[Plugin] Stop dumb zig-zagging as you head towards a node.

So yeah,
This plugin doesn't stop the zig-zagging as much as it dismounts you before it gets to that stage.

Been running it a few hours now and no problems with trees or sneaky nodes under rocks.
I use a DK for farming and it works great. Have had a druid testing it and he says it works great. When you are a druid it *will* take you out of flightform when you get to a node.
If that's not what you want then don't use the plugin.

Like most of my shit, it isn't pretty but it works. It sure as hell stops the zig-zagging...my biggest issue with GB2 atm.

Instructions:

Extract to your plugin folder.

It's set to dismount 30 yards from the Herb/Ore as long as they are above you, stops face planting into mountains ;) Thanks Trons for the stoopid simple fix for that btw ;)

If you want to dismount closer/farther then edit line 42.

If you want to mine and herb instead of just herbing then uncomment line 36 and comment line 35.

---

Feedback, tips, improvements etc. welcome ofc.

Edit: Added code to loot as soon as combat ends or during combat if more than one mob. BLATANTLY and unashamedly stole code from BadWolf and Inrego from the excellent combatloot plugin. If this is an issue lemme know ;p ;D
Just replace Dismnoutherb.cs with DismountHerbCombatLoot.cs in the plugin folder.

Edit2: Handy dandy GUI supplied by Pasterke . Much respect :D

Edit3: Updated V3 GUI post http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorb...ging-you-head-towards-node-5.html#post1206539 from Pasterke :) Find Zip below.

Edit4: New non loot version attached, DismountHerb.cs (2.6 KB). Will dismount in any zone when using GB2 or Professionbuddy to make leveling gathering/mining faster. Also added mining only line. Comment line 50 and uncomment 48 or 49 if you don't want both. Tried making Pasterkes Gui work buuuuut apparently i suck so no GUI as of yet...only a small hint there me thinks ;)

Edit5: Gui update V4. StopZigZag_v4.zip (7.4 KB) thanks to Pasterke :)

Works great! looks a lot better! actually funny to see the toon racing for the ore/herb and than dismounting and flying towards it
 
Thank you for this, the zig-zag was a big give away that it was obviously a bot.
I only do mining for JC, so I changed IsHerb to IsMinerals instead of enabling both Minerals and Herbs.
Also set the the yardage to 15 instead of 30.
Works great! Thanks a lot!
 
I cant seem to edit the code properly, im using notepad ++ but when I edit the line to make it for mining as well. It doesnt show up in the plugins anymore. Maybe im not understanding the instructions.
 
:) Glad it works for you guys.

Tryplesoul: Make sure you either comment the Herb only line if you uncomment the Herb and Mine line or delete it all together.

Selfish/careless i know to have a Herb only and not a Mine only line FredalBob but you figured it out and also...meh ;) :D
 
Looks like it works really well, changed it from 30 to 15, but i like what i see. This is a must have IMO
 
Hey,

thx for your work.

Sometimes he does Cancel Birdman mode! and sometimes not.

Changed range to 10 yards, did I miss something here ?

Thx & Greetings
 
this is almost a must have for herbing/mining. the bot would always have trouble landing if a herb or ore was near a tree or rock. this plugin is awesome.

sometimes he dismounts a little to early, overshooting his target, but not by much, so then he just walks back and gets the node. :)

great work!
 
THIS IS AWESOME, for those who can't figure the code out for mining herbing,
delete the line 35, cant find it? download Notepad++ and open with that. super easy.
delete the "//" off line 36,
save
recompile plugins if you're already running
gg.
 
So this on tauren druids will dismount flight form when getting to a HERB?
Anyway to make it NOT canceling flight form when going for a herb and only dismount when is going for a mineral?


regards
 
Glad it's working for most :)
Been busy working so haven't played/botted in weeks now :( BUT i will have time again next week when the 12 hour shifts end...or so they say ;)

@Breivenbus: It hasn't ever done that for me so really can't say what the problem is :( Also there is no settings option. You have to open the file in a text editor, Notepad++ or Ultraedit32(my fav) or any other that you prefer to change things. Throw up a fresh log and i will see if i can see what's happening as far as the dismount issue goes.

@Kek: Same thing, throw up a fresh log and i will take a looksie, I use a DK for farming but the cancelaura *should* work fine. I had a buddy test it while i was writing it using his Drood.

@Kav: Yeah, that's possible to do but there are herbs that hide under rocks, behind trees and in tree stumps etc. So the bird form would still fly in a zig-zag motion for those, which kind of defeats the purpose :( The extra few seconds lost because of form change is worth it imo. But feel free to add it yourself. It isn't hard to figure out how to add what you want ;)

And ofc if anyone else has any ideas about the problem and has a fix don't be shy about posting ;)

Click to expand...

Yea, i got zero knowledge on scripting.
The reason that i was asking is that i had reports in mind.
It kinda looks fishy when another player see a druid getting out of flight form to pick up a herb, specially a tauren druid.
 
Works great. Is more player-like honestly than the jitter without it that happens all too much.
