Ground Spawns

Currently writing a macro for collect ground spawns in various zones but have a small problem. I have read though the read me looking for help but i am now stumped or missing something obvious.

Some items spawn in world objects such as trees and what not.

Is there anyway i could filter those locations out of the /item or /itemtarget?

Or my current thinking is set a #event for the /item list and check the loc of each storing them in an array and track down spawns ike that skipping over the locs of unatainable ones, but would a event grab all the lines fast enough so that it could record the locs of all in the zone?

Any help much appreciated. This talioring is the pain and i really like to be able to get talioring going a little faster w/o having to worry about my supply of leaves and acorns

BTW is it against the rules of the forum for me to drop this in the macro depot when finished?

The best way is to creat an arry of the bad items but instead of using the event since it wont trigger one, is to use the collision logic to see if you can walk around the object. once you make a 360 add it to the list then move to the next one.

You might do a search on ground spawns to see if anyone has posted them before and if so you can add your code here.

i thought of that but is there a way to determine which spawn would be next closest?

I'm thinking you could get the distance to it and target using a minimum range just above the distance.

The collision logic comment was just a check to see if it was somewhere on the other side of a tree for example. You can set the logic to try once, log it then move to next by using the distance.

There are several examples of finding the next closest target.
