How do I make my bot hide directly after looting and before it moves off looking for another target ?
When I put hide into my skills section my bot loots and runs off after another mob and then will try to hide once it gets within attack distance. This makes my bot extremely easy to detect. Im new to this and any help would be much appreciated.

edit: I had my hide as the highest priority also "115"

Also if the bot could keep trying to hide until a dmg dot wears off before continuing off on its merry way would be perfect as 99% of all mobs at high lvl hit you with a dot. (Not very important as I 1 shot every mob if im premed but would be good for lower lvl rogues.)

[hihi]

After some searching I found this.

http://www.solarstrike.net/phpBB3/viewt ... f=21&t=710

will try it until someone can help me

[rock5]

Please paste here the line you used when adding Hide to your profile.

[hihi]

<skill name="ROGUE_HIDE" hotkey="VK_5" priority="120" inbattle="false" />

You could try a hook. Create the file userfunctions.lua in the rom folder (if you haven't already), and put this in it:

Code: Select all

local __PLAYER_LOOT_ORIG = CPlayer.loot;

CPlayer.loot = function ()
  __PLAYER_LOOT_ORIG(); -- loot
  player:cast("Hide");  -- hide
  yrest(1000); -- wait 1 second before running off
end

[rock5]

<skill name="ROGUE_HIDE" hotkey="VK_5" priority="120" inbattle="false" />

I tried that setting, it worked most of the time. Unfortunately if it failed to caste it wont realize or if you cast some other skill after it, it may get interrupted. Luckily the new Skill System that Voidmain is working on will fix all that. It knows the buffs for all skills and will keep trying to cast it until it succeeds. Shouldn't be much longer now.

[hihi]

Thanks for your replies. I will try the userfnction.lua thing, and the new stuff going into the bot sounds cool.

P.S. Thanks for your work on the chicken eggs rock5

CPlayer.loot = function ()
  __PLAYER_LOOT_ORIG(); -- loot
  player:cast("Hide");  -- hide
  yrest(1000); -- wait 1 second before running off
end

Creating this file in the rom folder and pasting your code into it makes the bot get an error after combat is finished and before it loots.

rom/classes/player.lua:1107: attempt to index local 'self' <a nil value>

[Administrator]

Then change the loot call to this:

Code: Select all

__PLAYER_LOOT_ORIG(player);

[hihi]

so change this line in my player profile <option name="LOOT" value="true" /> to <option name="__PLAYER_LOOT_ORIG(player);" value="true" />

or do you mean where the bot actually runs the loot function ?

If you could direct me to the correct file I should be fine from there. thanks again

[Administrator]

No, change it in the code I gave you before.

[hihi]

oh heh. ok thanks.

[hihi]

Code: Select all

local __PLAYER_LOOT_ORIG = CPlayer.loot;

CPlayer.loot = function ()
  __PLAYER_LOOT_ORIG(player); -- loot
  yrest(5000); -- wait 1 second before running off
  player:cast("ROGUE_HIDE");  -- hide
  
end

renamed hide to what its name was in the skills db and moved the rest period before the hide, now it waits for dots to wear off and hides.

Works like a charm. looks a little noticeable as he just stands there until it fires the hide skill.

Thanks for your help

i realize this is kind of old thread but. i am usin this the casting works fine im even fightin gmobs that have a dot and it always cast hide the right way. the only problem is the game is buggy and when the bot use hide on first cast it does not actually apply the buff. anyway to make it check if it succeeded and keep recasting hide until it does if not in combat.

If you have it casting at the right time, you can check to see if it worked in the onSkillCast section of your profile.

Just check if arg1.Name = "ROGUE_HIDE" and player.Battling ~= true then check if player:hasBuff("Hide") or whatever the buff is called. If not keep trying until it does.

[rock5]

Forgot to ask. How do you make it work with dots?

[Alkaiser]

<skill name="ROGUE_HIDE" hotkey="VK_5" priority="120" inbattle="false" />

Any news on the new skill system?

I've partially converted mine to use DIYCE's cooldown CD('skill') function.

Code: Select all

<onPreSkillCast>
	if( arg1.Name == "KNIGHT_CHARGE" ) then
		local CD = RoMScript("CD('Charge')") or false
		if( CD ) then
			return true
		else
			return false
		end
	else
		return true
	end
</onPreSkillCast>

Then I deleted the cooldown values in skills.lua. So if for some reason the bot tries to use Charge, but it doesn't activate for some reason, it will be able to try again without needlessly waiting.

It's been a long time. I haven't heard anything. I've given up hope on it.

I don't think that will work. The skills are not priority based, they cast in sequence. So your example will cast charge the next time it comes around but wont cast it just after it failed. Isn't that right? Or is the intention that charge be available for the next battle?

Correct. It still has to wait for the skills to cycle through, but since Charge and many other skills have long cooldowns, it works well enough. Having the bot retry the skill immediately before moving to the next skill in the list would be ideal, but it isn't what I was attempting to address with this.

You could also do this:

Code: Select all

    player:queueSkill("KNIGHT_CHARGE", true);

This will queue the skill and keep it queued until it can be used.
