How to force bot to pick up items first instead of fighting mobs?

[frankbaozhu]

My bot is pretty immortal but he is seeking mobs relentlessly and sometimes forgets to pick up maps, items, currencies. Is there a way to set a priority for the bot the pick up stuff first?

Thanks!

In Release, you can't change this behavior. In Beta, you can change how the bot works with some code changes in the Routine you use.

For example, the Bot will enter Combat logic as soon as there is any combat target detected (Targeting.Combat.Targets.Any()). At this point, the bot now does what the routine tells it to. Before, the routine would move closer to the target, and then start to kill it. With the new setup, you can tell the bot you don't want to execute combat logic, and it'll continue on doing the remaining Pois in order, such as chests and looting.

The design is setup this way, because knowing when to loot or enter combat is highly circumstantial based on what is around you and your build. A squishy caster does not want to be running around packs of mobs looting when everything is not dead, while a tanky minion build probably could. Mobs in PoE can be quite dangerous, so you don't want to rush into looting or aggro more mobs than you have to typically, so we choose the design of combat first, loot later. The bot typically will make its way back to loot things its missed, unless it has blacklisted them or is traveling to another area.

If you're interested in playing with Beta, which is not done yet, but it's getting closer and closer to becoming the new Release, I can post some code examples of what you could do. However, Beta does work differently than Release, so for now, I'm not sure if this is what you want.

before making beta the new release make sure its as stable as the release(and as easy to use), the release work pretty fine for me right now and i like it alot, all it miss is map and sacrifice piece farming support. and i was wondering if when the beta will be the release will we be able to copy/past our pick it file or we will need to recreate our own?

Beta is available for testing right now, and has been for the duration of the new implementation. As 1.2 approaches, we'll make a harder push to motivate people to try it and test it before it is made Release. However, I would suggest checking it out sooner and leaving feedback.

The item filters are the exact same, so you'll be able to copy yours over.

thank you guys. I just check it out, but maps are still not supported. So i stay with the old one for now.

Will definitely buy additional keys when maps are supported!

i tried beta and couldnt make it work, it reach area to farm but does nothing, dont cast aura, dont walk, dont attack, i dont know what i need to configure to make it work, i only use 1 skill (glacial hammer so it shouldnt be to complex for bot to use it ) and when i touched the pick it editor a massive red text appeared on the log, i just checked and unchecked some stuff.And awesome news for the pick it filter because mine is pretty big and long to redo

Apparently you are jumping the gun and did not read.
Please read how the beta works again and post. What you just said about it when you run the beta is exactly what it's suppose to do unless you have your own explore routine or cr. And the farming for the sacrifice/map module is working as intended for me (custom plugin i'm not sharing).

what you mean is exemplebot and exempleroutine arent set yet and i need to create 1 to make it work? (wich i cant create myself) I think ill stick with release till a routine is created. i cant wait to farm map and sacrifice piece with this.

Beta is for developers ( not many atm, but soon many) to make plugins and etc, so when the beta becomes release, we have said plugins, etc to use instead of not many to use.

Beta is now also usable for non-devs, but I didn't update the title of the thread. There's a lot of forum info updates that need to be done, but for now time is better spent working on improving the Beta than trying to keep all the info up to date to the current Beta version.

There's no full guide on using the new bot/routine yet because it's still under development, but it does indeed work.

Simply go to Settings -> Exilebuddybot to configure the bot first.

Then, go to Settings -> ExilebuddyRoutine to configure the routine.

You can hover over text labels to get a tooltip for what the options are.

Please use the Beta thread and you can report any errors or things that aren't clear, that's why it's there. It's far better to try to get your stuff updated sooner than later, because Beta will be the new Release within a few months. I'd have to see your error log and your pickit filter as to why it errors out, but if you get the info to me, I can look at fixing it if something does need to be changed (although it probably shouldn't)
