      Hey guys,

      I think it would be pretty cool if the bot was able to throw down a portal before death and then use that portal to come back to where it died instead of running back from the previous known waypoints.

      This type of logic is possible, but no normal player is quick enough to react that fast and pop a portal (unless they're using macros).

      It's something I had discussed with some of our users and devs, and we decided it wasn't really the best thing to add.

      I have another suggestion for Portals.

      Atm my bot wastes countless amount of Portals because the Portal gem is kinda unuseable.
      What happens if his inventory is full and a new rare drops is that the bot will try to cast portal and because portal gem's casting is being interrupted / stopped even if you don't get stunned, but just hit by white mob, the bot will never be able to cast the portal and retry again for hours.

      So before casting portal, from the gem or scroll - for safety, always check for monsters nearby - kill, and then cast.

      How is this any different from the chicken log out? Most people would have to hit escape and then click exit to log out. Not sure what command you use to log out instantly for chicken.

      With chickening, you hit esc then logout.

      With portalling, you hit your inventory, click the portal scroll (which can be anywhere in your inventory really), then click the actual portal. That's 2 things that require good mouse precision, on top of the lag time from using an item, and going through the portal.

      Chickening has the lag time of... nothing. It's just a log out.

      It's cool that you guys have thought about it, would it be an option to pop down a portal upon entering a new zone and then once again every time its used to come back to that zone, my main concern is that the bot looks very robotic when running through zones that is has already cleared (especially ledge when it runs the wrong way first before going to the rocky climb)

      I would love to see some portal logic as well. Especially when you have multiple bots running as a group. When one dies it will take the waypoint instead of a portal that's open to the same zone. Would be nice if this could be added as an option. This would also be great for those who use the Portal gem with Cast on Death.
