[Plugin] Stop dumb zig-zagging as you head towards a node.

Did a mistake in coding, so it only worked for herbs. I fixed the mistake and now it should work fine for herbs, minerals and both.

Got the best results when, I put the radius on 10.

 

Using this ^ with randomBuddy to gather ~ 1h/day just to keep my habits a float And it works like a charm this plugin!

Cheers Pasterke and Crowley!

 

Gui update on first page. StopZigZag_v4.zip (7.4 KB) thanks to Pasterke

 

sounds great. gonna try it today.

 

This ,plus now if i can just find something to prevent the Zigzags.....when Leaving the Node,most of my issues would be solved.

 

Maybe im doing something wrong, the char is dismounting near nodes, dont loot and mount - dismount - mount - dismount, it looks crazy..

 

You have to use it with Gatherbuddy2 ofc ^^

Be sure to activate what you want to harvest.

Bot Config -> Gather -> check Mining or Herbing or both.

This plugin only changes the behavior how you approach a node, Gatherbuddy does the work.

 

Thats a Blizzard bug that shows up after patch 5.3. Ofc we can add an option to walk away from the node x numbers of yards, but's that tricky. If you stand on the edge of a height ......

Once you harvest the node then Gatherbuddy takes it over again. This plugin don't gather, it only change the behavior to approach a node.

 

yeah mate im using GB2 and selected both to harvest, in the plugin gui i have selected bot too. :S

 

I use my druid for farming mainly because of Swift Flight Form being instant and makes farming just a hair faster. But sometimes the node doesnt disappear fast enough and when it goes into flight form, it dismounts again thinking its still next to a node (technicaly it is) so the walking way idea, even just like 10 yards would be a fantastic idea. Or maybe a 1 sec pause before mounting again. giving it time for the node to disappear.

 

Yeah, this *could* be done but then negates the reason for using a drood which is...speed One of the many reasons i use a DK/Pally for Gathering. Its just...easier. Now, if HB worked the way it should i would be all over a drood.

Also the walking away/zig-zag while leaving leaving nodes things. Pasterke is correct, ofc And Mayvane make sure you have auto-loot turned on in wow itself. Other than that i can't recreate the issue so no idea what the problem is

 

Please try Beta 329 and see if it fixes the need for this plugin, landing&unstuck have been worked on

 

Anyone having that issue where it mounts and dismounts on a continuous loop?

 

A couple of people have said they have this issue. Have you tried the latest builds, release and beta, without the plugin? Laria said the plugin might be redundant now. Don't have a char to test with myself atm.

 

I'm currently running the latest build, and a clean install was attempted with no success.

I will try beta and tell you how it goes.

 

This plugin is still needed even with the latest HB.
I recently got a 72 hour suspension after only running GB2 for about 3 hours. I was running randombuddy, and PlayerReportDetector. I had 3 people target me (which most likely means they reported me) and all 3 times corresponds to the timestamps where the bot was doing the zig-zag thing.
I've also noticed while farming that it still has a lot of issues landing near nodes at rocks and stuff, so it's not fixed in latest version imo.

 

I also have the problem where the plugin reaches the node, dismounts and immediately mounts again just to dismount again then proceeds to gather, it is not a infinite loop for me but it's still no good like that.

 

fixed ?

 

Love the dismount function but got the loop aswell :/

 

Loop happens sometimes when you are still close to a node. try lowering the distance. Make sure its set to just mine or just herb too if you dont have double gathering.
