Bot Constantly Gets Stuck Putting things in Stash - Happening to Anyone Else?
- Thread starter AlmightyXii
- Start date
Beta #738 is now building that should address 1/2 of the problem. (#737 contained debugging code that breaks the bot by accident!)
The Poi code that was rewritten would move the bot into range of portals to ensure it could find the portal and then interact with it. On my resolution, I didn't have interaction issues unless I purposefully moved the character to a place I knew was going to have an issue. However, for smaller resolutions, the portal would just be out of range. When I was retesting earlier in the thread, my portals were spawning in a position that wouldn't cause problems, but after playing with getting them to spawn in more random locations (take area transition into town rather than the portal) I could see the potential issue.
Now, the bot will move towards the portal area, and then move to the portal itself before interacting.
However, that leads to the second 1/2 of the problem you are having. I didn't even realize it was happening until I was looking at your screenshot and noticed you don't have gui labels on.
As it turns out, our code seems to break in several places when they are disabled. I retested normally like I did before with them off, and the bot simply wouldn't take the portal at all. Upon enabling the debugging cursor, I saw why. For now, please hit the Z key or enable the "Always Highlight" in game so the bot can find the entity to interact with correctly. We need to rewrite some of the core code to address this issue, I thought it used to work properly, but now it seems it doesn't anymore.
I always play/test with those gui labels on, so that's why I never had a lot of the issues other users have been reporting, but now I know.

K so I just downloaded and tested 737 without seeing your message. I got a new bug, it wouldnt enter the portal to go to town... so I came here, saw your post and thought to myself "Oh, its broken".... so then I saw you say to turn on highlight, did that, ran the bot, and voila it went into the portal ran around town to sell the shit, stashed, then made it back in to the portal!! WOOT! First time in a long time.
So I'll wait for 738 and do another full test. Also, is there a key file I can copy over so I don't have to reenter it everytime I use a new beta version, and which files to I gotta copy over for the settings... i copied my whole "settings" folder from 36 into 37 and it seemed to do almost nothing, maybe that's part of whats broken with that version. Anyway, I'll give it all a go with 38.

Ok, just tested. All working perfect. It went to town, sold, stashed, and got right back into the portal.

Great! Thank you for your patience and helping us track down the issue! We'll be working on a better fix for the long term, but I'll just add that to the bot notes thread for others who have a similar issue.
Edit: For your key, I don't think so. I just copy and paste mine from a text file I keep on my desktop.
