Zugg Software :: View topic - Walking a Path without a Map for a combat bot

Adept Joined: 20 Jul 2004 Posts: 268

k, just curious, and this prolly goes into the "Stupid Question of the Day" Category.
I have a path called test, but not a map.
Running the path itself by typing .test works, but can i set up a combat bot to stop the path, kill the mob, and resume the path?
The reason i don't have a map is cause i can't figure out how to get it to work.
It SHOULD be easy cause when i move there's no desc in the room:

You walk down the tunnel.
You can see exits to the: north south
You walk down the tunnel.
You can see exits to the: south west
You walk down the tunnel.
You can see exits to the: east west

For some reason it don't pick up the moves.
But either way, that's not the real issue :-)

Was just wondering if it was possible to have me walk a path and pause and kill and resume without a map, and HOW i could do it.

Thanks

edit:
actually there IS some text if a mob walks in or if there are items on the floor:
You walk down the tunnel.
You can see exits to the: north east
1. Triple plate armor
2. Vial marked D-03
3. Triple plate armor
An I.R.S. Supervisor emerges from the shadows!
You walk down the tunnel.
You can see exits to the: east south west
1. Springgun (Shock Tox) Dart weapon
2. Hunting Blaster rifle
3. Triple plate armor

It certainly is possible. I accomplished this by setting an alarm to take a step in the path, and suspended the alarm if there were monsters to kill in the room....When all everything is nice and dead, just resum the alarm.

Could you tell me how to set the alarm to take a step in the path?

Assume the path is called test and it's simply nesw

I tried
#step nesw

All i get is a north and then slow walking aborted.
follow that with just #step, and i get north again.

Path is something i am just NOW interested in.
I have speedwalks to areas thru alias' and am just curious about how paths work. so thought i'd try a combat bot for a muck that really don't have a real fighting system.
Just press h to attack the mob in the room. there is only one mob at any point, and one wont wander in unless you drop and pick up something. it's really stupid, so figured it would be a good training guide for me.

bleh, thougth #step was my answer

#step wewe
#TRIGGER {^You can see exits to the:} {#IF (%walkconfirm) {#STEP}}

w
You walk down the tunnel.
You can see exits to the: east west

Sorry for the delay...Not mudding too much anymore, so...

Adept Joined: 20 Jul 2004 Posts: 268

like i said, it's a muck, and the only combat area is a Labyrinth.
It's nailschat.org

Mud, muck, mush, same bloody thing as far as I'm concerned. You get the same types of people in each, even if in slightly different proportions....

hrmm.
Do i need a certain alias for the path?
right now, if i have the path a1 as wewewe and i type .a1 it spams in the commands, and continues the path with out stopping

Create an alias that does the following:

Adept Joined: 20 Jul 2004 Posts: 268

yeah, remembered the alias from someone elses post.

but now i got another problem. There are 3 certain mobs that I don't want to attack. one causes blindness, the other hits you for a HIGH exp loss, and the other just kicks ass.

#TRIGGER {(%*) emerges from the shadows!} {
#if ((%1="A Playboy Photographer") OR (%1="A D.E.A. Man") OR (%1="A Deadhead")) {t} {
#T- "Combat_Bot|walk"
#SUSPEND a1
h
#T- "Combat_Bot|akill"
}
}

I woulda thought this would work. the {t} is there for a test:

A Playboy photographer emerges from the shadows!
t
A Bret Saberhagen emerges from the shadows!
t

*mutter* that's not whats supposed to happen...supposed to be an h for the saberhagen
Would be nice to put them together as well
#if (%1="{A Playboy Photographer|A D.E.A. Man|A Deadhead")
but don't know if that would work since it's fouled up anyways.

Here's the whole script

*grumble*
I went another route with it:
#CLASS {Combat_Bot|akill}
#TRIGGER {{A Bret Saberhagen|A Bothan spy|etc etc etc etc|A Hutt} emerges from the shadows!} {#T- "Combat_Bot|walk";#SUSPEND a1;h;#T- "Combat_Bot|akill"}
#CLASS 0

don't have the 3 mobs i DON'T want in there.
Don't like how it looks, but it works.
If someone can show how my PREVIOUS one can work with out the bloat that would be great.
Thanks

EDIT: Went yet another route:
#VAR mobs {Barabel hunter|Barney|etc etc etc|Ossan Chief} {_nodef} "Combat_Bot|akill"
#TRIGGER {{A|An} (%*) emerges from the shadows!} {#IF (%ismember( %1, @mobs)) {#T- "Combat_Bot|walk";#SUSPEND a1;h;#T- "Combat_Bot|akill"}} "Combat_Bot|akill"

Still wondering about the one way before :-)

#TR {{@mobs} emerges from the shadows} {kill em!}

Adept Joined: 20 Jul 2004 Posts: 268

thought i needed that in a if %ismember thing.
either way, really looking for the shorter list.
if it's one of about 3 or 4 mobs, it wont attack, and continue the path as if nothing happened.

ran into a snag.

Well done so far....If I start mudding alot again, I'll have to make some major revisions to my own bot...Anyways, back to your problem....

At this point my copy of zMud seems to be reluctant to start, so I can't thoroughly test anything, but...

if i've gone down 5 times then #alarm +5 {a1} = wait 5 seconds before doing the a1 alias again which starts the whole bot. the @downvar was at 5 at the time. the W was the 1st step of the bot
if ya want a TIME frame of how long i was fighting, i can't tell, but it was 11 rounds from what I count in my post.
a round is subjective tho, if u DONT attack the mob just sits there doing nothing. But since i got that trigger to auto-h it's pretty much like..every half a sec?
It don't seem to happen everytime either. I ran into some long fights after and everything was fine. Tho, I can't confirm if the SAME specs were met here. Meaning, long fight on the last step of the bot.

are all the last words of the mob names unique, multiple words, and keywrods (supervisor|man|spy|saberhagen|hutt|photographer|etc etc)?

if so:

#VAR dont_kill {A Bret Saberhagen|A Bothan spy|etc etc etc etc|A Hutt}

#TRIGGER {(%*) (%w) emerges from the shadows!$} {#IF %ismember(%concat(%1," ",%2),@dont_kill) {#SHOW %concat(%1," ",%2) is a mean mob, skipping} {#SHOW kill %2}}

#SHOW A Bret Saberhagen emerges from the shadows!
A Bret Saberhagen is a mean mob, skipping

#SHOW A Stormtrooper quintet emerges from the shadows!
kill quintet

just an easier way to auto_target if so.

Well, apparently you're restarting the bot in the middle of a fight....Quick and dirty solution is to give that alarm I put in bold a name and suspend it (put the suspend in the hit trigger?) and then resume it on death....Though you'll probably think of some better way to do it.

Adept Joined: 20 Jul 2004 Posts: 268

Well, it happened again, and this time it was at the same situation. The room with a down and mob comes in.
I'm thinking that I'll just #T- akill when the down room comes up, and #T+ akill when i finish going down.
(Anyone but me thinks this is starting to sound like a bad Porn Movie?)

Private:
This is what I have now with mobs i attack
#TRIGGER {{A|An} (%*) emerges from the shadows!} {#IF (%ismember( %1, @mobs)) {#T- "Combat_Bot|walk";#SUSPEND a1;h}} "Combat_Bot|akill"

This is what I had before with the MUCH shorter list (5 mobs) of stuff NOT to kill
#TRIGGER {{A|An} (%*) emerges from the shadows!} {#IF (%ismember( %1, @ickymobs)) {#echo No kill} {#T- "Combat_Bot|walk";#SUSPEND a1;h}} "Combat_Bot|akill"

For some reason it never worked.It would still attack mobs in the ickmobs variable. Am i missing something? cause it LOOKS like it should work, but ya know me, things never come out right the 5th time around ;-)

Put the second trigger first, and.....does #GAG prevent the other triggers from detecting it?

Adept Joined: 20 Jul 2004 Posts: 268

?...2nd trigger 1st?
I only have ONE trigger.
the 1st is my current one, the 2nd was what i HAD before.
