Syntax for attacking a Unit Actor Type? (Jondar)

[rgod14]

Hey all,

Is there syntax that would allow me attack a Unit? Specifically Jondar?

I have everything working great to get to him, had to actually MoveTo and object on the floor below to actually get it to traverse the stairs properly, but then it doesn't attack Jondar. It does attack all the skeletons he spawn but never targets or attacks him.

Any suggestions are welcome.

i use useobject

check out my profiles if you have questions =)

Hah, trust I've been perusing your profiles for sure. They have given me a lot of ideas to on how to get past roadblocks, though I did try to manually code them myself just for the learning experience.

Honestly this is the final bug I have left in a full AFK profile from Start Act 1 to Skeleton King. (Planning to finish all of act 1.)

I'll try that although I didn't have much luck with it in the past.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Damn, tried both UseObject and TargetPriority. Neither worked.

Any other suggestions?

 

[Kickazz006]

oh, you mean attack him mainly and not his adds

i thought you meant something so that you could actually go up to him and initiate the 'kill jondar' step

target priority should work - but if it doesn't... i'm sure there's a plugin that you can add an actorId to (maybe sarkoth plugin?)

TargetPriority makes him stick Jondar like glue but doesn't attack him lol.

I'm going to scour the plugins to see what I can find.

Guess it's another feature DB needs to implement, they have talkto, useobject, etc. for actors, but no attackobject =(

Wonder if editing the combat rules would help?

Searched high and low and nothing seems to fit. Tried Giles Monster Priority changer but alas nothing either.

Something just came into my mind. Maybe DB team blacklisted jondar from being attack-able. I was blacklisting other monsters to test stuff, and it did the exact scenario as jondar, just follows him and only attack surrounding enemies.

Can any devs confirm if it's true or not?

Any possible option for unblacklisting actorId, for example:

<TargetUNBlacklists>
<TargetUNBlacklist actorId="86624" name="Unblacklist jondar" />
</TargetUNBlacklists>

Ya that's a good idea Zippy. Or even the ability to set an actorId as hostile so the bot treats it like an enemy.
