[AutoIt] Problem with SetRotation and Walking

[spudstar99]

Hello,

my Problem is the following

i read the x y z and rotation stuff from memory

then i calculate the distance and the needed rotation

then i write the rotation (to the target) into the memory

_SetRotation($Handle,$pBase, $RotNeeded)

Func _SetRotation ($Handle,$pBase, $RotNeeded)
	_BMWriteMemory($Handle, $pBase + $UnitRotation, $RotNeeded, "float")	
EndFunc

$UnitRotation = 0x7A8

pBase is the player base and bla


now the bot looks at the target all the time and tries to walk there but he doesn't .. the bot just look at it and runs in the former direction

i tried to stop the walking process before the _setRotation
but this didn't helped

is there maybe a little thing that i miss ?!

thanks for reading

didnt really get that, so basicly it walks over target without stopping and looks at the mob all the time?

[spudstar99]

the bot tries to reach the target

but he faces the old direction


an example

if i log in the rotations is 10

the target is at rotation 15

now the bot change the rotation to 10 so that ingame it looks like the bot looks at the target at 10

but still runs to 15


thats the problem .. hopefully i explained it better now

unfortunaly i'm not a nativ speaker

thanks for reading

You need to 'nudge' ure toon either left or right if ure raping the HRotation or only the model will turn.
Or you could call SetFacing instead

[spudstar99]

setfacing is that the Lua function for this?!

i think to enable Lua commands i need some fancy ASM stuff and i don't have that...

if this is a value of the player i have to search harder

but thanks .. maybe you give me an asskick and then i see the hole thing

Calculate the average radians turned by sending a left arrow down, left arrow up keystroke to the WoW window, then set your facing that many radians to the right of the target and have your program tap the left button. It's a shitty way to do it, but it will save you from having to call engine functions (with that ASM stuff that you don't have).

[spudstar99]

so i should just set my Rotation to the value of a for example "left down" and "left up"

will test this tomorrow .. thanks all for fast response

I mean, say you're using Send() or ControlSend() to send a simple tap of the left arrow key to WoW, and you find that it rotates you 0.367 radians to the left whenever you Send("{LEFTDOWN}{LEFTUP}"). Say you want to face rad 2.582, you would write to your character's facing address 2.215f (which is 2.582 - 0.367) and then tap the left button using Send("{LEFTDOWN}{LEFTUP}").

Somehow, I think you don't understand what we're talking about. When you simply write your rotation to memory without updating your character's rotation with a hardware event, your character model has its rotation changed but the game still thinks you're facing the same way you WERE facing. By writing a rotation that is just to the right of where you want to face and tapping the left arrow key, you cause it to update your true facing because you trigger a hardware event, all while keeping the added benefit of near-instantaneous turning.

Again, I will stress that you need to find out how many radians are rotated by using Send("{LEFTDOWN}{LEFTUP}"). My 0.367 was just an example. You need to actually figure this out for yourself, I'm just giving you the theory behind something I believe should work and get you what you want.

Just an idea, but on the AutoIt forums, Malu05 (dont remember if he is on this board or what, havent been here too long) did a travel bot. It used the mouse to hold down the rightbutton and move the character until the facing was correct. I don't write stuff to memory and have just started playing with this memory stuff, so if the nudge stuff seems clunky for you, you could try that. I personally havent played with it.

@Shynd

ok now i got it

i read something about to "refresh" the ne radiation with movementkeys but i ever read something with forward key.

thanks alot and yes you shouldn't do my work yeah thats right ... but sometimes i'm that blind and clueless about such situation and so i ask the "experienced" user if they have a clue

ok have a nice day

i will try this when i come from work

@xwinterx
i know malus bot but i don't want to use mouse for turning but thanks for the info

Per Send("{Left down}{Left up}") you rotate by 0.31730079650879

Enjoy
