hi i have the problem that my bot won't "find" a NPC, that is already in range!?! the strange thing is that the code SOMETIMES work...without opening the npc window

(btw player:merchant command wont work too) the bot doesn't take the npc as target.

im talking about the NPC "Sturobold" (the Dog-guy from the Teleporters)

code should be fine,cause MM dont give me an error.

WP code:

Code: Select all

	
		yrest(4000)	
		player:target_NPC("Sturobold");
		yrest(600);
		sendMacro("ChoiceOption(3);");
		yrest(600);
		sendMacro("StaticPopup_OnClick(StaticPopup1, 1);");
		yrest(4000)
		waitForLoadingScreen(); 
		player:update();

MM output:

Code: Select all

Wir gehen zum Wegpunkt #15, (-xxx, xxx)
Wir versuchen den NPC Sturobold zu finden:
Wir können den NPC Sturobold nicht finden!
Drücke MACRO: RoMScript ausführen "ChoiceOption(4);".
Drücke MACRO: RoMScript ausführen "StaticPopup_OnClick(StaticPopup1, 1);".

do somebody have that problem too? is there a macro to see the npc's arround me in MM?

thanks a lot 4 help

If it can't find the npc, are there any special characters in his name?

I thought of 2 things. You might need to run a "player:update()" before you target the npc. If that doesn't help, try using the npcs id.

Code: Select all

player:target_NPC(111256)

thx rock i try the player:update() command and write the results here tomorrow

Posted: **Fri Jul 01, 2011 9:04 pm**

i tried both ...with ID and the update command in front of target npc...but nothing work

i think that can cause by other things? or how can i get the Npc's around me with a macro or else? so i can see if the bot "detects" the npc cause the bot say "cand FIND npc" so no repair or autosell works for me

Object Viewer in my signature will show you the objects (and NPCs) that are currently around you.

Obviously you're using the German client so I have no idea what NPC you're talking about

.

Is that a teleporter? I have another userfunction in my signature that works with teleporters.

Assuming the name is right, after you install the userfunction you would use this in your waypoint script:

Code: Select all

isTeleport("next","Sturobold",3);

I just added my latest updates to it (had been thinking on changing the name for a while, this topic pushed me over the edge though

).

ty but befor the patch i think it worked fine... now ne target NO npc...he dont even get the target, but ill try try your addon for the npcs

and i will see if its a micromacro error or anything else.

btw normally i run ks script but target npc or merchant wps dont work anymore

Posted: **Sat Jul 02, 2011 8:57 am**

Ah, if that's the case then it might just be the version of the bot you're using. Try doing an SVN update. My addon won't fix anything if the basic function of the bot isn't working.

Posted: **Sat Jul 02, 2011 9:54 am**

no dude i do a svn update nearly once a day

and BTW your ingame function show me a list of npc's in my range.
funny is that my repair vendor is in that list too

also sturobold, that i cant target too.

so MM should target the mob but he dont target it. what else can cause this problem?

all is same as before. I only updated MM and the Game.

ehm... what function or file in the MM or BOT folder is for interact with npc's? maybe i dont have it anymore?!? but i think svn-update do a check for that,dont it?

maybe someone can help me

i trust in admins, they are good coders too

Posted: **Sat Jul 02, 2011 11:18 am**

From what you've wrote above, MM sees all the NPCs around you so that's not the broken part. Try deleting your addresses.lua and do another SVN update.

I wouldn't reccomend changing it but all functions in the player class (prefixed by player: ) are in the scripts\rom\classes\player.lua file. The function itself is just functionality so there can't really be anything wrong with it unless RW changes the way the interface works.

This sounds like a case of addresses being off to me but I could be wrong.

Posted: **Sat Jul 02, 2011 11:30 am**

I just tested in German and it work.

Here's the reasons I can think off why it wouldn't work.
1. You are stopping out of range.
2. You are doing more than 1 teleport in the one waypoint without doing a player:update().
3. You've been messing around with the rombot files and now they don't work properly anymore.

Actually, that's it. Can't think of anything else at the moment

Posted: **Sat Jul 02, 2011 7:42 pm**

hmm i try to delete the adresses.lua file and the files in /classes...then i make a svn update

after it i will test again and give a feedback here...

I just tested in German and it work.

Here's the reasons I can think off why it wouldn't work.
1. You are stopping out of range.

--I stay 1m away from npc

2. You are doing more than 1 teleport in the one waypoint without doing a player:update().

--funktion already in waypoint file directly in front of npc code

3. You've been messing around with the rombot files and now they don't work properly anymore.

-- maybe the last svn update causes errors?

Actually, that's it. Can't think of anything else at the moment

but what i find strange is it target mobs without any error but no npc :S

Sorry, could you post the contents of your waypoint file in code tags? It's looking less and less like a bot issue and more like a "script somehow broke" issue.

of course

Code: Select all

		
player:update();
player:merchant("Fadiya Royil")
	if player:openStore("Fadiya Royil") then
      		 for i, item in pairs(inventory.BagSlot) do
      		  if (item.Worth > 333) then
       		     item:use()
    		     end
     		 end
	   end

code-snippet from your function output...green is the npc he should use..

MM output in German:

Code: Select all

Lösche Ziel.
Wir gehen zum Wegpunkt #10, ()
Wir versuchen den NPC Fadiya Royil zu finden:
Wir können den NPC Fadiya Royil nicht finden!
Wir versuchen den NPC Fadiya Royil zu finden:
Wir können den NPC Fadiya Royil nicht finden!
Wir gehen zum Wegpunkt #11, ()
Wir gehen zum Wegpunkt #12, ()

can it be an ingame-macro problem? i dont know when i update it last time in RoM folder

^^

Posted: **Sat Jul 02, 2011 8:30 pm**

Using http://translation.babylon.com/german/to-english/ I get:

Code: Select all

We go to the waypoint #10, ()
We try to find the NPC Fadiya Royil: 
we can not find the NPC Fadiya Royil! 
We try to find the NPC Fadiya Royil: 
we can not find the NPC Fadiya Royil! 
We go to the waypoint #11, () 
we go to the waypoint #12, ()

So, again, not finding the NPC.

No, this can't be an IGF thing. If it isn't opening the store it's not going to sell anything no matter what.

Try using the object ID of the NPC instead. You can get it using the Object Viewer you used before.
ex:

Code: Select all

player:target_NPC(123456)

Posted: **Sat Jul 02, 2011 8:37 pm**

i tried it yesterday with the ID numbers....then comes cant find npc (123456)

next what i try is completely new romb*t folder with pasted configs :S lets see

or do you have some more ideas miester?

I'm pretty sure he intended for you to find the correct ID, not use 123456.

Fadiya Royil 118307

Code: Select all

player:target_NPC(118307)

Posted: **Sat Jul 02, 2011 10:41 pm**

Ah, thank you lisa. I couldn't tell what that text he posted was. It's missing the header

.
(I also couldn't read the green text, too bright on my screen)

hamstaa, you already deleted most of your files and reloaded them from SVN, if anything just delete the rest of your main directory files and reload them but I really think this is just a matter of finding the right text to use. Try lisa's code and let us know.

Posted: **Sun Jul 03, 2011 8:54 am**

Changes in Code:

Code: Select all

player:update();
player:merchant(118307)
	if player:openStore(118307) then....

ty lisa but know how to handle with ID

ill give u a result in approx. 30 min

BTW i tried it with my "old" rom folder and a completely new one(svn update)...same result

here is the result of changing wp file...MM output

Code: Select all

Wir versuchen den NPC 118307 zu finden:
