How do we now use HB as a KILLBOT ?

Yeah ^_^ I do this all the time for running instances when im bored, but with got wood =]

 

OK since i have a tendency to post my "instructions" a bit random i thought id do SOME good "for once" and help u out in one reply

HB 2.0 settings
pull distance: 1-2 depending on class
Use any profile
Loot urself
Right click with "click to move on" to attack targets, it will begin the rotation on its own.

press F1 when it tries to pull the random mob "noone likes a ninja puller"

PREFERABLY!!! If you got a Healing class look in ur CC to find your healing spells, "search through it" and sometimes it says "heal at x%" put it to 0 because it will look VERY weird if u heal when ur not healer.

Other then that there isnt any major errors that would occur. Exept if it tries to eat or drink, DO NOT move it, it will repeat the eat/drink thing until ur wow crashes.

*OH and ofc if you have any questions above that, i will edit THIS post with responses*

 

Just create a blank profile using any of the templates on the forum. Hotspots are just coordinates in a profile? That way the bot will kill whatever you select. I just walk around and right click where I want him to kill mobs and off he goes lol.

 

Surely if I use any profile with HB 2.0 the bot will plan a route and set off in the general direction of said profile?

Use something like this its all it needs

<HBProfile>
<Name>Null Profile</Name>
<MinLevel>1</MinLevel>
<MaxLevel>68</MaxLevel>
<MinDurability>.4</MinDurability>
<MinFreeBagSlots>2</MinFreeBagSlots>
<SellGrey>True</SellGrey>
<SellWhite>True</SellWhite>
<SellGreen>True</SellGreen>
<MailWhite>True</MailWhite>
<TargetMinLevel>1</TargetMinLevel>
<TargetMaxLevel>81</TargetMaxLevel>

</HBProfile>

 

Code:

<HBProfile>
 <Name>Null Profile</Name>
    <MinLevel>1</MinLevel>
    <MaxLevel>81</MaxLevel>
    <MinDurability>.1</MinDurability>
    <MinFreeBagSlots>1</MinFreeBagSlots>
    <SellGrey>False</SellGrey>
    <SellWhite>False</SellWhite>
    <SellGreen>False</SellGreen>
    <MailWhite>False</MailWhite>
    <TargetMinLevel>1</TargetMinLevel>
    <TargetMaxLevel>81</TargetMaxLevel> 

^ That one would work

 

HB kills fine now, I just want the ability to control it myself, a simple tickbox to enable/disable controlling movement would be sweet, don't really want to mess around with distances I would forget to change, or keys to hit.

I'll try the profile in the morning, thanks.

 

I disagree -

You need more control to not look like a total nubcake. LUAninja achieved this by basically being a macro, so unless you were hitting a key, it wouldn't be doing anything at all. You need this level of control with any killbot.

Unless you're in a fight where you have no responsibilities but to sit on the boss then it won't work. There are fights where you need to target an add and CC it. If I simply target it, as you suggest, it doesn't know to do anything but try to kill it. You can't expect the bot to know this, so the only option is to temporarily disable it. There are also fight phases where you maintain a target, but not DPS for various reasons. Again, you can't expect the bot to just know this.

Simplest option is to have a killswitch/pause. Just stopping the bot, as you can now, will not work. The bot takes too long to restart and often will crash. If I could hit a key on my keyboard and it was an instant "pause" and hit again for an instant "resume". That would be a good step in the right direction. One of the current issues seems to be with movement (see the raid healing got wood CC thread or the bost request for a movement enable/disable above this one). You need to be able to move without the bot stopping your manual movements so that it can cast a spell. Some of us already use the bot to raid heal and those phases where we need more manual control can be a huge problem at the moment. I think it might only need minor adjustments to the bot, then the CC creators can work their magic.

 

use HB 1 it still works well

 

I only ever thought of it been used for questing, nothing more, a switch would suffice for this as I would be completing the whole quests so maybe running around form 5 - 20 mins at a time with me controlling it.

 

I can confirm that this does work, and for what you want it sounds like it should be sufficient enough.

 

Thats profile works fine, only flaw is it often runs very close before attacking, would be nice to keep to 30 yds range for us squishes currently runs to 24 yds for some reason.

 

Set your pull distance on Bot Settings -> Level bot menu to 30.

 

DOH, had set it to 25 b4 and not changed it, thanks.

 

profile has stopped working for the new beta, "Object reference not set to an instance of an object", falls over then, must be some tags missing, reading to do.

EDIT, grindarea tag missing, works like a charm.

Would still like to see killbot as a dropdown on the menu, HB kills, you just pick the targets and control the movement.
