How to: using waypoint files (Examples: DQ running, multi )

[master121]

Code: Select all

if( os.difftime(os.time(), player.BotStartTime) > 3600 ) then
	printf("do some other coding stuff");
end;

Do something, if the bot is running for more then 1 hour (= 3600 seconds). If you pause the bot, the BotStartTime will be reseted.

Is there another way to reset the BotStartTime ?

You could just do it by yourself

Code: Select all

player.BotStartTime = 0;

What do you want to do? I would more suggest to use the user fields and copy the time to that fields:

Code: Select all

player.free_field1 = nil;			-- free field for user use
player.free_field2 = nil;			-- free field for user use
player.free_field3 = nil;			-- free field for user use
player.free_counter1 = 0;			-- free counter for user use
player.free_counter2 = 0;			-- free counter for user use
player.free_counter3 = 0;			-- free counter for user use		
player.free_flag1 = false;			-- free flag for user use
player.free_flag2 = false;			-- free flag for user use
player.free_flag3 = false;			-- free flag for user use

I want the bot to repair buy potions after one hour and when it has done that he runs back to the mobs.
But then he goes for repairing again so i have to reset the BotStartTime....
And thanks

OK, understand. I would do it fight based

Code: Select all

	if( player.Fights-player.free_counter1 > 400 ) then
		player.free_counter1 = player.Fights;
		load_paths("xyz_repair");
	end

People don't even bother reading what's already right in front of them. I don't think a wiki would be that much more useful except for those very few who actually bother.

I personaly like wikis. It's more easy to read and navigate as different forum posts. And sometimes I read even the micromacro wiki. So in my optinion it would be nice to have a wiki for the bot. That would also make the process of documentation more easy because more people could write on that at the same time.

EDIT: lol. I just clicked the micromacro wiki and detect RoM Bot wiki. Is that the official start of the wiki?

I didn't start it, but people are free to contribute to it.

Anyways, showWindow() has it's limitations. It can only force that window to the foreground if 1) MicroMacro created the window 2) MicroMacro created the process that created the window 3) MicroMacro is in the foreground. This largely makes showWindow() useless when dealing with multiple instances.

is there any way around this problem?

No. It is an issue with the Windows operating system.

Hello. Why this does not work?

Code: Select all

<waypoints>
	<!-- # 1 --><waypoint x="-3982" z="9004"></waypoint>
	<!-- # 2 --><waypoint x="-4119" z="9207"></waypoint>
	<!-- # 3 --><waypoint x="-4206" z="9481"></waypoint>
	<!-- # 4 --><waypoint x="-4024" z="9679"></waypoint>
	<!-- # 5 --><waypoint x="-4109" z="9856"></waypoint>
	<!-- # 6 --><waypoint x="-4260" z="10208"></waypoint>
	<!-- # 7 --><waypoint x="-4431" z="10446">__WPL:reverse();</waypoint>
</waypoints>

When he gets to #7, he should go to #6, but he directly wants to go to #1 (x="-3982" z="9004")

What have i done wrong?

In my opinion, everything is right. You could insert a

Code: Select all

printf("direction: %s\n", self.Direction);

before and after to see, that the coding is reached ... or you could change the direction manual directly in the waypoint by using:

Code: Select all

	if( self.Direction == WPT_FORWARD ) then
		self.Direction = WPT_BACKWARD;
	else
		self.Direction = WPT_FORWARD;
	end;

just to see, that everything is ok. Perhaps that will help to come a little closer to the problem you have.

Would i put:

Code: Select all

 if( player.Level > 4 ) then
         load_paths("l5_goto_6.xml");
        end;

under the last waypoint in the file?
and if i wanted to add more than one ... say for instance:

Code: Select all

 if( player.Level > 4 ) then
         load_paths("path1.xml");
        end;

 if( player.Level > 7 ) then
         load_paths("path2.xml");
        end;

 if( player.Level > 11 ) then
         load_paths("path3.xml");
        end;

would that be the correct way to do it? or would that even work?

No it would not. You write the load statement within a waypoint tag. And the bot will leave that waypoint file after he loads the new file. If you want to choose between different files to load, you could do that in the onLoad event in your profile? Depending from what you want to do.

hmmm well i was trying to do ....

Code: Select all

<waypoints type="NORMAL" >
   <!-- # 1 --><waypoint x="-2206" z="-9648"></waypoint>
   <!-- # 2 --><waypoint x="-2133" z="-9796">player:restrnd(20, 1, 10);</waypoint>
   <!-- # 3 --><waypoint x="-2224" z="-9882">player:restrnd(20, 1, 10);</waypoint>
   ...
   <!-- # 7 --><waypoint x="-2391" z="-9639">
      if( player.Level > 4 ) then
         load_paths("l5_goto_6.xml");
        end;
   </waypoint>
</waypoints>

where i level and he will move paths ... but i wanted to add at least 2 new paths so if he leveled faster than i think he will be fighting the right stuff instead of the lower level things ...

if i can only add that 1 path at the end of a waypoint file that is fine i am just trying to see what all i can do with it


a thought .... what if i put ...

Code: Select all

<waypoints type="NORMAL" >
   <!-- # 1 --><waypoint x="-2206" z="-9648"></waypoint>
   <!-- # 2 --><waypoint x="-2133" z="-9796">player:restrnd(20, 1, 10);</waypoint>
   <!-- # 3 --><waypoint x="-2224" z="-9882">player:restrnd(20, 1, 10);</waypoint>
   ...
   <!-- # 7 --><waypoint x="-2391" z="-9639">
      if( player.Level > 4 ) then
         load_paths("Path1.xml");
        end;
   </waypoint>
</waypoints>

then in the path1 file have ...

Code: Select all

<waypoints type="NORMAL" >
   <!-- # 1 --><waypoint x="-2206" z="-9648"></waypoint>
   <!-- # 2 --><waypoint x="-2133" z="-9796">player:restrnd(20, 1, 10);</waypoint>
   <!-- # 3 --><waypoint x="-2224" z="-9882">player:restrnd(20, 1, 10);</waypoint>
   ...
   <!-- # 7 --><waypoint x="-2391" z="-9639">
      if( player.Level > 8 ) then
         load_paths("Path2.xml");
        end;
   </waypoint>
</waypoints>

soooooo with that thinking it would keep switching paths whenever he hit that certain level that i choose for him

If you level faster, then your character will change the path faster. Thats the best way. I don't think you want to do three diffenrent waypointfile, all starting from the same point? If you really want to do that, you could do

Code: Select all

      if( player.Level > 6 ) then
         load_paths("l6_goto_6.xml");
      elseif( player.Level > 5 ) then
         load_paths("l5_goto_5.xml");
      elseif( player.Level > 3 ) then
         load_paths("l4_goto_4.xml");
        end;

You can look at the folder '\waypoints\1-10Pioneers' for examples.

[copenhagen69]

ok i looked at that folder to see how they were set up ...

this is how my WPs look now ...

Code: Select all

so if i keep this going in the files then that should work and have them just keep on leveling and changing paths every time they hit that level requirement.... correct?

for instance ....

i have path 1 to lvl 5 then path 2 to lvl 12 path 3 to lvl 15 .... if i keep updating my WPs files like i did above .... IN THEORY ... my guy will just keep going to the different paths when he hits those levels and never stop ... right?

[d003232]

IN THEORY ... my guy will just keep going to the different paths when he hits those levels and never stop ... right?

Yes that's it. On higher level you have perhaps to go to a merchant, repair, clear your bag. But a least from LvL 1-10 it goes without problem in one hour.

i am now 16 but it still had not loaded the new path ... am i missing something here?

[d003232]

what the ....

Code: Select all

        end;

You are missing the closing tag.

Code: Select all

	<!-- #22 --><waypoint x="-646" z="-8070">
		if( player.Level > 3 ) then
			loadPaths("1-10Pioneers/l4t_logar");
	  	end
	</waypoint>

means a '</waypoint>' after every opening '<waypoint ...>'
