How to write a profile for special boss mechanics

[fandig2]

Hello, for fun i started writing a profile for Blackwing Descent using the questing botbase.
I'm now stuck on the Maloriak boss, I need the bot to do lower dps (I guess i can use wait timers?) and the bot may NOT interupt a certain ability, I'm not sure how to do that.

Bonus question: Is it possible for the bot to know if you are thrown up in the air and use anti-falling damage abilities such as disengage right before landing?

Thanks in advance

Combat logic is controlled outside of the profile.
So in order to customize how it behaves, you would have to completely disable it and write your own combat logic into the profile.
You could do this with RunCode pretty easy. But it can get messy.


For the falling code, you could use DoWhen to monitor the boolean property: Me.IsFalling and have the DoWhen activate when it returns true.
eg:

<CustomBehavior File="Hooks\DoWhen" ActivityName="FallDetect" AllowUseDuringCombat="true" UseWhen="Me.IsFalling &amp;&amp; !Me.HasAura(130)" >
	<CustomBehavior File="RunCode" Code="SpellManager.Cast(130); await Coroutine.Wait(1500, () => Me.HasAura(130));" />
</CustomBehavior>

This DoWhen will activate when your player is falling, and you lack the aura 130 (Slow Fall)
When it activates, it casts 130 (Slow Fall) on your player.

For doing Disengage, it can be a bit more tricky since you need to know the player's Z coordinate in correlation to the ground Z coordinate.
I think there is a property in the API that calculates the ground Z coordinate, but I don't know it atm.

Thank you for the answers, everything I have learned so far is by looking at other peoples profiles

is there a reference link that has all the commands?
