Help With Creating Profiles

[dbalfour]

Hey guys,

I am new to the whole profile stuff and trying to make a profile to farm Iron Ore at Copperbell Mines Entrance.

I have wrote this thing following the guide but I am not quite sure about how it acctually works...so I have no idea why it aint working haha.

It is telporting correctly but after that it just stands still.

Hope someone can help .

Welcome to the world of self reliance

dbalfour,

I took a look at your profile and notice one possibly two issues so let's break it down:

Everything looks great till your hotspots section:

   <Hotspots>
             <HotSpots Radius="80" X="302.21347" Y="0" Z="-223.256577" name="Iron Ore" />
   </Hotspots>

You define your list of HotSpots with the <Hotspots> tag and then you use "<HotSpots Radius..." Which should be:

     <HotSpots>
          <HotSpot Radius="95" XYZ="288.9167, 62.34205, -218.6282" />
     </HotSpots>

Notice <HotSpots> and defining the spot with <HotSpot Radius..." Tweaked your coords too that spot might miss one of the deposits near the gate in.

After defining the spot we move onto what it is we want to farm in your code:

   <ItemNames>
     <ItemName></ItemName>
     <ItemName>Iron Ore</ItemName>
   </ItemNames>

Nothing wrong with using item names however a blank set may or may not cause issues, I prefer using slot when im farming one particular item because it is only one set of tags instead of one nested set so you could replace that whole block with:

<Slot>2</Slot>

That is the only issues I see, more then likely it is the <HotSpots Radius call that is causing the issue but keep it up and you'll be cranking out your own profiles for all the goodies you want to gather.

In case you wonder here is my Iron Ore profile for the same location:

<Profile>
    <Name>Mining: Iron Ore</Name>
    <KillRadius>50</KillRadius>
    <Order>

		<If Condition="not IsOnMap(140)">
			<TeleportTo Name="Horizon" AetheryteId="17" />
		</If>
			<Gather while="True">
				<GatherObject>Mineral Deposit</GatherObject>
				<HotSpots>
				   <HotSpot Radius="95" XYZ="288.9167, 62.34205, -218.6282" />
				</HotSpots>
				<Slot>2</Slot>
				<GatheringSkillOrder>
					<GatheringSkill SpellName="Sharp Vision I" TimesToCast="1" />
				</GatheringSkillOrder>
			</Gather>
	</Order>
</Profile>

There's a known issue with the profile creator that always gives the Y of the coords as 0. Get the coords from the bot itself.
