Grinding profile template

[Rumpel]

Hi all... does anyone have a grinding profile template that one can use as a reference when building a farm area?

Thanks.

Hello!

Here's a very simple grind wrap:

<Profile Name="Grind Template" Author="EchoTiger" Version="1">
	<Grind Condition="true" >
		<CreatureIds>1, 2, 3, 4</CreatureIds>
		<Repair PreferClosest="true" >
			<RepairNPCs>
				<RepairNPC Name="Name Of NPC" CreatureId="ID Of NPC" X="..." Y="..." Z="..." MapId="..."  ExileFaction="true" />
			</RepairNPCs>
		<Repair>
		<Vendor>
			<Vendors>
				<VendorNPC Name="Name Of NPC" CreatureId="ID Of NPC" X="..." Y="..." Z="..." MapId="..."  ExileFaction="true" />
			</Vendors>
		</Vendor>
		<GrindArea>
			<Hotspot X="..." Y="..." Z="..." Timeout="750" Range="200" />
		</GrindArea>
	</Grind>
</Profile>

You can replace "true" with a condition that'll make the grind stop.
(ex: <Grind Condition="GameManager.LocalPlayer.Level &gt;= 21" > will make the grind stop once the player is level 21 or higher.)

PreferClosest="true" will make it prioritize the closet NPC on the list.

For ExileFaction="true", this is optional. I *think* if you don't put that there, it will assume either faction.

For Range="200" on the Hotspot, 200 is the 'assumed' max-distance the bot can detect the NPCs up to.
I typically just use 1 hotspot with the 200 range because that'll pretty much cover the entire area you're farming.
Of course you could also use more than one Hotspot with lower ranges set if you want to be more precise on the farm.

Timeout="750" is a time (in miliseconds) the bot will wait at the hotspot for before it'll go to the next.

Is there a complete loadable sample profile/xml that could be posted? I understand what's going on in the wrapper above, but I'm enough of a newbie to understand what other calls are needed in a complete file. Or if this is similar to other bot profiles, a sample from another game is fine too.

Just trying to wrap my head around this at the moment.

There's the Cheat Sheet on the Developer Forum, but it hasn't been updated in ages.
Alternatively, just like any other BuddyBot you could always use Visual Studio's ObjectBrowser on the Wildbuddy executable to expose everything.
