[Fightclass]Druid issues

[gillion 3]

Hello, i'm wondering if it's possible for druid fight class as feral to prowl cuz it doesn't seem to be working for me no matter what i put in the conditions. Another thing about druid combat is that it approaches a target within 5 yards before it dismounts and goes into cat form. Is it possible for the bot to go into cat form as soon as it spots the target? if it is it's not working for me. Right now it looks unmistakably to be a bot in any BG doing that. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

"catform" with target true and range to target 20 conditions would work perfect. High priority in the list

[Loki 47]

Range to target, bigger than 20. Keyword is bigger. Set range to whatever you prefer if 20 is too much.

[gillion 3]

that seems to be working.. but still not doing prowl /sigh

any suggestions?

Edit: Nop, nevermind, setting range to 20 makes the bot turn into a cat at range 20, then just stay at range 20 thinking it's a caster and can attack from afar or something. And Prowl doesn't work no matter what i do : <

[Loki 47]

Prowl should be a problem at all.

What is the problem for you? Does it break prowl or will it not get into prowl at all?

Shouldnt need any conditions at all. My first thought is to check "only use in combat" is false on your top right part of profile creator. Check those options and get back to thread with result

it doesn't cast prowl at all, and when i set range to 20, the character change to cat at range 20, and doesn't move closer than 20 before trying to cast any physical attacks.

I'll be testing out more later tonight, will have to head out now

It's because you probably have the Combat only setting on true. My first guess at least.

[Ohren 106]

Also, it's a melee class, so leave the general range at 5 yards, and only change the range on the Prowl condition.

[gillion 3]

tried all that just now, still stays mount up until within 5 yard range of target before dismount>>Cat form and completely ignores the prowl option.
Looks like a very lame druid lol

[gillion 3]

"Combat only"= False
"Buff"= True
Condition:
"Have target"=True
"Me in Move"=True

Tried all but still only cast Cat form when it's right in the target's face (5 yards), and doesn't do prowl at all

[Ohren 106]

Cast if mounted - true.

 

I personally don't bother with prowl on my fight class, it takes way to long to program it properly, and even then, the bonus isn't all that much. I'm still under the influence of a lot of medication, so I don't dare try writing out a full example right now, but if I am up to it tomorrow, I will give you a full run down.

[gillion 3]

When i put "cast if mounted"=true it does Mount>Cat form>Mount>cat form and repeat, looks even more derp now lol

[Ohren 106]

You are making this far more difficult than it needs to be.

Try this.  I use this for prowl leveling, works perfectly.

Nice. :)

Regarding conditions, less is more.

Never but in conditions coz you "think" it should be there. Most often you only need one, or two.

And whenever you put in a new spell in your class you have to think through your priorities. A new spell can fk up everything. As your mount-catform-mount-catform just did.

Less is more ppl, never forget.

i guess i kind of gave up now, it prowls sometimes, but most times before going in combat the druid goes up close to its target before turning into cat form, leaving no space to prowl. Maybe hopefully in future updates there can be different options for "action before entering combat" or "distance before action" rather, i think "target distance" just isn't enough for a more particular condition.

[Loki 47]

We'll get it to work for you, dont worry. I will take a look when I get home. Never give up

[Loki 47]

If you could upload your fightclass Ill tweak it for you

Action before entering combat can be achieves by turning combat, check if know spell, and target in sight to false, and manually setting two target distance condition (bigger than 15 and smaller than 40 works good).

Distance before action is achieved with target distance, there really isn't much more that can be achieved from them when used efficiently.

Well i noticed if i set Cat form as a buff and uncheck the "use ground mount" option, it stays in cat form and runs around less bot like. Then when i set conditions for Prowl to items mentioned above it actually started using the skill. The key was to leave ground mounting out of the option. It lost some speed in traveling but it looks much better now!

[gillion 3]

the original issue was that it stays mounted up until it's in the target's face before casting Cat form, and that looked silly considering normal players would have went into cat form and prowled from miles away. Now taking away mounting option allows the bot to stay in cat and prowls whenever the conditions of distances are met.

[Ohren 106]

Ahh gotcha. Upload a copy of your fight class, Loki and I will take a look at it and see what we can do bud.

[gillion 3]

Yep, here you go. I took the original form Dunduro and modified it a little, for survivallbility in bg use. Let me know if there's something wrong with it.
