Start a specific bot from a plugin

[fpsware]

I'm sure this is easy enough but I simply don't have a clue where to look for this. How do I tell HB to select a specific bot (this will be done from a plugin while HB).

Eg if HB is Grinding, how do I tell it to select the Questing bot?

Hi, fpsware,

You disappoint us--we thought you knew everything! <smirk>

I haven't tried this for certain, but something like?...

Dictionary<string, BotBase>    bots = Styx.BotManager.Instance.GetBots();

Styx.BotManager.Instance.SetCurrent(bots["Questing"]);

I've left out the error checking for brevity. CharacterSettings also has a value...

CharacterSettings.Instance.SelectedBotIndex​

...but there's the problem of mapping the desired bot to its bot index. I'm uncertain which one is the preferred technique, or perhaps there are other techniques.

cheers,

Thanks. I had already played around with the BotIndex but had been unable to find the string name of the bot. I'll have another look and see what damage I can do

Dictionary<string, BotBase> bots = BotManager.Instance.GetBots();
BotManager.Instance.SetCurrent(useFlyingMount.Checked ? bots["Questing"] : bots["Grind bot"]);

Thats exactly what I wanted. Thanks for your help.
