Flagging Issues with PVP on PVE server, Tethers issues, Mob Flagging/Targeting Issues

[walter]

If the opposite faction switches to PVP Flag and I am unflagged I will attack them. This is only if they enter the zone and then flag PVP. I will just ignore mobs and shoot them. Had a player flag himself then it would just turn and auto shoot him nonstop around mobs. Throwing a red flag since I am NOT flagged for PVP.

Also if opposite faction is tethered (cc type) the bot will stop attacking. ( I will post logs later when I have better data)

People then realize you are a bot and that's kind of an issue.

If some one else is attacking the same mob you are the bot will just stop aggro and wait doing nothing. I need to find a log but will post one asap once I make it happen again.

For the PVP flag thing, I think this comes down to issues with PvE vs PvP servers. I can have it not attack *any* players if you yourself are not flagged. Is this happening with Grind tags? Or others? (If this happens only when in combat, that's also important, since the CR does not share the same targeting system that the bot does)

Opposite faction? You'll need to clarify a bit here. There's a chance that the bot is attempting to cast something to break the CC when it shouldn't be, and just getting "stuck". (This would come down to the CR, as the bot literally does nothing when in combat, it hands over all logic to the CR)

And as for the last one, again, you'll need to clarify a bit more.

Sorry after reading what I wrote seems I was all over the place.

I am grinding mobs in a set area. A player of the opposite faction comes up to me and is not flagged. I will not attack him at all. Then the player will flag himself and the bot will attack him even though I am currently flagged PVE. This happens while I am in combat attacking mobs then the player would flag himself running into mobs. Then I would just keep attacking that player nonstop.

When I am attacking mobs that some one else is attacking the bot will stop all attacks until those mobs are dead. This even happens if I tag the mobs first.

For tether the issue I am having is that when another player is tethered I will start attacking the enemies tether mine even though I can't damage it. Thus making me not kill the mobs around me .

Sorry for the wording before just yea .


Also do you have any insight on why the bot moves back and forth during grinding if the tagged mob in the hotspot moves while running to new location? It will back track and fourth looking kinda botty. Is this a routine issue or core logic?

I just fixed this. If you're not flagged for PVP, all players are just flat out ignored from the Grind tag's logic.

When I am attacking mobs that some one else is attacking the bot will stop all attacks until those mobs are dead. This even happens if I tag the mobs first.

This is an issue with the CR's targeting logic. I'll have to look into it.

For tether the issue I am having is that when another player is tethered I will start attacking the enemies tether mine even though I can't damage it. Thus making me not kill the mobs around me .

Again, an issue with targeting logic. I added a property not long ago which is basically "CanAttack". This may be the case with the tethers.

Also do you have any en-site on why the bot moves back and forth during grinding if the tagged mob in the hotspot moves while running to new location? It will back track and fourth looking kinda botty. Is this a routine issue or core logic?

1) Word is "insight"
2) I've never seen this happen, and by your explanation, it's still not clear exactly what you mean. Sorry if it's just me, but could you clarify just a little more?

I will record a video and PM to you. Just give me a day or so since I will just play 2 accounts to react it.

I will let you know if I have issues with a player again. I had some one report me last night and was talking to a GM in-game. After I messaged him asking how my class was he just left. Since we all know GMs are invisible in game.

Seems players notice how we would attack enemy tethers. Was just asking around .

Yea spelling isn't my strong suit also that early in the morning I don't know whats going on half the time before work ! No coffee no thinky

 

[walter]

Here is log where when a mob moves while grinding it loses the location and moves backwards then forwards again. Only happens if the mob is a moving mob it will throw object error. Seems something with targeting going to look at it in default routine. I also is it possible for default routine to have SVN I can access and update? I have a huge update for the routine that adds gadget use and few other tweaks.

This issue seems to happen once some one else also tags the mobs and is attacking them. We just stop attacking and then wait til they are finished killing mobs before moving to next hotspot.

Also if you have any insight on why it doesn't see the vendors when grinding and throws up errors even though I don't need repairs yet and inventory is not full. Only happens when grinding profiles.

Thanks

By default, the bot wants to go for a mail/vendor run when you have <= 3 open bag slots.

Also, it will try to repair if any of your equipment is <= 3% durability. (Martin seems to have muffed that setting value)

You can change both in the settings. (There is currently no UI binding for those settings)

As for the following lines:

I really can't figure out why it's doing this. It seems like the serializer isn't actually pulling in the vendor tags for some reason. I'll debug this tonight.[/COLOR]
