[N - Skinning Stone Drake - Deepholm] - Grinding Bot.

Yes, can someone PLEASE fix the targeting problem on this profile, please?

 

I really like this profile, but I found a problem: every now and then there seems to be a targeting malfunction. I have set my pull range to 20 and pull with Fairy Fire (Feral), which has a range of 30. That should give no errors, I think (though I'm new to botting and might be wrong).
The thing is every now and then I get the message:
"MoveToTarget: Could not generate path to target: Stone Drake, blacklisting!"
Which results in a growing number of drakes being ignored. after over half an hour there were about 8 drakes on the ground, my char would walk through them and not attack them. Kind of obvious if someone would walk by
I have no real programming skills myself, or I would have taken a look at it, so maybe someone else could see if this is fixable or not?

 

The problem seems to be the drakes themself, they fly, you can't reach and they get blacklisted.

After some time they crash again BUT they are still blacklisted...we would need a plugin that resets the blacklist every now and then (30-60s i guess)

 

^This

Did a profile for these little dragon and after 5minutes of running, all were blacklisted and I had to retart.

 

I found out that already-dead drakes are skinnable, but they aren't: you can only skin the drakes you kill. I think this is due to them being killed by other NPCs, but this makes the profile useless, as the grind bot won't move away from the false dead targets.

 

Set the NINJA option OFF. This way, it won't try to skin other dead dragons. Just FYI, i'm using it with a retro paladin, and it works great. The profile itself has nothing to do with targeting, that is something HB handles. The profiles are just a bunch of hotspots, blackspots and vendor/mail spots. Nothing else. It doesn't handle target or combat.
Try with a melee class and a good CC. I'm using FPSWARE paladin, and last night i got 300+ savage leather and 120 scales.

 

This is incorrect, the dragons never get killed by NPCs, they just make them crash.

If you can't skin them some other player didn't loot in the first place and the dragon will get black listed after a few seconds...

And the CC doesn't change the problem with the dragons taking off and getting blacklisted, melee or ranged shouldn't really matter.

 

There is only one and it's towards the tall cliff and it's a giant rock NPC that attacks one dragon and usually kills it.

 

I wrote that as I saw it... it's not like I'm starting trolling a forum just to write something O.?

There are actually 2 drakes that do not de-spawn with the skin pointer. I'm starting thinking it's just a bad bot that caused them not do despawn (I saw bots running for ore nodes too leaving them spawned but un-minable). I'll see at server restart this night.

 

any chance to aggro more mobs then 1 at the same time ? 2-3 would be fine

 

Sorry guys I am not on much and this was my first profile I tossed together. I am actually trying to learn some of the cc coding and have been busy with work as well. I am kind of Leary to dive into a bunch of big time consuming projects if something happens and HB has to quit what they do. once I know they can stay in business as I so hope they win. Ill be all over this stuff. most of the behaviors are Custom Class related, like one user said its just a bunch of hot spots and the settings are really up to the individual. I can black List any of the NPC'S which I think I did if you aren't honored with threzane(sp?) I actually pulled a few on accident and it's not AFK because its a high traffic area. Babysit the bot or do it when no one is around for a long time.

Cheers

The targeting problem isn't in the profile. That is your toon and something in HB settings.

 

You get set how much time has to lapse before they are black listed. If you have it at only a few seconds then they all will get Blacklisted.

 

Only true if the NPC does more than 75% of the kill in my exp, when these drop they are at 40% and I have no problem killing and looted and skinning. Maybe they were killed by another player because I don't see many of those drakes dead from the NPC's there. As far as another player, you can skin drakes that are killed by other IF .. IF and only IF they are looted. A lot of times the opposing faction see's you skinning and leaves trash on the drake.. SO you can't skin it. Hold your mouse of the kill if you see the leather piece it will be skinnable if not.. they didn't clear out the loot.

 

another profile that simply will not work for me

run's around like a lunatic, aggroing any mob and elites, the only time it did attack a mob it didn't skin it.

Spent 30minutes trying different cc's, different pull options, skin options etc... yet the TH skinning profile works brilliantly, but it's highly populated on my realm (earns 3k p/h).

EDIT: it finally kicked into action, happily skinning the drakes, seemed to work after I removed all codes from mount/food/drink fields :s

 

damn too many blacklisting, where can we turn it off or adjust it ?

 

Works great. Thanks!
