Thx for these

it makes creating profiles alot easier. But can you make another one like use spell on but then with use macro on? or at least that we can use a text. There is a dwarven quest were you need to /whistle to the rams running around. Something like this perhaps?

<CustomBehavior File="UseMacro" QuestId="xxx" Macro="/Whistle" NpcId="xxx" NumOfTimes="4" HpLeftAmount="70" MinRange="14" X="-1694.702" Y="1310.653" Z="19.7822" />

Is there any updates/fixes coming up soon?

Regards,
Nick.

blancharke · Dec 27, 2010

Another one that should be needed is forced pickup and forced handin, bot runs to questgiver (mine is dwarf at airfield) he runs to questgiver but gets in combatmode because of HB. Doesn't want to pick up the quest.

moujoohoo · Dec 27, 2010

any update on this soon?

Peenutt · Dec 29, 2010

im currently in the process of making a Uldum questing profile, and having to use custom behaviors. I'm VERY new to crating profile part, but picking it up pretty quickly. Currently tryin to get my guy to the usegame object one to work on the Smoke in Their Eyes quest. I been tryin to dang hours to get it to use the Brazier Torch but just wont. Any help would be great!

Here is what i have

<CustomBehavior File="UseGameObject" QuestId="27923" ObjectId="63027" NumOfTimes="1" X="-11104.9" Y="-1313.148" Z="10.806" />

Is there any way to Cast a spell (A tradeskill) specifically on an item with one of these?

Playing around with using these new Quest Behaviors to get a Death Knight starter area done, and
Runeforging: Preparation For Battle - Quest - World of Warcraft
seems to be a problem.

Use the UseItem that comes with HB at the specific location.

Also there will be updates soon, it was the holidays and I was on break.

Peenutt · Dec 29, 2010

I was just able to get it to work with the useitem one, had to scan another profile to find an example

louisduloc · Dec 30, 2010

I guess becouse of my custem class I have to add WaitTime

<CustomBehavior File="UseItemOn" QuestId="25370" ItemId="53009" NpcId="39921" WaitTime="9000" NumOfTimes="1" HpLeftAmount="40000" X="5681.915" Y="-3444.433" Z="1588.441" />

But it's not an item? How would that work?

Agreed. I believe Natfoth misspoke, and meant the UseObject variant of the built-in <Objective> element.

He'll have to actually confirm or deny his intent, but until then this will be my assumption.

On another note...
Its probably a very bad idea to have 'two ways' to accomplish the same goal like this. I would defer to the built-in one, unless the <CustomBehavior> variant adds significant additional value.

Even if there were differences, it would be smart to fold the missing behavior into the other, and eliminate one of them. Makes no difference to me which one is eliminated, but I believe one of these mechanisms needs to go.

This is not a slight in any way to Natfoth--from a user-base perspective, such duplication creates unnecessary burden, documentation, maintenance, and confusion.

cheers,

I'm not sure how UseObject would work either.. I need to cast something from a tradeskill onto an item, like casting an enchant on something in my bags or on my character

bump bump, this is why we dont have any quest profiles, nobody Want to help...

awqawq · Jan 5, 2011

Code:

Could not generate any hotspots for quest To Steal From Thieves. Please place a quest override for this quest.

How do i do this override?

Questorder is:

<PickUp QuestName="To Steal From Thieves" QuestId="26428" GiverName="Genavie Callow" GiverId="4486" />
<Objective QuestName="To Steal From Thieves" QuestId="26428" Type="CollectItem" ItemId="5830" CollectCount="1" />
<Objective QuestName="To Steal From Thieves" QuestId="26428" Type="CollectItem" ItemId="5832" CollectCount="1" />
<Objective QuestName="To Steal From Thieves" QuestId="26428" Type="CollectItem" ItemId="5831" CollectCount="1" />
<TurnIn QuestName="To Steal From Thieves" QuestId="26428" TurnInName="Genavie Callow" TurnInId="4486" />

I've done som quick searching but i only found solutions to the old questing system.

Edit:

<Quest Name="To Steal From Thieves" Id="26428">

<Objective Type="CollectItem" ItemId="5830" CollectCount="1">
<CollectFrom>
<Mob Name="Marcel Dabyrie" Id="4481" />

Did not fix my issue

Is there a quest behaviour, or some other way to handle, attacking an npc until it turns from unfriendly to friendly? Theres a few "beat up until they submit" type quests something like this could be used for.

[/QUOTE]
 
Change "NpcId" to "NpcID", and please submit a bugtracker for it.  The key should be "NpcId" to keep it consistent with other parts of Honorbuddy, or the CustomBehavior needs to accept both variants.

I've placed a warning on the [I][U][wiki]Honorbuddy Custom Behavior: BasicInteractWith[/wiki][/U][/I] page.  The new Custom Behavior Wiki pages are still being written, and it will take some time.  Thank you for your patience about this.


[quote=moojouhoo]bump bump, this is why we dont have any quest profiles, nobody Want to help... [/quote]

Its not because we don't want to, its because we're not online as much as you, apparently.  After seeing these issues, it takes us a while to figure out what's wrong, also.  So, please just demonstrate some patience.  If you are in that big of a hurry, you need to invest your own time to figure things out.

The override you found is close, but malformed. <Objective> is not nestable.

Try reworking it like this:

Code:

<Quest Name="To Steal From Thieves" Id="26428">
    <Objective Type="CollectItem" ItemId="5830" CollectCount="1">
        <CollectFrom>
            <Mob Name="Marcel Dabyrie" Id="4481" />
        </CollectFrom>
        <Hotspots>
            <Hotspot X="-1056.001" Y="-2818.495" Z="42.04172" />
        </Hotspots>
    </Objective>

    <Objective Type="CollectItem" ItemId="5832" CollectCount="1">
        <CollectFrom>
            <Mob Name="Fardel Dabyrie" Id="4479" />
        </CollectFrom>
        <Hotspots>
            <Hotspot X="-1054.421" Y="-2839.774" Z="42.02087" />
        </Hotspots>
    </Objective>

    <Objective Type="CollectItem" ItemId="5831" CollectCount="1">
        <CollectFrom>
            <Mob Name="Kenata Dabyrie" Id="4480" />
        </CollectFrom>
        <Hotspots>
            <Hotspot X="-998.1653" Y="-2893.409" Z="63.63837" />
        </Hotspots>
    </Objective>
</Quest>

I've always been curious about this one, too. Have you tried treating the mob as a simple hostile (e.g., Kill Task)? The WoWclient will force Honorbuddy to break off attacking when the mob turns friendly. The question is... "does the underlying Honorbuddy behavior consider the mob 'killed'?" when that happens.

What is the behavior you observed if you do this?

Please respond with your findings, such that we can document it in the appropriate places in the Wiki.

thanks!
