Grind Profile Writing Question

[Terokan]

I've a Question about the profile writing in Honorbuddy.

This is a section of my Grindprofile:

  <SubProfile> <!-- 15-20 Silberwald -->
    <Name>15-20 Silverpine Forest</Name>
    <MinLevel>15</MinLevel>
    <MaxLevel>20</MaxLevel>
    <GrindArea>
      <Factions>14</Factions>
      <MaxDistance>75</MaxDistance>
      <Hotspots>
	  <Hotspot X="-519.7474" Y="1425.949" Z="18.88469" />
		<Hotspot X="-520.0047" Y="1641.253" Z="15.09582" />
		<Hotspot X="-569.3898" Y="1635.918" Z="13.78395" />
		<Hotspot X="-551.5565" Y="1502.405" Z="15.81357" />
      </Hotspots>
    </GrindArea>
    <Vendors>
		<Vendor Name="Harris Franklin" Entry="51709" Type="Food" X="-140.5608" Y="1292.561" Z="49.75541" />
    </Vendors>
    <Mailboxes>
      <Mailbox X="1079.098" Y="1586.566" Z="27.70103" />
    </Mailboxes>
  </SubProfile>
  
  <SubProfile> <!-- 20-25 Vorgebirge des H?gellands -->
    <Name>20-25 Hillsbrad Foothills</Name>
    <MinLevel>20</MinLevel>
    <MaxLevel>25</MaxLevel>
    <GrindArea>
      <Factions>74</Factions>
      <MaxDistance>75</MaxDistance>
      <Hotspots>
		<Hotspot X="-1003.502" Y="-779.9885" Z="8.038558" />
		<Hotspot X="-1152.096" Y="-838.3924" Z="6.281461" />
		<Hotspot X="-1302.551" Y="-1045.011" Z="18.23154" />
      </Hotspots>
    </GrindArea>
    <Vendors>
      <Vendor Name="Ott" Entry="3539" Type="Repair" X="-59.941" Y="-954.156" Z="54.28916" />
	  <Vendor Name="Christoph Jeffkott" Entry="2393" Type="Repair" X="-67.41362" Y="-946.8035" Z="55.08793" />
    </Vendors>
    <Mailboxes>
      <Mailbox X="-41.44055" Y="-913.5975" Z="55.67748" />
    </Mailboxes>
  </SubProfile>

Is there a chance to insert a code line, which describes or lead the profil to another subprofil. Just like the connection between 2 profiles.
It bugs me a little that Honor Buddy searchs automatically. It gets stuck or stops comletly.
If i remember correctly, in PvPTool-Profiles are such connections or code lines. (e. g. Vendorpath)

I would be glad about an answer.

P.S.: Please exuse my bad english. =)

Honorbuddy transitions between subprofiles based sololy on how the toon's level maps into the MinLevel and MaxLevel of the SubProfile. As you've correctly established in your example above, the SubProfiles should not have level overlaps.

You can get complete control over a Grinding profile by converting your Grinding profile to a Questing profile and using <SetGrindArea> and <GrindTo Condition="...">. You can find documentation and examples for these tags in our Wiki. By doing this, you can accomplish just about anything you desire.

SubProfiles and Grinding Profiles are really a concept whose time has long passed. If I had my way, I'd get rid of the concept of "Grinding Profile" entirely, and convert everything to a Questing profile that uses grinding areas. There is so much more control for a profile writer by doing that.

I would appreciate an example or such, because i dont really get. Maybe im just stuck inside the code of the "subprofiles/grinding Profiles". Im grateful if you could show me something more precise.

				<SetGrindArea>
					 <GrindArea> <!-- Near Goldshire / SW -->
						<Factions>38</Factions> <!-- [Wolf] -->
						<TargetMinLevel>1</TargetMinLevel> 
						<TargetMaxLevel>10</TargetMaxLevel> 
						<Hotspots>      
<!-- hotspots here -->
						</Hotspots> 
					</GrindArea>  
				</SetGrindArea>
			<GrindTo Condition="Me.GetSkill(Styx.SkillLine.Skinning).CurrentValue &gt;= 30" />

This is set to grind to skinning skill 30 (or higher). you can also change it to GrindTo Level 10 if you like
