[help request] Class Design / Spells

[abuckau907]

Not really a help request, but something similar. As opposed to most people here, I have only played WoW for maybe... <50 hours..i haven't even played half of the classes, most not further than lvl 10 (As I am unemployed atm, I don't have $$ for an account). So my question is (in general) how are you guys handling the different wow spells? For example, some attack spells shouldn't be used unless #Attackers >1 (WarStomp, for example), some burn spells shouldn't be used unless a prior burn spell was cast (I forget the names), some you must be *behind* the target, etc..so I was wondering what types of properties you guys keep for spells? Currently (embarrassingly..) I must create an 'Attack Spell File' ..this works for very basic attacks..the only real requirements are that the mob be in range! Which is working for my low-level hunter, but as soon as I try to use a 60 paly (...again, because I haven't played enough..I really just don't know enough about the sub. material) it's going to fail miserably -- so I kinda thought there must be two ways, hardcode ALL wow spells into the bot (or some .xml file), but that's a lot of work..especially since I'll probably never use some of the classes/spells. So my second idea was, just make the user create .xml files including all the attacks they want to use -- but, I need to give them more properties. Min/Max Range & MinNumAttackers will NOT be enough.

Public Class wowAttackSpell
    Inherits wowSpell
    Private _minRange As Int32 = 0
    Private _maxRange As Int32 = 0
    Private _minNumOfAttackers As Int32 = 0
    ... 'public properties'...
    Public Overloads Function IsReady(ByVal target As objMgrUnitObject) As Boolean
        If MyBase.IsReady() = False Then Return False
        Dim dist As Single = GPS.DistanceFromLocalPlayer(target.PosAsWorldPoint)
        If dist >= _minRange And dist <= _maxRange Then
            If LocalPlayer.NumberOfAttackers >= _minNumOfAttackers Then
                Return True
            Else
                Return False
            End If
        Else
            Return False
        End If
    End Function

again, not looking for code, just wondering what type of properties you guys give the spells (example: minDamange, maxDamage, etc..) (because AttackSpell inherits from basicSpell, it has a few other properties like 'key', manacost, etc. Still need more for my IsSpellReader() tho.. any ideas.

...seriously, are you that bored that you felt the urge to post that? I know this isn't the scamming section!! I quoted him because (...read my quote above) he's giving me grief because THIS section says '[no question]' while he has broke the same type of rules in other sections..i was calling his bullshit, not trying to make this post about scamming....that's why I posted the link..of him breaking the same type of rules. As for you...you're only compounding the problem..if the admins want to get rid of the thread, they will ..you posting more comments about how it's wrong section/rules only makes the admins have to read more bs.

Since you obviously don't care, I gave you infractions instead of a warning.

Next time you post something like this in this section, it'll be a 1 week ban.

Also; you were told to read the giant red text above the forums, and you decided to flame instead.

Enjoy your other infraction points.

Idiot.
