code to change channel after killin a mob

[bankaikid]

i found on this forum the code to change channel, but i dont manage to make it work for my bot (goal is to farm a specific mob, loot it and change chanel every time it's killed ):

<onLeaveCombat><![CDATA[
sendMacro("ChangeParallelID(1)");
]]></onLeaveCombat>

is workin, but what i try to do is like :

<onLeaveCombat><![CDATA[
if( 1 = GetCurrentParallelID() )then sendMacro("ChangeParallelID(2)");
else sendMacro("ChangeParallelID(1)");
]]></onLeaveCombat>

and this one doesnt work. where is the mistake, i need some help ?

edit : in the end

<onLeaveCombat><![CDATA[
sendMacro("ChangeParallelID(1)");
sendMacro("ChangeParallelID(2)");
]]></onLeaveCombat>

works fine, but now the issue is i change channel before looting, is there a code for loot i could use before ?

have u seen this topic: http://www.solarstrike.net/phpBB3/viewt ... nel#p13218
??

i didnt seen, thx for the link.
but it doesnt solve the actual problem, i can already change channel after killing the mob i want, but it change channel before looting it ! rest function just make it wait before changing chan
what i need is code to say "loot mob" before the "sendMacro("ChangeParallelID(1)");"

oh, i didnt see anything about it in previouse post, maybe i didnt get u well
i would go for player:loot(); and then switch channel function in the onleavecombat section

thx !!! it was that one "player:loot();" i was lookin for , it works now !

Code: Select all

<onLeaveCombat><![CDATA[
		if( 1 = GetCurrentParallelID() )then sendMacro("ChangeParallelID(2)");
		else sendMacro("ChangeParallelID(1)");
 ]]></onLeaveCombat>

BTW, I can tell you how to fix this, for future reference.
1. When making comparisons you use '==' not '='.
2. 'If' statements finish with an 'end'.
3. 'GetCurrentParallelID' is an ingame function so you need to use RoMScript or sendMacro.

So this should work.

Code: Select all

<onLeaveCombat><![CDATA[
		if( 1 == RoMScript("GetCurrentParallelID()") ) then sendMacro("ChangeParallelID(2)");
		else sendMacro("ChangeParallelID(1)"); end
 ]]></onLeaveCombat>

Does it work differently if you write those commands inside cdata tags? I have always written my code outside of cdata tags.

I don't think so. I also don't use cdata tags. I believe the main advantage to using them is you don't get errors when using xml symbols like '<' in your lua code. (Don't quote me though)

Yes, CDATA tags are just to prevent any confusion in the XML parser when using certain symbols (such as '<'). Any code that is longer than a few lines should probably be inside CDATA tags, but it is not necessary.
