advpath.inc v1.31 -- follow/record/playback pathing inc file

[aChallenged1]

Vexix, thanks that last version worked perfectly.
Bad Karma, thank you for the pointer to your script, new version is up and running and posted in Macro Depot.


Now for the bug report...

When you go to zone it targets a door, always the same one for the zone and the point of zone out. I've checked the script to be sure it wasn't something I've done. This worries me as it could give "them" something to look for in trying to find users of MQ2 to ban them. Would you please look at the SH Faction script, test it out and see if you can track down where that is happening and fix it?

Im still having issues with this working with follow on. My botted char will zone with me if Im not using a book or stone but will zone right back out. Also it doesnt know how to use stones/books to zone when its following me. What would cause this? And Yea I have the most recent version.

Wardave,

By any chance, do you have a larger character following a smaller one? I've found that it's only with a large race following a small race that causes the zone in and then zone out problem. I haven't had a chance to play with illusions to confirm if this is the case.

I also notice that the large character is often looking at the ground when the master clicks on a portal and the bot is unable to click because of where he's looking. When I manually center the display and hit "u", I have no problem. Maybe putting a /face in after targetting the portal would help in this situation.

How would one use this snippet to have one character follow another...I have found a couple out-dates macros that use this snippet..but none of the work.

Is there a command built into MQ2 now that will do this?

You could use the plugin MQ2MoveUtils

I'd like to be able to follow someone's pet. Why? To automate a mage to summon an item and trade it to a pet. Here's the change I made:

Code: Select all

} else /if (${NearestSpawn[1,pet "${TgtName}"].ID}>0) {
    /target clear 
    /call Delay 2 
    /target pet "${TgtName}" 
    /call Delay 4 
    /if (${Target.ID}>0 && ${Target.CleanName.Equal["${TgtName}"]}) { 
        /varset ZoneTimer 0 
        /varset ZoneFlag 0 
        /varset FollowFlag 1 
        /varset FollowID ${Target.ID} 
        /if (${CurrLoc}==1) /varset CurrFollLoc ${Spawn[${FollowID}].Y} ${Spawn[${FollowID}].X} ${Spawn[${FollowID}].Z} 
        /if (${SilentFlag}==0) /echo -[ Following -( ${Target.CleanName} )- ]- 
} else /if (${ZoneFollow}==1) { 

The bottom line should tell you where this is inserted (above it) in the existing code.

This broken again? Seems it can't target the person anymore if u want to follow them

[somedude]

wrong thread... sorry

[Mystic_Blue]

Has anyone every posted an example of an actual ADVPATH script?

I have having some difficulties, mostly even envisioning what it would like. So if someone is willing to post an example of a small script, it will help me see what I am not understanding.

I know that ml listed some barebones examples, but he left out the parts I am confused about, .ie. do stuff here AFTER arriving at the destination.

Thanks

[fearless]

The do stuff after has absolutely nothing to do with this snippet, and everything to do with the macro that calls it.

[Mystic_Blue]

how do you figure that? seems the scripts are used by this snippet.

I just want to see an example, ANY actual example, not asking for one that any specific thing.

I did a search and there does not seem to be any such posts.

Now, if I were asking for a script that did something specific, as called by ADVBOT or something like that, I could see it.

[A_Druid_00]

You use regular macroing commands after calling this script. Just use advpath to get you to point X, then once you're at point X it returns you to your main macro, which executes any subsequent commands associated with the Sub that called Advpath in the first place. Advpath isn't going to tell you how to make your macro do anything that it doesn't handle directly.

If you want an example of how to use Advpath in a macro, look at genbot. It's quite a monster as far as macros go, but it uses advpath relatively seamlessly.

[Mystic_Blue]

AH!

Thanks, that is precisely what I was not understanding.

Issue solved

[dedpoet]

What I have done is use the little snippet Vexix posted on the first page to make a "recordpath.mac" macro. Then I run a route I want to take through each zone and save it to a file. I don't really do the afk thing, but now I have little macs that string the paths together to run me various places without having to worry about it. "/mac spiritstone", and go get a cup of coffee while my shaman gates to his spiritstone spot, runs to the PoK book, and clicks up. Much <3 for advpath.

Modification to get this working with Group --> Group.Member changes. In advpath.inc, in this sub

Code: Select all

Sub TargetMob(TgtName)

Change this line

Code: Select all

/if (${Group.Member[${a}].Name.Equal[${TgtName}]}) /return
