Does anyone know how to code to open a door? (Creating public FP profiles)

There is code for clicking an elevator and a transportation object (speeder), but I'm not sure if there's one for a door. Check out some of the profiles posted here and see if you can find anything. Sorry I'm not much help, I don't write profiles

 

My best bet, is to use UseObject or Interact.
Do note Interact doesnt give the bot feedback IF it has pressed it, so its best to use this in a While statement to check if the condition is being fullfilled.

So piece of code:

Code:

				
<If Condition="((HasQuest(0xE000D421C466388C)) and (not IsBranchTaskComplete(0xE000D421C466388C, 1, 5, 0)))">
	<UseObject QuestId="0xE000D421C466388C" Name="Dead Drop Blue Four" BranchId="1" StepId="5" TaskId="0" Radius="20" UseRange="5" IgnoreLOS="True" WaitTime="5" X="-357.16" Y="23.501" Z="-314.0908" />
</If>

Lets Begin with the start of the condition. You now see an If statement. You should read is as this:
IF my quest has this QuestId and is This BranchTaskComplete not complete THEN do this. The downside on this is, If the IF statement is true, then it does what ever is inside.
BUT if the bot fails to do what it has to do, it WILL NOT do this again. It thinks its done and goes to the next step. Now it you know it CAN fail then use a WHILE statement.
Its the same as IF, but keeps doing it till if succeeds that step. Downside on that is, if the game is bugged, or it cant complete, it will keep looping through that statement.

So my QuestId is 0xE000D421C466388C and this quest has a Branch, a Step and a Task part. You can see this at this part: 0xE000D421C466388C, 1, 5, 0.
If you are on a quest and you press my questlist, you'll see quests with their info. Now there are some variations to this:
0xE000D421C466388C, 1 - Represents QuestId and StepId (might be wrong at this, but it has Always worked like i thought it would do, may need to came back on this)
0xE000D421C466388C, 1, 5 - Represents QuestId, BranchId and StepId
0xE000D421C466388C, 1, 5, 0 - Represents QuestId, BranchId, StepId and TaskId.
If you code more, you'll see the difference and when to use this.
Do note, BranchId's mostly change, when you are on Classquests and are male or female or you made a choice that has a different options in story.

Now for the UseObject, this is only the part i mostly use, there are way more options, but this would suffice for your situation.
QuestId - fill in the same QuestId as in the statements (If or While).
Name is the objects name (do note, mouseover name or UI name can change from what its actually called.) If you see this that the name is correct and doesnt interact with it, use a dumper and check for an object that has a
misnaming or something. You'll find it eventually (YES it can happen)
BranchId, TaskId and StepId, can be found in the quest info.
Radius - search for this object on the coordinates specified at the end, with an radius and go to interact.
UseRange - How far the bot has to be at the object to interact with it (If you have objects in the air like clickable pipes, this will be a very high number)
IgnoreLOS - mostly keep this true, as it will force the bot to Always interact even if it cant see it. (Many objects are clipped inside other objects so the bot thinks it cant interact)
WaitTime - fill in the number that the bot has to wait for/after completion. i normally fill in the value that the interactiontimer gives me with maybe some extra.
Coordinates - nobrainer here.

Now for doors, i would think the best would be to set up a IF im inside a certain position.
You can do this with:

Code:

<If Condition="(Me.Position.X &gt; -116) and (Me.Position.X &lt; -110) and (Me.Position.Y &gt; 48) and (Me.Position.Y &lt; 49) and (Me.Position.Z &gt; -105) and (Me.Position.Z &lt; -100)">

get some points where you know the door will be between (coordinates) and use that to walk to and use the object.
If you are transported it will become falls and continues.

Hope this helps.

 

Thank you for the reply you two! Unfortunately after spending many hours trying to code this the results are the same... the toon runs into the door and not open it. Sigh. I wish it was simpler to code like HonorBuddy/RebornBuddy. I've looked at other profiles to no avail the last few days. I can release this profile but people will have to manually open the doors by pressing F9 to pause the bot.

 

So after trying tonight, i quickly gave up due to limitations of the bot.

This is [SOLO] The Esseles (REPUBLIC) example:

Code:

Issues i had were the following

• Cant dump Flashpoint quests (cant get info of the quest)
• Bot locks up and shuts down on an overloop error when switching zones
• UseTransport doesnt work
• Usevendor bug, why o why this is happening is beyond me, but it wanted to repair but there was nothing to repair and stays in an infinite loop.
  As you can see the workaround is to remove the name of vendor
• Couldnt find code for reading buffs from a profile to check if we need to call a helping droid.

As you can see there should be some work that needs to be done, before you can build a usefull profile.

ow and as you can see i used the quest ID of the SOLO quest and not the actual Flashpoint quest (as it cant be read).

 

Ah wow. Is there a way to some how refurbish the bot so it has more leniencies to make profiles? I wish it was as easy as RB >_<
As far as the profile you linked above for Esseles, does it actually work from beginning to end? I wasn't sure if you were referring to Boarding Party as the one giving issues or Esseles. Thanks again for all the help brother!

 

no it stops at the Transport, as it cant use for god knows what reason...
So i stopped there.
i had a talk with aevitas and we cant expect any mayor fixes as that would need a complete rewrite of some vital code inside BW.
So my work stops at this for this issue , till someday BW gets better

 

Cryo, what if you have a look at old profiles Metrienne did for the Illum Flashpoint for instance to make FP specific profiles? I am too dumb to figure it all out, but maybe a different approach would help? He used "Areaname" and "Roomname" instead of the usual "Hasquest blah blah" tags. Like this:

<If Condition="(BuddyTor.Client.AreaName == &quot;ilum_flashpoint_1_surface&quot">
<If Condition="(BuddyTor.Client.RoomName == &quot;Default&quot or (BuddyTor.Client.RoomName == &quot;lobby_hall&quot">
<Interact IgnoreQuestRelation="True" UseRange="2" WaitTime="5" Name="Shuttle Terminal" X="56.80637" Y="6.797591" Z="152.6764" />
<WaitTimer QuestId="1" WaitTime="3" />
</If>
</If>

<snip>

Sorry, I do not know how to link to the original post. But you might have to try the "interact" tag?
Orlok, in Metrienne's comments he said and I quote:
" The issue with botting within flashpoints is that Buddy Wing does not consider the flashpoint mission itself (not the one picked up outside) as a trackable quest. As such, this profile is relying on XYZ coordinates or other conditions to determine where you're at and ultimately what to do next. Normally profile writers would use QuestID (and their steps) as a means to keep track of what to tell Buddy Wing to do.

In addition, not having a trackable quest makes some mission steps difficult to accomplish. For example, at one point in Battle of Ilum we have to destroy three Force Field Generators using three Control Panels to reach the next step. A step like this normally calls for "UseObject," which will tell Buddy Wing to try until the step or task is complete. But because we have no trackable quest, we have to resort to "Interact" which is a one-time best effort attempt. If it doesn't work, Buddy Wing assumes it's been done and moves on anyway (which is not good in this case). Destroying the supply boxes to get to the bonus boss is hard to do for this same reason.

 

Ah understood! I really appreciate you taking the time you've put into this. I will attempt to make more flashpoints that do not require much interaction.

If there is anyone out there who know of Imperial or Republic profiles that do NOT require much interaction, let me know and I will make some. It may require manual work but it will be 90% automative.

 

Thats a piece of dirty code which only Works everything goes according to plan.
But from my experience that will not be the case.
If the bot craps out or you enter zones twice, or an entire zone is 1 instance... Good luck.
Well aevitas wasn't negative on fp quests adding, but I think he got to much on his plate right now with other bots.

 

I would recommend you start out much simpler. The Flashpoints have been attempted before, and they're basically a lost cause. The community NEEDS questing profiles badly, so if you're eager to write some stuff we'd love to see profiles like silentfu's Shadow of Revan profile. It'd also be a good way for you to figure out the intricacies of questing profiles so you can put that experience to work making FP profiles later on.

Just a suggestion, I'm excited to see whatever you turn out.

 

That would be totally awesome an so much needed as alltrueist said. Even the leveling 1-65 quest lines needs a lot of love and re-writing. I tried leveling a new DvL character recently and was trying to edit existing profiles with not much luck haha.
Silentfu's Shadow of Revan is an all-time epic classic, and he should be paid by Bossland to make more profiles for Buddywing - I wish...
(Not negating the hard work and effort done by every and all contributors to this forum. My hat off to all of you!)

 

But I like dirty...oh...
Thank you once again for explaining and the time you took to explain it all to Orlok as well. Heck even I started to understand some of it - or at least I THOUGHT I did until I tried writing/editing a profile hahaha oh well, we can't all be wizards I guess.

 

Well I can enlighten more, but only if there is a need for it.
Like I said, I stopped my work at rewriting, as the new expansions require new quest windows support.
For old there is bugs like transport, vendor. It really needs to be updated if anyone tries this.

 

Forget the new expansions, I'd just love a 1-50 class quest profile. With the XP gear from DvL, I can level just by class quests. OR even just a profile that does all the heroics on a given planet would be awesome. My bot doesn't usually crash unless I switch planets.

 

Its nice and all, but the biggest downer now is that conversation doesnt work with light / dark gain.
If that was fixed along with transport, all old profiles would run. They only had to be rewritten to class profiles.

 

Aevitas check my log @ https://www.thebuddyforum.com/buddy-wing-forum/249810-code-door-creating-public-fp-profiles.html

 

What do you mean about the conversation? Silentfu's SoR profile worked fine, minus a few hiccups.

The transport issue is still big though, no doubt about that. Might have to code a stop-profile dialogue box like he did with the Flashpoints every time we use a transport.

 

This one: https://github.com/BosslandGmbH/BuddyWing/issues/11
Which sadly affects every class quest with allignment gain.

Dialogue boxes are nice, but that isnt the solution people want. People want autonomous profiles.
If you still need to be present, you're better off playing by hand.
