[SOURCE] Prospecting Bot/Addon For LuaNinja

[GliderPro]

I've started to mess around with LuaNinja and my first creation is a bot to prospect all my Saronite Ore. I works pretty well but it does have one known issue. Sometimes after it finishes a stack I think the bag data gets out of sync and it tries to target something invalid. You get an error message and it stops the bot. I'm going to work on fixing that next. Now on to the code...

DISCLAIMER: I don't write much Lua code so this might not be the best way to do this. Constructive comments are welcome...

Step #1 - Create a directory in your Interface/AddOns folder.

Step #2 - Create a file called bot1.toc and paste in the following code.

## Interface: 30200
## Title: Bot1
## Notes: Prospects your ore.
## Dependencies: 
bot1.lua
bot1.xml

Step #3 - Create a file called bot1.xml and paste in the following code.

<Ui xmlns="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/" 
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/ 
 ..\..\FrameXML\UI.xsd">

  <Script File="bot1.lua"/>
  <Frame name="Bot1Frame">
    <Scripts>
      <OnLoad function="Bot1_OnLoad"/>
      <OnEvent function="Bot1_OnEvent"/>
    </Scripts>
  </Frame>
</Ui>

Step #4 - Create a file called bot1.lua and paste in the following code.

Bot1_CurrentlyProspecting = false;

function Bot1_OnLoad()
  print("Bot1_OnLoad");
	this:RegisterEvent("VARIABLES_LOADED");
	this:RegisterEvent("LOOT_CLOSED");
end

function Bot1_OnEvent(self, event, ...)
  local eventPrefix, eventSuffix = event:match("^(.-)_?([^_]*)$");

  if event == "LOOT_CLOSED" then
    if Bot1_CurrentlyProspecting == true then
      for bag = 0,4,1 do 
        for slot = 1, GetContainerNumSlots(bag), 1 do 
          local name = GetContainerItemLink(bag,slot); 
          if name and string.find(name,"Saronite Ore") then 
            local texture, itemCount, locked, quality, readable = GetContainerItemInfo(bag,slot);
            if not locked then
              if itemCount >= 5 then
                CastSpellByName("Prospecting")
                if( SpellIsTargeting() ) then
                  UseContainerItem(bag,slot);
                end
                return
              end
            end
          end
        end
      end  
      -- didn't find anything to prospect
      Bot1_CurrentlyProspecting = false;
      DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Finished prospecting."); 
    end
  end

end

SLASH_BOT11 = '/bot1';
local function bot1_handler(msg, editbox)
  DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Prospecting...");
  
  for bag = 0,4,1 do 
    for slot = 1, GetContainerNumSlots(bag), 1 do 
      local name = GetContainerItemLink(bag,slot); 
      if name and string.find(name,"Saronite Ore") then 
        local texture, itemCount, locked, quality, readable = GetContainerItemInfo(bag,slot);
        if not locked then
          if itemCount >= 5 then
            Bot1_CurrentlyProspecting = true;
            CastSpellByName("Prospecting")
            if( SpellIsTargeting() ) then
              UseContainerItem(bag,slot);
            end
            return
          end
        end
      end
    end
  end  
end

SlashCmdList["BOT1"] = bot1_handler;

Just type "/bot1" to kick off the bot.

Just make this macro:

/cast Prospecting
/use [Insert stuff]
/in 2.5 /run RunMacro(1)

Much easier than an addon.

True for that one simple task. On the other hand a macro isn't going to path to the auction house, buy mats, path to the mailbox, craft stuff, disenchant stuff, path back to the auction house and sell stuff...

Thanks, this is cool

A macro script has been blocked from an action only availble to the Blizzard UI

nice macro! GG :wave:

If this addon works, so should the macro. Are you even using LUANinja? /facepalm
