Companion Reactive hunting...

[nocturnix]

I have lich but so far id like to try this in stormfront first...

So I have 2 characters I would like to hunt together with. Currently its quite manual, alt tabbing. When I realized: hey you could quite easily write a script so you dont have to alt tab and suffer more carpal tunnel. So I'd like to issue 3 simple commands from my main hunting character as I hunt. These commands will be imbedded within my hunting macros.

The commands are simply:
Attack
Stop attacking
Buff

The script should also automatically stop attacking when the critter dies. Here is what I have so far:


command:
MATCH startattack MainCharacter raises his sonic lance in triumph!
MATCH stopattack MainCharacter whispers to the group, "At ease."
MATCH buff MainCharacter whispers to the group, "Prepare for attack!"
matchwait


startattack:
match stopattack The krolvin warfarer rolls over on the floor and goes still.
match stopattack The krolvin warfarer crashes to the floor in a plume of dust.
match stopattack MainCharacter whispers to the group, "At ease."
match buff MainCharacter whispers to the group, "Prepare for attack!"
put stance off
put attack warf
pause 2

goto startattack
stopattack:
put stance def
goto command
matchwait


buff:
put sign of striking
put sign of smiting
put sign of swords
put inc 506
goto command
matchwait


So far the script runs at least, and the attack command of raising my lance starts an attack. But when I issue an "At ease." command he does not stop. Any tips would be welcome. Thanks!

just so you are aware commanding a script to react with one char from another is a direct violation of policy regardless if you are at the keys or not. Just a heads up.

Isn't that what Sabreon does?

What part of policy is that exactly?

Character "Bots"

For the purpose of this policy, a character "bot" is defined as any character that is unresponsive to the gaming environment except for scripted responses to triggers which can be executed by third parties to perform automatic "services" (e.g., healing, lock picking, spell casting, etc.).

Any participation in the use of character "bots" witnessed by Staff, even if the unresponsive character(s) is not connected to your account, will be considered against policy and result in a warning and or other penalties. For example, if you knowingly activate a script run by another character who is unresponsive (such as set up to cast spells when "tapped"), you will receive a warning for Scripting Abuse.
