[solved] Is Lootable

[grosfilsdepute]

Hello!

I'm using this code snippet to see if an unit is lootable or not:

        public bool IsLootable
        {
            get { return Convert.ToBoolean(Memory.Instance.MemoryReader.Read<uint>(new IntPtr(
                        m_ObjectDescriptor + Offsets.UNIT_DYNAMIC_FLAGS)) & 0x0D); }
        }

Ripped off BabBot, but it doesn't seem to work. It's always returning true even if the mob cannot be looted.

Any ideas ? Thanks for everything.

Maybe you should see how that function and that descriptor work.

I don't know what to say.

        private enum UnitDynamicFlags
        {
            None = 0,
            Lootable = 0x1,
            TrackUnit = 0x2,
            TaggedByOther = 0x4,
            TaggedByMe = 0x8,
            SpecialInfo = 0x10,
            Dead = 0x20,
            ReferAFriendLinked = 0x40,
            IsTappedByAllThreatList = 0x80,
        }

        public bool IsLootable
        {
            get { return Convert.ToBoolean(Memory.Instance.MemoryReader.Read<uint>(new IntPtr(
                        m_ObjectDescriptor + Offsets.UNIT_DYNAMIC_FLAGS)) & 1); }
        }

Uhm. I'm pretty sure that means you should use:

Convert.ToBool((retnval) & 0x29);

For TaggedByMe, Dead, Lootable. Not sure if you have to use all or just lootable in case that it only returns for local char. Just screw around with it and you might learn more.

corpse might not be TaggedByMe but lootable

You can test the lootable flag and you can also keep a list of all mobs you have attacked (and killed). Once you are out of combat, sort your list of mobs by distance (or use a simple connected graph) to built a route to loot all of the corpses. Stick the corpse GUID into the CTM GUID or current target GUID, move close to the corpse, and then interact with the target (CTM->Loot) or send interact key press (whatever you set that as in your key bindings). Once you have looted the corpse, you can remove it from your lootable list.

You can also, if you are in a party, get the party member list and any time a mob targets the GUID of one of your party members, record that too, once you are out of combat, check that the mob is dead, and then check for lootable status (this can change based on loot preferences in the party), and loot if appropriate.

Relying just on the lootable flag can get tricky in anything but the most simplistic of situations.

Thanks for this complete answer. I'm rewriting parts of my bot now.

If you want to get really snazzy, you can check where the mob died, and see if it is surrounded by other (currently alive) mobs and therefore, not safely lootable. This can happen if you have a patrolling group of mobs, or just managed to get off a lucky shot.

If the corspse is too close, ignore looting it for now and leave it for later.

Time stamping the unit's corpse in your lootable list will let you expire the corpse from the lootable list if you haven't been able to get close within a preset time limit, e.g. five minutes.

This functionality provides the facility of not dieing quite so often when running your bot. It is also very useful if your bot runs through dungeons, or works within a party, as the last thing you want is your bot running off to loot something that might pull another group or the boss.

This is essentially how my multiboxing "bot" works, (not really a bot in the classic sense as it is meant to aid the human player, not supplant them) ensuring that extra mobs aren't pulled until everyone has recuperated from the last fight.

For the searchers, or for those who can't get a proper working loot function, here is how I make it. It's not perfect but it works fine.

I'm not using CTM loot because it doesn't work as expected, the player is bending down but it's not getting items.

Before the loot and when the combat is finished (the mob died), I'm checking if the mob is lootable.

So, I'm making this by writing in the player target GUID (for the current version 3.2.2a: 0x113D7A the GUID of the last killed. EmilyStrange explained this in her post. And I'm pressing the key "Interact with target". I'm always checking if the lootframe is opened so, I'm pressing another time the key "Interact with target" and I'm waiting 1 second. The loot is finished.

Hope this helps. Feel free to comment.
