Newbie Question(s) - My Profile (xml) walks from start to finish! why?

[dvadam63]

hello, I am not sure were to write this post and so this looked like a good place to start.

I wrote a profile that I assume I would use with GrindBot and all it does is find brineshell snapper and kill/loot/skin then.

the problem is from almost anywhere in the game it will mount on my flying mount and WALK to the location. what is that all about? see below...

Hi, Dvadam63,

The Grindbot only knows how to use a ground mount. If you select a flying mount, it will only use it in 'ground mode'.

Honorbuddy does not fly natively (yet). You can find more information about it here:

HelpDesk: Honorbuddy and flying​

So, your two choices are to:

• Turn on the 'beta feature' of "Use Native Flying"
  If it works for your purposes keep that setting while grinding.
  
  
• Convert the grinding profile to a questing profile.
  Questing is a superset of grinding. With questing, you can issue the necessary FlyTo directives to accomplish your goal.

In the future, this type of question probably belongs in the Developer's forum.

cheers & good luck with your project!
