Gathering Range

[goldknight]

Anyone to bump up the resource gathering range for the DefaultCombat routine, or is it hardcoded in the buddywing source?

Thanks!

 

[goldknight]

Can anyone just provide me the class that does node gathering?

Maybe you can find what you are looking for here?

Could you do us the favor and post your solution? I am also trying to figure that out at the moment

 

[goldknight]

Sorry I had no luck figuring it out, I can use Visual Studio, and update routines etc. But I cannot figure out how to debug/open the core buddywing code in visual studio to modify it. I assume its compiled and they don't let people into the main program.

Thats a bit of a no-brainer, that You can get into BW core.
Didn't you find anything in the API, so you can set it via plugin or profile?

Nope, I'm a novice developer, I reviewed all the documented API, but cant figure how to override the buddywing default gather settings. /shurg

Why do you want to override it? And what do you mean by gathering? Harvesting nodes or corpses?

I want to override the distance at which buddy interacts with crew skills gathering nodes. Currently I think the character has to be within 1m or 2m for the interact to fire-off, I'd like to increase that to 5m.
I think the class is below, I assume there is some logic in the tick for scanning for gathering nodes, then moving to the node, then interacting with node at X distance. Can I define that distance in my routine, or is it statically coded?

There is a distance property in this class.

I am using default combat routine, with enhancement modifications I've made.

 

[pindleskin]

Why from 1-2m to 5m? doesn't it reach the node for you? Personally haven't seen any isues with the profiles I run.

I know for example with opening chests you need to be pretty close. Told Aevitas to lower the range awhile ago and its working perfectly now. Opens everytime. Before that most of the times didn't work.
For sure the distance is coded somewhere in BW and not in routine. If you can override it inside a routine - that I don't know...

 

[goldknight]

Yea it works really well as is, no question!

There are few nodes in my profile that it cannot get close enough to interact. So I guess I am using this as a learning opportunity for myself, to understand how to override a function, and use my own.

BW not broking, gather works really good, I just wanna tweak it.

So is there any solution how to increase range for gathering?

Bump. Has anyone figured this out yet?

<PullDistance>3</PullDistance>

Have you tried changing the pull distance? Maybe the gathering pulse gets it's range from there. It would be in the character settings xml

I have tried that, but all it does for me is making my character more aggressive by pulling mobs when it comes close to them :/

 

[Logandros]

I kind of figured that, this thread is so old I'm not sure how many people have exhausted themselves trying to figure it out or get an option added. I guess we can consider this a bump but probably low on the priority list since the range now is OK.

 

[Rodrigo el Flamingo]

I'm surprised that there isn't an option to change the resource gathering distance in the first place, considering that you can change the distance at which your character will engage in combat with mobs. It feels like it shouldn't be too hard to do, but maybe it is, I don't know.
If I knew how I could do it myself, then I would.
