The understanding of UseObject and Useitem

[Snixs]

Hey guys, since i started my Questing profile i am quite unsure about a few things regarding UseItem and UseObject.

And when that said, where do i place Overrides for quests?

I've been trying a bit out and how are you guys doing it, i'll give ya a code with the information of all about the quest inn Hellfire:

<Quest Id="10295" Name="From the Abyss">
		<Objective Type="CollectItem" ItemId="29162" CollectCount="1"/>
		 <UseItem QuestName="From the Abyss" QuestId="10295" ItemId="29226" X="-1230.4" Y="1361.36" Z="7.608164" />
		<Hotspots>
			<Hotspot X="-1233.241" Y="1374.34" Z="13.1934" />
			<Hotspot X="-1215.265" Y="1369.504" Z="11.49115" />
			<Hotspot X="-1224.736" Y="1355.542" Z="5.147297" />
		</Hotspots>
	</Quest>

Its kinda messy but i was in a hurry when postin this.


Here's another quest where i tried something out but didnt work:

        <PickUp QuestName="Disrupt Their Reinforcements" GiverName="Forward Commander To'arch" QuestId="10208" GiverId="19273" />
			<Objective QuestName="Disrupt Their Reinforcements" QuestId="10208" Type="CollectItem" Count="8" Id="28513" />
			<Objective QuestName="Disrupt Their Reinforcements" QuestId="10208" Type="UseObject" ObjectId="184414" UseCount="1" X="-418.9239" Y="1839.32" Z="77.50027" /> 
			<Objective QuestName="Disrupt Their Reinforcements" QuestId="10208" Type="UseObject" ObjectId="184415" UseCount="1" X="-541.4108" Y="1780.108" Z="55.55507" /> 
			<TurnIn QuestName="Disrupt Their Reinforcements" TurnInName="Forward Commander To'arch" QuestId="10208" TurnInId="19273" />

Where do you guys place overrides?

Snixs. Hope it aint too confusing

Have a look here for the profile tags
Category:Honorbuddy Profile Tag - Buddy Wiki

I like to place my overrides at the end of my profile below everything else (except the main close); some people place them in the quest order, but I think that will just get confusing.

For the one that didnt work post a log; if i can rember the quest correctly you should be using To'arch's Primers - Item - World of Warcraft at that location. ObjectId="184414" doesn't exist within wow. So swap your id to ObjectId="28478" and check; if that still doesn't work then post a log.

Overrides can go either at the top or the bottom, however you may wish to do what I have recently started doing and that is add them the the QuestOverrides.xml located in ../Quest Helpers/. Doing this will keep your profile neat, tidy and a lot easier to deal with.

Also you do not need to override that first quest at all.

How would you set it then?

<PickUp QuestName="From the Abyss" GiverName="Ogath the Mad" QuestId="10295" GiverId="19683" />
<Objective QuestName="From the Abyss" QuestId="10295" Type="Collect" CollectCount="1" ItemId="29162" />
<UseItem ItemId="28478" QuestName="From the Abyss QuestId="10295" X="-1231.218" Y="1356.968" Z="5.682433" />
<TurnIn QuestName="From the Abyss" TurnInName="Ogath the Mad" QuestId="10295" TurnInId="19683" />

Screw that last post of mine, got it now, it seems. Is there a "UseCount" anywhere? I cant find it on the Wiki

What quest are you trying to do?

What quest are you trying to do?

I just finished this one(mention up in OP):

<Quest Id="10295" Name="From the Abyss">
		<Objective Type="CollectItem" ItemId="29162" CollectCount="1"/>
		 <UseItem QuestName="From the Abyss" QuestId="10295" ItemId="29226" X="-1230.4" Y="1361.36" Z="7.608164" />
		<Hotspots>
			<Hotspot X="-1233.241" Y="1374.34" Z="13.1934" />
			<Hotspot X="-1215.265" Y="1369.504" Z="11.49115" />
			<Hotspot X="-1224.736" Y="1355.542" Z="5.147297" />
		</Hotspots>
	</Quest>

Using this code:

<PickUp QuestName="From the Abyss" GiverName="Ogath the Mad" QuestId="10295" GiverId="19683" />
			<UseItem ItemId="29226" QuestName="From the Abyss" QuestId="10295" X="-1231.218" Y="1356.968" Z="5.682433" />
			<Objective QuestName="From the Abyss" QuestId="10295" Type="Collect" CollectCount="1" ItemId="29162" />
			<TurnIn QuestName="From the Abyss" TurnInName="Ogath the Mad" QuestId="10295" TurnInId="19683" />

Now i'm moving further and trying to do the one named Helboar, the Other White Meat.
Trying a bit and using this one, but i think nathfoth will need to do some quest behaviour on that one. here's the code i just tried with:

			<PickUp QuestName="Helboar, the Other White Meat" GiverName="Legassi" QuestId="9361" GiverId="19344" />
			<Objective Type="Collect" ItemId="23270" CollectCount="8"/>
			<Objective Type="UseItem" ItemId="23268" UseCount="8"/>
			<TurnIn QuestName="Helboar, the Other White Meat" TurnInName="Legassi" QuestId="9361" TurnInId="19344" />
			</QuestOrder>

Would you mind telling me how you got (got if you got) Boiling blood to work?

 

[Synik]

The quest "Helboar, the Other White Meat" requires a custom behavior, though I am not sure whether any of the existing ones will get it working.

As for Blood Boiling, from what I can tell its a simple Collect objective and then a UseItem line should suffice.

So this code should do the job (even tho it's a HUGE cauldron)

<Objective QuestName="Boiling Blood" QuestId="10538" Type="Collect" CollectCount="12" ItemId="30425" />
<Objective QuestName="Boiling Blood" QuestId="10538" Type="UseObject" ObjectId="30425" UseCount="12" X="-418.9239" Y="1839.32" Z="77.50027" />
