Honorbuddy quest bot just keeps targetting companions.

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread.
It is being worked on.
sorry I have nothing more to say

 

re-opened upon request.

 

Ligurt, My apologies for the run around people have been getting on this issue. Unfortunately Singular isn't setting the target. The line referenced above as indicating Singular is the component changing the target:

Code:

[COLOR=orange][COLOR=black][FONT=Courier New][22:35:47.831 D] Cleared POI - Reason Waiting for loot flag
[22:35:47.831 D] Cleared POI
[B][22:35:48.567 N] [Singular-DEBUG] CurrentTarget set to: [U][I][URL="http://www.wowhead.com/npc=34285"]Trapped Wolf[/URL][/I][/U].4E54 h=100.0%, maxh=396, d=22.5 yds, box=1.8, player=False, hostile=False[/B][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR]

is merely debugging output written by Singular. I added the message to identify when "something" changed the current target, not when Singular does. This message was added to Singular to help identify and trouble shoot posts like this.

There is a lot of discussion that Singular is errantly targeting friendly mobs. For solo questing, Singular does not change the Current Target -- it merely accepts whatever target is given to it by the BotBase (Questing bot in this case.) It will sometimes directly target (different than changing the Current Target frame) adds for AoE, Crowd Control, etc. There was a bug fixed in this area quite awhile ago where it was wasting Hex, Traps, and other Crowd Control on DK Bloodworms, Totems, etc. These by the way are all hostile targets so it was a different issue entirely, but was fixed since these are clearly not targets you want to spend a crowd control cooldown upon.

I have not seen a complete debug log submitted where Singular targeted a friendly mob. Just to be clear, I am aware that logs have been submitted where the impact to the user was that something targeted a friendly mob and the BotBase would invoke Singular as the Combat Routine telling it to kill the Current Target. However it isn't Singular in the driver seat for any of that, it's merely a servant so to speak doing what it was told. So what I haven't seen is a debug log where Singular specifically identified targeting a friendly player/npc as being the correct thing to do.

When does Singular choose a Current Target? You will see the following message:

Code:

[Singular]Current target is not the best target. Switching to (name goes here)

This only occurs if something gets in the way of you having the correct current target as specified by the Bot. What is the correct current target? It is the POI. If that is invalid or dead, then it then asks the BotBase targeting for the next target. That's it for solo questing. If Singular is trying to attack a friendly it's because the Bot, a Plug-in, or the User targeted and the Bot continues to call the Combat behavior telling Singular to kill it.

Hope that helps. The issue will require a change one or more of HonorBuddy, Questing Bot, or the Quest profile. -Bobby53
