Guide / Helper for Quest Profiles

[paxxx]

Hi all,

I' m interested into questing profiles,
but i am wondering if everyone is typing the whole code manually?
<objective questname="Weapons of Mass Dysfunction" questid="26294" type="UserDefined" count="1" id="0"><quest id="27517" name="Be Prepared"><objective type="CollectItem" itemid="61321" collectcount="6"><hotspots><hotspot x="-9393.73" y="-1479.737" z="-170.9103"><if condition="((HasQuest(26997)) && (!IsQuestCompleted(26997)))"><custombehavior file="InteractWith" questid="26997" npcid="29152" numoftimes="4" waittime="1000" collectiondistance="200" x="-8470.37" y="1218.456" z="5.147138"> <custombehavior file="FlyTo" x="-8064.849" y="816.5337" z="67.15341">
Is there any guide online which explains how it would be clever to start with?
Or any tool which gives you some code already?

Thanks

start off with cowdude's questing profile maker ... and assemble the killcount / collectcount quests for easy zones. Then after that, try interactwith / useitemon / castspellon quests

ok and what about such things, if conditions,
custombehaviors... they are all manually "customized" for each quest?
whoa.. than thats more work than i thought...

<If Condition="((HasQuest(27922)) &amp;&amp; (!IsQuestCompleted(27922)))" >
                <CustomBehavior File="SetPullDistance" Distance="1" />
                <CustomBehavior File="FlyTo" X="-10981.35" Y="-1358.778" Z="47.25735" />
                <CustomBehavior File="FlyTo" X="-10966.13" Y="-1378.948" Z="35.53022" />
                <CustomBehavior File="ForcedDismount" QuestId="0" MountType="Any" />
                <CustomBehavior File="InteractWith" QuestId="27922" ObjectType="Gameobject" NpcId="206579" NumOfTimes="1" CollectionDistance="50" X="-10966.13" Y="-1378.948" Z="35.53022" />
                <CustomBehavior File="WaitTimer" WaitTime="30000"/>

yes. set pull distance is so that the bot doesn't pull while trying to fly (in high agro areas) and other various quest issues with agro. forced dismount dismounts... interactwith gameobject loots an item on the ground usually, and waittimer longer than 5 seconds is generally waiting for an npc to talk or do something, or if it's cata - then maybe a cutscene or on a vehicle somewhere

it is slightly complex and takes a while to learn and implement.

here's what I use (currently) for most of my quests. It doesn't have every example, but it has the most common ones that I use. do note that some still require the XYZ /> at the end

Thanks for that useful overview - will use that for sure.

Anyway, I hope you are developing a "neutral" Twilight Highlands questing profile - as I'm not sure if I can handle that...

not any time soon
