Detect Actor Death (Unique Boss)

[WiN]

Is there any way to detect if an Actor has been killed (without using the bounty confirmation as an indicator)? We look for the Actor - find him - then begin combat - but how do we know when he is dead?

<If condition="ActorExistsAt(255704, Me.Position.X, Me.Position.Y, Me.Position.Z, 300)">
<LogMessage questId="1" stepId="1" output="---------- Found ----------" />
<MoveTo questId="1" actorId="255704" pathPrecision="25" />
<ToggleTargeting questId="1" combat="True" looting="True" lootRadius="300" killRadius="0"/>

If you move more than 300 away from the Actor now then it thinks the actor is dead?

Is there a way to read the "XXX has killed <Name of Unique Boss>"?

No as far as I know. And this part of code taken from KeyHunter works quite well, so whats the matter?

The DH vaults around and kites too far away from the KeyWardens - then town portals out thinking it is dead. I was looking for a solution which was more definitive than actorexists.

Well i have no idea. But maybe you can experiment with increasing the 300?.

The Object disappears when you go out of range, and (mostly) disappears after death. Not sure if its a Diablo feature, but some objects remain even when the actor is dead, so detecting death can be tricky in a botting sense. The only solution I see is with a plugin, that you can use to add a Treehook to move to the object you're interested in if your range from the object is > 50 yards for example. That way we can detect the object, stay within 50 yards, and if the object disappears or goes below a hitpoint threshold, we can detect death reliably.

I've been trying to discuss about that in another thread https://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonbuddy-forum/plugins/trinity/179015-check-special-engage-kill.html

I have asked nesox for access to the chat log system messages "xx has killed yy" - he said its probably possible, i think that its the only reliable way to know if something died. Although getting him to actually do it might require a lot more harassment.
