[ Request] Reworked scarecrow plugin - Gathering and Harvesting behavior improves

[Orion42]

Hello, i have a request about gathering and harvesting behavior in reworked scarecrow plugin.

Since the beginning, everything works without any problems but as you know, Trion have improved their detection tools.
Therefore, I found the current routines is too easy to make difference behavior between a Bot and a player by watching accomplished tasks.

Below some sample:

   +--------------------+
   | [1] [1] [1][1] [0] |         Scarecrow
   | [0] [1] [1][1] [1] |         ---------
   | [1] [1] [1][0] [1] |   [0] = Dying plant
   | [1] [0] [1][1] [1] |   [1] = Healthy plant
   | [1] [1] [0][1] [1] |   [P] = Player location
   +--------------------+
             [P]

Method 1 actualy use: (Not human behavior)

Task_to_do_1 {1,1,1,...1,1,1,1} on all selected scarecrow.
Task_to_do_2 {0,0,0,0} on all selected scarecrow.

Tasks sequences: Task_to_do_1 => Task_to_do_2​

This method is detectable by any basic behavior's analyzer because these task will done selectively.
In fact, a player wont do different between a dying plant and healthy plant when he gonna gather or harvest.


Method 2 : (Human behavior) and it may be worthwhile if the system can be improved on this way.

Task_to_do_1 {1,1,0,1,1,...1,0} on nearest selected scarecrow.
Tasks sequences: Task_to_do_1 (from player nearest loc.) / scarecrow.
​

A player will gathering or harvesting twice kinds on same time from his nearest area in active scarecrow.

Thanks for reading

I agree this should have been changed a long time ago. ie do all of whats in range to do before moving to me would be better be it feeding hungry and non hungry cows then gathering milk etc from cows or fixing diseased cows for livestock before you move to next cow and do all in range before you move works if doing it this way. not sure if thats what your saying above but yes do all one scarecrow first which mine does anyway as thats how i set the tasks up but it does all one thing it has to on that scarecrow then on to next ie can't cure, feed and gather all in range then move like it should. Also the gathering is all over place because it takes closest one whereas a human would try do all around and not skip a bunch and come back to them ie most times it cuts a hole in middle through stuff then has 2 sections to harvest instead of going around and doing it like most people would.
