Stairs Navigation

[Unknown]

Hey

So, I'm trying to get my bot to navigate his way up a spiral staircase - I guess the quest is unimportant as pretty much all the spiral staircases are the same....

I'm trying to use <CustomBehavior File="MyCTM"

Is this the route I should be going down? I'm having problems with the bot only moving once or not seeing the stairs and ending up on the floor.....I also read on theWiki that MyCTM isn't desirable.

Help, as always, is much appreciated, thanks

It sounds like the staircase you're trying to use isn't meshed. Theoretically, to get this problem repaired you post a screenshot of the exact problem area, a map, and your X/Y/Z location into this thread. They'll then update the mesh and it will be re-pushed to all HBclients moving through that area.

MyCTM isn't desirable for a number of reasons, but sometimes, its all you have. MyCTM is dumb, straight-line movement--there is no 'navigation' going on, there is no 'unstuck' behavior going on.

I'd definitely bracket all MyCTM behavior use with and appropriate &lt;If&gt; condition so they aren't executed unless absolutely necessary. If there are hostile mobs in the area, and this causes you to fight and move from a MyCTM location, then you'll probably get hung and require user attention. It will also take you maybe a dozen or more MyCTM behavior invocations to get up a set of spiral stairs, then you'll need to reverse them to get down the stairs. This is why the Wiki calls it a mess.

Its a tough call to make.

Here's a screenshot of the location, complete with a map of the area, I'm actually standing on the "D" in "DISTRICT"

My location is: X="-1753.717" Y="1429.255" Z="29.03245"

I am trying to navigate to the top of the spiral staircase to hand a quest in to "Lord Darius Crowley"

<TurnIn QuestName="The Prison Rooftop" QuestId="28850" TurnInName="Lord Darius Crowley" TurnInId="35077" />

I hope this info is enough, but if not, feel free to /yell at me and I'll supply whatever information you need to get me going again...many thanks!
