How would I make this?

[eXotaur]

Okay I'd want to do something like this:

if current waypoint is > x and higher than x in the 'Spawn' waypoint section AND ypos is > x and xpos > x then
dosomething()

How I'd do that?

The thing is, the bot rarely crosses a special area it really shouldn't. But when it does that I want it to set some monsters to only kill if trapped and to NOT loot any. So it will run to the next waypoint and attack&loot everything again. I thought this would be the best method.

@eXotaur First I would start by posting on the right forum section/reading the forum rules.

@eXotaur briefly speaking you want, if bot cross some special area he disable this special area?

try this

auto(100)

if $wptsection == "Zebra" and $posy >= 11111 then

setsetting('Cavebot/SpecialAreas/Area Zebra/Policy', 'None')

else

wait(10000)

setsetting('Cavebot/SpecialAreas/Area Zebra/Policy', 'Targeting')

end

[eXotaur]

Thanks! but nope.

If the bot will cross the special area, it needs to set some monsters to only kill if trapped and to NOT loot any. So it will run to the next waypoint and attack&loot everything again.

its not better you remove this special area and put one action when char go refill to set all targetings to "only if traped" and "dont loot"

more easy if this are for a refill thing

Okay so I described the situation in this picture:



The green broken circle is the spawn I'm botting, the red circle is a dangerous spawn pretty close. Its no problem if monsters from the red spawn get lured into the green area.
The green arrows are how the bot will walk.

The purple lines are special areas.
Just before the first purple line, bot will set all monsters to kill 'Only if trapped'. Also it will cast strong haste and it will run to a waypoint after the second purple line. So it will run trough the red part of the spawn without killing anything.
After it reaches that waypoint, bot will kill monsters again like normally.

But rarely, monsters will run past purple line #2, and the bot will cross the purple line to loot it or kill it and loot. See where I'm going? If this happens, the bot will be near the red dangerous spawn, and monsters will lure my char there. If this happens, the char will die.

So I want it to NEVER cross the 2nd purple line when it reached the waypoint after it.
How would I do that?

the 2 special areas are just for target or cavebot too?

Because I like simple solutions with over-complicated code behind them and because I somehow gotta promote the use of the code I wrote myself, here's my take on this:

Make the purple special area a rectangular one, such as this:


Preferably border-only, but it doesn't really matter.

Then use this code:

init start

	-- This is case sensitive

	local specialAreaName = 'dangerousShit'



	-- DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE --

	local specialArea



	foreach settingsentry e 'Cavebot/SpecialAreas' do

		if get(e, 'Name') == specialAreaName then

			specialArea = Area:createFromSpecialArea(e)

		end

	end

init end



auto(100)

if specialArea:hasPoint({$posx, $posy}) then

	-- Inside dangerous area

else

	-- Outside dangerous area

end

[eXotaur]

That would be a perfect idea indeed, but I can't just drop down a rectangular figure out there..



I've marked the special areas purple, and the ignorable area pinkish. So you can see the whole figure which needs to be ignored..

[Raphael]

K, this should solve it by allowing multiple special areas:

init start

	-- This is case sensitive

	local specialAreaNames = {

		'dangerousShit1',

		'dangerousShit2',

		'dangerousShit3'

	}



	-- DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE --

	local specialAreas = {}



	foreach settingsentry e 'Cavebot/SpecialAreas' do

		if table.find(specialAreaNames, get(e, 'Name')) then

			table.insert(specialAreas, Area:createFromSpecialArea(e))

		end

	end



	-- I plan to add this to my lib on the next update. Maybe

	local function table.any(self, condition)

		for k, v in pairs(self) do

			if condition(v, k) then

				return true

			end

		end



		return false

	end

init end



auto(100)

if table.any(specialAreas, function(v) return v:hasPoint({$posx, $posy}) end) then

	-- Inside dangerous area

else

	-- Outside dangerous area

end
