Placing pet

[gathel]

I'm trying to write a bit of code that would allow me to place a pet, and re-place the pet back there when it gets knocked away.

I can check where the pet is, I assume, by doing something like this:

            var pet = ff14bot.Managers.GameObjectManager.CurrentPet;
            if (pet == null)
                return;
            // use pet.Location

I can't seem to find a way to do something like this:

                ff14bot.Objects.Pet.DoAction("Place", location);
                // Pet.DoActionLocation("spell", location);

How can I place the pet somewhere? Thanks!

First, theres no need to include the namespaces.
GameObjectManager.CurrentPet;
Pet.DoAction("Place", location);
will work fine in most cases that are exposed to users, otherwise import the namespace.

Second, you can try doing
ActionManager.DoActionLocation
As Pet.* functions are just wrappers for that.

Thanks for the info. It doesn't seem to work for Place though, here's the code I've tried:

    public class RePlacer
    {
        private const string PlaceSpell = "Place";
        private readonly Logger _logger;
        public float MaxDistance = 3;

        public RePlacer(Logger logger)
        {
            _logger = logger;
        }

        public void Pulse()
        {
            PlacePet();
        }

        private void PlacePet()
        {
            var pet = GameObjectManager.CurrentPet;
            if (pet == null)
            {
                return;
            }

            var location = Location;
            if (location != Vector3.Zero)
            {
                var distance = location.Distance(pet.Location);
                if (distance > MaxDistance)
                {
                    _logger.Log("Pet is {0} away, moving it back to {1}.", distance, location);
                    if (!Actionmanager.CanCastLocation(PlaceSpell, location))
                    {
                        _logger.Log("Unable to cast place at {0}.", location);
                        return;
                    }
                    Actionmanager.DoActionLocation(PlaceSpell, location);
                }
            }
        }

        public Vector3 Location { get; set; }
    }

I've also tried to use the word, but with the same result:

        private const string PlaceSpell = "Place";

From the logs, it's obvious the spell is properly marked as not castable:

[00:13:14.981 N] [PetPlacer] Pet is 3.157768 away, moving it back to <69.01648, 25, 19.4552>.
[00:13:14.981 N] [PetPlacer] Unable to cast place at <69.01648, 25, 19.4552>.

I'm really close to the desired location, it's in LOS, and it's somewhere my pet was standing originally because the Location property is set with a button press based on the pet's location at the time.

I'm guessing at this point that Place isn't a spell/action in the traditional sense? I'm not sure. Would you be able to help me any further?

Thanks.

I'm not sure cancastlocation works properly with pet spells

Just in the console try running doactionlocation and pass the players current location.

 

[gathel]

Trying this doesn't do anything:

Actionmanager.DoActionLocation("Place", GameObjectManager.LocalPlayer.Location);

So I tried to embrace, which also doesn't do anything using Actionmanager:

Actionmanager.DoAction("Embrace", GameObjectManager.LocalPlayer);

Then to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong with the console, I did this.. and it worked:

Pet.DoAction("Embrace", GameObjectManager.LocalPlayer);

So I can't seem to use the Actionmanager DoAction calls to perform pet actions.

Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks for the continued help.

Ofcourse none of those worked, you didn't tell it you were trying to use the actiontype.pet

Not sure how I missed that overload.

I've now tried these two:

Actionmanager.DoActionLocation(ActionType.PetAction1, 150003, GameObjectManager.LocalPlayer.Location);
Actionmanager.DoActionLocation(ActionType.PetAction2, 150003, GameObjectManager.LocalPlayer.Location);

With no response. I got the spell id from xivdb:

Place - Skill - Final Fantasy XIV : A Realm Reborn (FFXIV ARR) Database

I tried getting it from the action cache when I summon my pet, I see this stuff normally when swapping class:

[05:28:25.844 N] Action Name:Leeches Action Id:187

But the pet shows with no id, such as:

[05:28:25.846 N] Building Pet Actioncache
[05:28:25.859 N] Action Name:
[05:28:25.859 N] Action Name:Away
[05:28:25.859 N] Action Name:Heel
[05:28:25.859 N] Action Namelace
[05:28:25.859 N] Action Name:Stay
[05:28:25.859 N] Action Name:Guard
[05:28:25.859 N] Action Name:Steady
[05:28:25.859 N] Action Name:Sic
[05:28:25.859 N] Action Name:Obey
[05:28:25.859 N] Action Name:Embrace
[05:28:25.859 N] Action Name:Whispering Dawn
[05:28:25.859 N] Action Name:Fey Covenant
[05:28:25.859 N] Action Name:Fey Illumination
[05:28:25.859 N] Done building Pet Actioncache

Am I getting the wrong Id? Wrong overload still?

Thanks for all the help.

Your out of luck until the next version. all the doaction* check if you have the spell unless you pass the spelldata object directly, and there isnt one exposed for doactionlocation.

Awesome.
