Hello angelox,
thanks for the idea.
Perl is surely the easiest way to command your bot. But the limitation of it is that you have to target one bot in order to make it doing an action. I'd prefer to have a bot that know what he can do depending of its class and in most situations..
Let's say you're grouped with 5 bots:
1 war, 1 rogue, 1 enchanter, 1 cleric, 1 shaman and you, 1 ranger
You're pulling.
- Once you or one of your bot has the aggro the war will taunt the mob (wich will become the main target of the group).
- The rogue(bot) will go behind it and start the dps.
- The enchanter(bot) will wait to see if any other mob aggro you or one of your bot. If so, he will mez it and keep it mezzed till the first mob dies. While the add is mezzed, he will cast some DD on the main target.
- The cleric(bot) will check the HPs of the group.
- The shaman(bot) will debuff the mob (debuff+dots), will check the buffs of the groups in fight.
- and you... you do what you want to
In the actual state, Perl doesn't permit me to automatize all theses tasks. But I could use it to start a particular AI on a given bot. For example, if I have 2 healers in group, I could set the main and the second healer or 1 bot will be healing and the second one will make dps...
Good day,
Mag
