Question MQ2Bot Puller issue

[orion949]

I am trying to setup my puller to use bow for pulling but when I do /bot on it doesnt pull it just goes into a ranged attack loop,

Is something set incorrectly in the .ini?

[orion949]

Any ideas on this one?

 

[htw]

I'll look into it for you asap. What class, bow and arrows are you using?

 

[eminem121416]

im sure i heard before it was never made to work with bows? could be wrong but? im sure person who created mq2bot said that before?

 

[htw]

I added it a while back for use with ranged pulling.

He is a WAR using Conflagrant Longbow with summoned etherial arrows.

Im not sure I have a clear understanding of these two settings:

PullingLOS=1 (does this mean he will only try to pull the mob if it is LOS with him?)

MQ2NavDistance=100 (what does this one mean?)

 

[htw]

PullingLOS would normally be 1 (true). Meaning, MQ2 must return that you are line of sight on target before pulling (with whatever aa, spell, etc.). I had put that in, for I found some (not many, but a few) situations where a particular skill would still pull mobs on a flat plane with "things" there (such as a broken box, or partial shack, etc.) but LOS on it would return false. So I just put it in for at least a user has SOME way of getting past such a glitch if they find one.

MQ2NavDistance: Ignore it. It looks like pete intended to perhaps use it as some kind of debug flag for doing something, but was never used. I see it in code just reading it from ini, and writing it, but never used in code. I will take it out for future, although it'll still show up in existing INI files if it's already there (i.e., I won't try to delete it).

I'll check with a bow on pulling. I swear I think when I was developing it, I used two items, the summoned fangs, and bow/arrows, and was good to go - but will go in on my war and see what's up and get back to you. If nothing else, we can compare INI entries and gear setup.

I appreciate the help brother. On a related note, is there a better way for a WAR to pull other than his bow? Do most people use something else that actually works better? WAR has never been my main and Im basically new to the game again so if there is something better I am all ears on that too.

 

[htw]

Not sure, I've never really played a war much either. Someone else can hopefully chime in with some advice. I normally pull with my monk.

I am just now trying to use mq2bot to pull. I am trying to get it to where my bard pulls. This is my INI setup. When I load everything in game and do /bot on the bard does nothing. it just stands there and does normal bot things, like assist the main tank etc. however, I cannot get it to pull, move, target mobs on its own, or anything. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

I am just now trying to use mq2bot to pull. I am trying to get it to where my bard pulls. This is my INI setup. When I load everything in game and do /bot on the bard does nothing. it just stands there and does normal bot things, like assist the main tank etc. however, I cannot get it to pull, move, target mobs on its own, or anything. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

From what I can see in the code, looks like you might need to set yourself as the group's puller by right clicking on the characters name from the group leader and selecting puller as the role of the bard.

 

[eqman22]

Sound like such a ridiculously easy fix. I will try it out. Thanks tons!

 

[eqman22]

Well, apparently Pulling is disabled in every zone I want to use it in lol. I found out that was the problem. Whenever I turn on puller, in the mq2mmobugs window it says "Pulling is disabled in this zone."

I assume it is only enabled in old zones or something?

I believe that message will only be displayed if you don't have a valid MQ2Nav path loaded.

void CheckNavigation()
{
	if (!InGameOK())
		return;
	strcpy_s(CurrentRoutine, __FUNCTION__);
	DebugWrite("Executing subroutine.");
	bCanIPull = false;
	if (Evaluate("${Navigation.MeshLoaded}"))
	{
		bCanIPull = true;
		if (AnnounceBehaviorChange)
			WriteChatf("Pulling enabled in this zone.");
	}
	else
	{
		if (AnnounceBehaviorChange)
			WriteChatf("Pulling disabled in this zone.");
	}

 

[eqman22]

Oh ok. Thanks, Fry!

 

[eqman22]

Just to confirm, this does not run out and grab mobs, but rather will just use the chosen character ability to cast on mobs that are within casting range from the group's camp spot according to the radius set.

Is that right?

There is an option called "PullingDistance" in ini.

Looks like it defaults at 0.

Try changing that.

The code is written to use MQ2Nav to path to the mob, and pull them back to camp.

 

[eqman22]

Yeah, adjusting pulling distance just determines what mobs the toon targets (if outside of the set pulling distance it will not target the mobs). The toon targets anything within the set pulling distance and will hit the mobs with the set ability. However, the toon will not run to anything. It is just stationery and targets/nukes anything within the set pulling distance, which brings the mobs to the group, and then bot takes care of the mob.

Obviously, this is better than nothing, but very limiting in the fact you can only set the pulling distance to a distance that your ability can hit from the camp spot.

If it matters, I am using this in TBL/ROS zones. Maybe the "run out and get stuff" does not work in these last 2 expansions?

Thanks!

 

[htw]

It goes and fetches them. Any mob withing the PullingDistance, using PullSkillName, and utilizes MQ2Nav to do it (you do need valid loaded mesh), and DoPulls=1.

E.g.:

PullingDistance=700
MQ2NavDistance=10
PullSkillName=Distant Strike
AnnounceBehaviorChange=1
AttackCommand=/killthis
SafetyInvisOnWarp=0
SafetyCommandOnTell=
SafetyCommandOnGM=/bcaa //bot off
SafetyCommandOnMyWarp=
SafetyCommandOnOthersWarp=
SafetyCommandOnTooFarFromCamp=
DoPetSwarm=1
DebuffsSpellFirst=0
DoPulls=1
PullingMaxZ=200
PullingLOS=1

htw

 

[eqman22]

I am guessing "a valid loaded mesh" is the reason it does not work in new zones.

[MQ2Nav] Cannot Navigate-no mesh file loaded....I get this in TBL/ROS zones.

Is there somewhere to download meshes for current zones, or is that something we have to create ourselves? I have no idea how it works, so if there is nowhere to download them, I will use it the best I can with how it is!

Thanks!
