Checking targets casting time?

[gloover]

Hey experts.

I'm trying to make a script with a part checking the remaining time of targets cast?

To be exact, I want to check the cast of mechanical bug in ToSH, so if its spawning the small bugs, my mage should react with "Discharge". Has someone any idea?

The only information we collect is whether the mob is casting or not. If you want to know how much time is remaining on their cast then you will have to read memory. I happen to know the offsets needed. Something like this should do it.

Code: Select all

casttime = memoryReadRepeat("float", getProc(), target.Address + 0x260)
elapsedtime = memoryReadRepeat("float", getProc(), target.Address + 0x264)
remaining = casttime-elapsedtime

Do you want to farm tp with the bot? oO

@ Ego, yes, that was my intention.

@ rock, your sugested code seems not to be working on the simple code

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><waypoints type="TRAVEL">
<onLoad>
	changeProfileOption("MAX_TARGET_DIST", 400);
	
	
	player:target(106355) 
	while (true) do
		casttime = memoryReadRepeat("float", getProc(), target.Address + 0x260)
		elapsedtime = memoryReadRepeat("float", getProc(), target.Address + 0x264)
		remaining = casttime-elapsedtime
		printf(remaining)
		printf("\n")
	end

</onLoad>
</waypoints>

got this error
5:57pm - scripts\rom/bot.lua:505: onLoad error: [string "..."]:7: attempt to index global 'target' (a nil value)

have also try to read a "floatptr" instead of "float" - same errror

That's because you don't define 'target'. Try

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><waypoints type="TRAVEL">
<onLoad>
   changeProfileOption("MAX_TARGET_DIST", 400);
   
   
   local target = player:findNearestNameOrId(106355)
   if target then
      player:target(target)
      while player:hasTarget() do
         casttime = memoryReadRepeat("float", getProc(), target.Address + 0x260)
         elapsedtime = memoryReadRepeat("float", getProc(), target.Address + 0x264)
         remaining = casttime-elapsedtime
         printf(remaining)
         printf("\n")
      end
   end

</onLoad>
</waypoints>
