I created a plugin for managing a Party, you set the leader, and followers, and it will be sure that your party contains the members you selected, as well as only accepting invites from the selected leader. All finished, working and tested: Changelog: v0.0.1.0 - Made, buggy, poop, etc. v0.0.1.2 - Updated to use PartyMembersInfo ... still having issues... v0.0.1.5 - Working perfectly! Thanks to StormChasing for linking me to a better method of LUA for UnitName . v0.0.2.0 - Working Actually Perfectly. Added some extra checks for Party Sanity, and re-worked the logic a bit.

Awesome, now if someone picks it up and adds in the ability to use this in questing profiles (IE wait for party to complete quest/catch up/summon friends etc) that would be 1 step closer to a working RaF Bot.
Thanks man. I plan on testing this out later. Will update thread with results. Update: Code: Plugin from C:\Users\Public\Games\Honorbuddy\Plugins\PartyBuddy could not be compiled! Compiler errors: File: PartyBuddy.cs Line: 18 Error: Using the generic type 'System.Collections.Generic.List<T>' requires '1' type arguments File: PartyBuddy.cs Line: 20 Error: Using the generic type 'System.Collections.Generic.List<T>' requires '1' type arguments[\code] What am I doing wrong here? I modified the _followerList and _leaderName to reflect my party. But either way it won't compile for me. Am i using the wrong version of something?

just make Partymember1 (PM1) as yourself and then PM2 and so on and let the bot auto-find them if more than 2 people in party - assume group leader is the 'main' quester
It doesn't seem to matter what I have as my leader or party members, it always throws the same error when compiling. On 2 different machines. I am using the latest release of HB, in a new folder. Keeps telling me "Using the generic type 'System.Collections.Generic.List' requires '1' type arguments" on lines 18 and 20.
The Party Member list should not contain the Group Leader, only the people you wish to have in the party. The Leader should be listed seperately. On another note, I posted this in the Development section for the simple reason of laziness/lack of knowledge. I really have no intention to support it as I cannot make it work as I wish due to HB/WoW API Limitation. So, unless someone tells me how to get a Party Members Name, which is outside the ObjectManagers range, I have no intent on support it unfortunately .... :-\
I see the issue: _followerList = new List<string> {"player1", "player2", "player3", "player4"}; The forum is removing the < - >'s from my post .... stupid forum. Fixed OP.
That is what I use currently, and it does not contain a method for Name, and can only retrieve a WoWPlayer object within 100yds or less.
of course use lua for this part ... u can query the number of players in the party API GetNumPartyMembers - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft and after this u can do a for next loop and get your data with lua function UnitName("partyN") Where N is the number / index ... GetNumPartyMembers returns nil and 1 - 4 valid partyN: party1,party2,party3,party4 -> partyN excludes the player himself UnitName returns name, realm API UnitName - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft UnitId - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft
Thank you! I simply looked through the Party Functions Refrence, and never thought to look beyond. :-D Will post an update soon. Updated, and working Flawlessly now :-D.
Bah, still an issue of it leaving the Party before the other person accepts. Rewriting the party check logic.... Edit: There, that should do it, posted :-D.
