Long story short, someone asked me (No idea why) to get a cannon working.

How do I do this?

Get in cannon
Stay in cannon till you get taken out (The quest automatically ejects you)
Continue with profile

So far I have:

PHP: 
<PickUp QuestName="Troggish Troubles" QuestId="27789" GiverName="Dr. Hieronymus Blam" GiverId="46664" />
		<CustomBehavior File="MountVehOnly" MobMountId="46707" />
		<CustomBehavior File="WaitTimer" WaitTime="60000" />

But, I don't like placing a timer in something that has a variable time (could be 5 seconds, could be 10 minutes), so, how do I do:

while(inCannon) {Do nothing}?
 
You do know you need to shoot the troggs right :p?

Bot does that for you if the bot is told it needs to... and it only does it as well as it's told to (and if I'm correct, that needs a custom behavior to do it). In Megser's Azenius project, when my toon did that quest, it had zero problems with the first couple of rounds, but the last 2 it struggled with. For me it got through the next to last one on the 2nd attempt but on the last round I gave it 3-4 attempts and the 'firing widly in a circle' just didn't clear them. I stopped the bot and completed that round myself by shooting at the closer targets and those that I could take out in clumps and timing my AOE bursts.

Yup, it's a bit fiddly. I'm going to be screwing that zone over and going to Felwood instead. I want it to be as afk-able as possible and you can't AFK it in Blasted Lands, there's so much shit.
 
How do I explain this? It works FINE WITH THE DELAY TIMER, BUT, I DON'T LIKE VARIABLE TIMES ON SOMETHING THAT CAN CHANGE. I want to check if it's in a vehicle.

You can't place that in a condition as far as I know. You need either a plugin or behavior, this is what I use in my plugin I believe. Not sure.

!InVehicle <--- means if I'm not in vehicle, do this and yadda yadda, go explore in plugins / behaviors.

Don't ask for help, then tell someone else to do it. Thats just rude.

Lastly; check the Lua API for (I think) UnitInVehicle. Just search for "Vehicle" and you'll find it. We may have it wrapped already in HB, not 100% sure.
