[ExileAPI Plugin] GiantCounter - Easily count giant rogue exiles in rituals

[uncledolan]

Made this a while ago at beginning of league, just for self use. Figured I'd release it for anyone else who wants to use it. I don't have much background in writing plugins but it seems to work okay, feel free to fork and do whatever you want with it.

It will count all giant exiles either on the screen or within a certain radius of ritual altars. Default range is 1000, which seems to be the correct radius of the altar itself. Also draws a semitransparent circle around the altar if you want.


You can specify a hotkey to snapshot the current number of exiles fitting the parameters to make it easier to remember how many you saw.
Draws an overlay saying how many total, and also tags each entity with a counter.


Plugin here, make a folder called GiantCounter in your Plugins/Source folder.

GitHub - ExiledWriter/GiantCounter: Plugin for ExileAPI to count giant exiles

Note that it will only show you how many exiles are currently matching the rules you set. It is possible an exile spawns outside of the ritual altar and then moves within range. I didn't see any way to tell if the entity spawned within range of the altar or not, only if it was currently in range.

Thanks! But maybe some Giant Rogues aren't counted? Sorry if I'm wrong.

Hey, sup, I forked and made a change on your script to show the giants name below the number of the giants when you press the snapshot key. Like shown below

This way when I extract the vessel I can compare the names on the snapshot with the names on the vessel, I know it's not 100% trustable because the names can repeat and other shits can happen but as far as I tested it, It improved a lot the level of trust of the vessels.

I was thinking in another change to do that can help a lot on vessels creation. The change is, when you enter a map it automatically take a snapshot of all rituals in the map and the giants inside it and print a list on your screen like that:

Ritual 1: 5 giants.
list name of the giants here.

Ritual 2: 1 giant.
list name of the giants here.

Ritual 3: 5 giants.
list name of the giants here.

Ritual 4: 1 giant.
list name of the giants here.

Then we print the number above each ritual when it appear on your screen.

With that when you create the blood vessel you can check the names in the vessel with the list printed. This way we might know when the map possibly have a god ritual as soon as it starts, gaining a lot of time. Again, I know it is not 100% trustworthy but I think it might help a lot.

Unfornately I don't have the knowledge neither the time needed to implement my idea, but anyone who thinks it is worth the time is welcome to implement.

Here is the plugin with the change that I made to print the giants name: GitHub - cesarpescini/GiantCounter: Plugin for ExileAPI to count giant exiles

Note: I don't know if all the rituals are acessible in memory when you enter the map, If they aren't just ignore my idea.

There is a "network bubble" in PoE, so it doesn't load monsters into memory unless you are within a certain range. Unfortunately this means we can't just find out which monsters are within ritual right at map load time.

Understanding this should be mandatory before using anything more then standard plugins included in ExileAPI package...
