Is it possible to check if you're moving in a certain direction? Are there values returned differently from the movement functions or some kind of IsMovingLeft();, etc function in the API? I suppose that's what I was really looking for. +Rep anyone.

In case someone can't find it, I suppose I could macro all my directional keys with something like MoveLeft = 1; and then check then each in the function. Though that would be problematic is it wouldn't reset when I stopped moving. I suppose I could use a G15 macro to do some kind of check.

There is no API function to determine if your player is moving in a specific direction based on a movement key being held down.

The only way for you to track this would probably be to secure hook the corresponding functions and record in a variable when they are called:

• JumpOrAscendStart() -> AscendStop()
• SitStandOrDescendStart() -> DescendStop();
• MoveForwardStart() -> MoveForwardStop();
• MoveBackwardStart() -> MoveBackwardStop();
• StrafeLeftStart() -> StrafeLeftStop();
• StrafeRightStart() -> StrafeRightStop();
• TurnLeftStart() -> TurnLeftStop();
• TurnOrActionStart() -> TurnOrActionStop(); (this is a mouse movement, like click-to-move)
• TurnRightStart() -> TurnRightStop();

hello it's me again ...

just weired ...

sometime my RunMacro"Macroname" works sometimes not.

mostly when i have a

if (controllcooldown(spell)) then castspellbyname("spell") else runmacro"macroname" end

can maybe post someone how he calls the next macro in such a situation?!


thank you in advance ...

*****

Found solution .. just rename your macros ... don't know realy why .. but now it works

thanks

You writing a bot or something?

[Cypher]

Quick question. Is a version of this that works on the PTR of any interest or should I just keep it to the live patches?

[Iaccidentallytwink]

Lol would it be possible (even plausible?) to write a bot entirely in lua, using this?

I'm actually attempting to do just that. I'm not only using macros though, I'm using the G15 + LUA Macros. It should be completely possible this way. Eventually I plan to make an Addon bot.

EDIT: A leveling bot may not be completely plausible with only LUA, but for PvP and PvE it should be entirely possible, almost easy.

Writing any (decent) bot is going to be hard without a form of object iteration

[lanman92]

Just register a callback into lua that calls EnumVisibObjects. With some internals knowledge on lua, you could do that without too much trouble. Though, this would no longer be JUST and addon/macro/etc.

Well, I just want to make a PvP bot. As long as I can make a set of combat rotation macro's that respond to enemy combat that are completely automated, I'd be happy with making a bot that runs a recorded path into the WSG flagroom and out with the flag that would respond to enemy combat. Not exactly a full bot, but it would get the job done.

I think that should be possible without custom callbacks... However I've never tried and I don't know enough about the API to know 100%.

Are we talking about an unattended bot here or semi attended or fully attended?

Definitely not fully attended, otherwise I might as well just do all the running myself (I'm an expert WSG jumper), and have it just combat for me.

But I'm talking about at least semi-unattended.

Fair enough. Afaik that should be possible.. However, again, I'm not 100% sure.

Is there a way to remove the letter limit on macros?

[Cypher]

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

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
