[Release] LuaNinja - Run protected Lua code

A bot addon I was making some time ago. Currently it can navigate a set of waypoints. It's 100% LUA, running as an addon.
It should be able to run ingame with LuaNinja

How can an in-game addon follow a set of waypoints? Or did you have a hack like LuaNinja running as well?

Cos all the movement commands are protected ye?

Care to explain further?

EDIT: Ok so I actually looked at the code and tell me if I'm on the right track. We have to get our own waypoints from somewhere and add to the waypoint table? and then what? then hit go (or something as there's no go button xD) and it follows the waypoints or am I way off?
I'm no coder so that's all just guess work. Also what happens when you enable RecordingPath. cos nothing happened when I made it true.

anyways this post is probs making me look like the biggest nub ^^

Ingame write (if I'm not mistaken):
/run RecordPath()
then run around, you should get messages when waypoints are added.
After you're done, write this:
/run StopRecording()
Then if you want to run your path, write
/run RunWaypoints()

BTW, the GUI wont do shit. I once had a pretty GUI (I think you can see it in the SS thread) - but I deleted it on mistake, so I only had an older backup.

I'm certain it's possible to hack.

However the typical 'bypasses' are:
* Put the code in an addon instead
* Chain macros
* Use code-shortening tricks

IIrc theres also an addon called supermacro that allows like 1k (1023) chars of lua code in a macro (along with the normal 255) I think. Haven't played wow in a while so I don't remember.

haha works perfectly, thanks for this. Will give me something to work on when I finish exams

That addon used to just run your 'macros' as addons I think...

Also, afaik it stopped working a long time ago due to noone maintaining it.

Anyone who knows lua can ninja Maul @ WoWinterface Macaroon macro code

Just a thought that came off my mind.

Heh, didn't know about that addon, it's actually useful for my regular UI.

This addon may allow you to add longer macros, not 100 percent sure as I can't test it at this moment.

Wow, Cypher. Thanks. Since I downloaded this a few hours ago, I've made myself a healbot AddOn that accepts whisper commands, such as follow, buff, whatever...auto cycles through the members in your party and heals per guidelines set in the lua file. Drinks/Eats/Heals itself when mana is low...very, very nice. LUA is very powerful when you've got all of the functions (or most,) at your disposal. Though, I wasn't able to get any of the targeting functions to work, I took a detour ;P.

Haha yeah, the API is indeed quite powerful when the protection checks are disabled.

Three cheers for Blizzard and their gift to botters! Hip hip, hooray!

So, just to double check. Is there any interest at all for a PTR compatible version?

[Garry__]

I'd be very interested in a PTR version.

Thanks for all of this btw~
