[Targeting] New Stance Request

[nickyzin]

I need a new targeting stance that looks like "Circle" Stance. You can call it "Dodge" or something.

It's just to dodge waves or beams of the current target, ignoring other creature around.

Example:
Hunting Demons with "Reach & Circle" Stance. When it summons a "Fire Elemental", the characters starts circling the Demon without stopping because the FE is getting on the line of the character and the bot attemp to avoid the beam of the FE.
Circling isn't practical in this case, the character takes some beams and the spell attacks get slower or hardly ever sync with the wand/rod.

I made a script like this for Edron's Demon Cave, and for the tower respawn I use Circle stance (because it's too small to run) and for the rest I use Keep Away.
It's pretty good, if the Demon don't summon FE. When it summons, things just get screwed >:/.

I just started using WindBot, came from iBot. There the Circle Stance just dodges the current target, which is much better for some hunts.

That's all, please at least answer my thread.

do you have "avoid beams" checked on demons in targeting?

[pvzin]

I really do think the "Avoid Wave/Beam" should stick only to the targeted creature.
The char does indeed go crazy, haha!

I agree actually, the current targeting method of 'dodging' is way to bot like, and as pvzin said you just go crazy running around the creature, waste more supplys than it's worth.

@pvzin @StaR

What do you guys mean though? It won't avoid beams from FE unless he put that on that creature also, it's just trying to "path" its way to the distance needed without catching a beam to the face, every monster has an individual setting. I'm sure this will have a major update in WB 3.0 though, still.

You can try using "Away in Line" Targeting function @nickyzin

@ozzix
yes, lol. I've already tried every possible combination of Stance and Avoidance Setting, the results are: standing still or running crazy around the target.
@Riku
It's not useful there... The respawn is too small to run.

I've already made an action to solve this, but I still think that WindBot should put the new Stance, or make and update for this issue.

auto(500,1000)

if $cavebot and $targeting and $posz ~= 15 then-- the keep away stance activates in posz == 15

	if $attacked.name == "Demon" and maround(2,"Fire Elemental") > 0 then

		if $attacked.posy == $posy then

			if tilewalkable($posx,$posy-1,$posz) then

				move('n')

			elseif tilewalkable($posx,$posy+1,$posz) then

				move('s')

			end

		end

		if $attacked.posx == $posx then

			if tilewalkable($posx-1,$posy,$posz) then

				move('w')

			elseif tilewalkable($posx+1,$posy,$posz) then

				move('e')

			end

		end

	end

end

This will be done once I get to make improvements on the Targeting system.
