How to "stay" in a waypoint until the fight is over?

[Cindy]

So I enter a zone, and want to kill mobs coming at me in waves until they stop, and get sent back to the previous zone (guild castle). How do I not advance to the next waypoint? ie stay in current one?

I was thinking of doing a while loop checking on what zone i am in until im back in guild castle. Incidentally anyone know what the ID is for the Guild Castle Zone? (and are the mini's in there a different zone?)

Is there a smarter way?

Thanks

you can get zone ID just by bringing up the games FPS display, control X from memory.

sounds like a while loop would work, need to do an update in the loop and I'd say just do a findenemy and if it finds an enemy do player:fight() on it

Code: Select all

repeat

if player:target(player:findEnemy(true,nil,evalTargetDefault)) then
player:fight()
end
yrest(500)

until getZoneId() == ***

That is just to give you an idea

if that isn't ideal just do.

Code: Select all

player:target(player:findEnemy())

I assume it is just mobs you can kill in there.

Yes they come in waves, 10 or 15 sec apart, i forgot. More come each wave, there is 10 rounds (if i recall correctly). The trouble is that there is a period where there are no enemies, as the mage takes them down very fast with AoE.

Oh wow, Ctrl-X I never saw that since my button bars are over it. Thanks lisa.

I'm thinking that this code should work

Code: Select all

while(RoMScript("GetZoneID()") ~= 354) do yrest(10000) end;

Since a round is 10 sec (if its 15, ill make the ywrest 15000), I should not move to next waypoint before next wave of mobs aggro me and I fight them. Once fight is over, will they 'yrest' resume? Should this work? (I can't test until tomorrow, since its only once a day for the mini).

I know exactly what you want to do. But the thing is, that the zone id doesn't change. You are on the drill ground and you will get ported back to the start point of the drill ground with a short loadingscreen.

You are right, ZoneID stays the same... can i do ax/y coordinate based check? Also there is yellow text, "Stage x" that is readable right? maybe I could go off that.

Code: Select all

	
        <!-- #  10 --><waypoint x="5120" z="2537" y="13">	
	    __WPL:setForcedWaypointType("NORMAL");
		player:target_NPC(112006); yrest(500);  --"Special Training Manager");
		sendMacro("ChoiceOption(2);"); yrest(500);
		sendMacro("ChoiceOption(2);"); yrest(500); waitForLoadingScreen(20); rest(3000);
		yrest(160000); 
	</waypoint>

This code failed

So the question is, how do I stay in this waypoint for 160 seconds, and fight like I was doing wander waypoint with distance set to 0?

Did you try Lisas example above?

[lisa]

So the question is, how do I stay in this waypoint for 160 seconds,

Just alter the loop I did to be for time.

Code: Select all

local tt = os.time()
repeat

if player:target(player:findEnemy(true,nil,evalTargetDefault)) then
player:fight()
end
yrest(500)

until os.time() - tt >= 160

That is off the top of my head, should work though.

Ok will try. First one won't work because zoneid stays the same.

Worked great ! thanks
