Help with quest creation profile

[22diehard22]

What the issue is: I am trying to get the bot to use an item on a NPC for the specific Lazy Peons

What I have tried, I have tried making it go to the peons location VIA hot spot, I have tried the collect tag, Didnt think it would work this way and not sure what id's or what not to use to get this to work.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated **Creating a 1-60 horde questing profile** So More help on that the more you guys will gain

        <PickUp QuestName="Lazy Peons" QuestId="25134" GiverName="Foreman Thazz'ril" GiverId="11378" />
            <UseItem ItemId="16114" QuestName="Lazy Peons" QuestId="25134"
                        TargetID="10556 TargetType="Npc"
                        X="-227.164" Y="-4277.985" Z="65.27567" />

The profile fragment you show looks good.

There is an open Bugtracker #378 that calls out <UseItem> as not working correctly--even in the latest HB 2.0.0.3582. I would definitely append your quest to this existing bug report.

For this particular quest, I can't see how to work-around the problem by rewriting the profile using other mechanisms. I don't see any existing, published CustomBehavior that could be used, either.

Sorry for the bad news,
CJ

Yeah.. IT slightly works.. It doesnt check if it actually USED the item it will run to the location and attempt to beat the lazy peon but if the peon isnt sleeping yet it will think it actually did it and run off to the next location

Hi I am currently writing a profile, may I ask what does X="-227.164" Y="-4277.985" Z="65.27567 represent in the useitem string?

***Edit***

Ah nvm I found it on Wiki.

Ah, that is a completely different story then!

The <UseItem> is working as designed. What's missing is that <UseItem> was not designed to wait for the target to be in a particular state before using it.

You're going to need a <CustomBehavior>, or play a statistics game (and keep visiting the mobs in the area until you get what you need) to make this happen.

cheers,
CJ
