Problems with setting up a finishing move.

[Exempt]

Hello, I'm Exempt!...

I'm trying to setup my mage to use Fireball when the mob is almost dead. I made it so it works by reading the tutorial but it's far from working well.

The problem is most of the time the mobs die in two hits and it will never cast Fireball on the second hit... Only after it has casted Flame twice or so will it even try to cast Fireball and that is normally after the mob is dead.

Edit: The code i'm using mostly is in the onSkillCast event.

EDIT: Just incase this is brought up.. After the first Flame the mobs are around 10% hp.

I tried to just edit my last post but it made he font go all crazy..

I found a function called targethpper but it's has the exact same affect.

Code: Select all

<skills_mage>
		<skill name="MAGE_FIREBALL"        hotkey="VK_2"  targethpper="35"/>
		<skill name="MAGE_FLAME"              hotkey="VK_1" priority="70"/>
		<skill name="MAGE_ELEMENTAL_CATALYST" hotkey="VK_9" priority="30" inbattle="true" />
		<skill name="PRIEST_URGENT_HEAL"        hotkey="VK_5" autouse="false" />
		<skill name="PRIEST_HOLY_AURA"        hotkey="VK_7" autouse="false" />
		<skill name="PRIEST_REGENERATE"        hotkey="VK_6" autouse="false" />

It's because your fireball has not hit the target and done damage by the time you are ready to cast the next skill. The bot cannot predict the future, so there is nothing that can be done. Don't worry about it, when used against higher level enemies it is not a problem.

[Exempt]

I figured as much. Thanks for the reply.

I have a new question now.

If I use itemTotalCount() like this will it return the inventory count say 1-60? My goal is to make it go to the vendor if i need to repair or have a full inventory.

Code: Select all

<onLeaveCombat>		
		if( inventory:itemTotalCount() > 59 ) then
			player.free_flag1 = true;
		end;

		local dura = inventory:getMainHandDurability();
		if( 0.9 > dura ) then
			player.free_flag1 = true;
		end;
	</onLeaveCombat>

Edit: Also, ever since I made that first post so big I can barely read the font on this site anymore. Do you happen to know a fix?


Edit: Is there a way i can get a list of all possible functions?

Edit again... I forgot one other thing i intend to add, just incase it makes a difference. I'm going to make it so it will go to the merchants when it's out of a potion aswell.

Edit: I let the bot run a while as is... The inventory count function doesn't do what I had hoped. What is the function to check if the inventory is full?

[Administrator]

itemTotalCount() returns the total amount of one specific type of item, not how many slots are used. You could write your own function to check the number of inventory slots used, if you want.

I really don't know how to in the scripting language.
