ability problem

MacroN00b · Post by **MacroN00b** » Sun Dec 07, 2003 9:05 am

anyone know how I can find out if a ability is usable?

I tried stuff like $char(ability,8)

8 for backstab.. but it wont tell me if up or down.. just tells me which ability 8 is..

help would be appreciated.. thanx

/if n $target(distance)<11 /if n $char(ability,"Backstab")>0 /doability "Backstab"

Checks to see if you're within BS'ing range, then BS's only once in range. Put it in your main attack loop.

that wont check to see if his ability is up or not tho...
but it will spam with backstabs

/if n $char(ability,"Backstab")>0 /doability Backstab

add a timer:

Code: Select all

/declare BStime global
/declare Timeleft timer
/varset BStime 5s
/varset Timeleft @BStime



/if @Timeleft==0 {
/doability Backstab
/varset Timeleft @BStime
}

dont bother with a timer and crap like that for doing an ability....

takes up resources for nothing

Heh yes it will check to see if his ability is up. Look closely at the code

Midnight,

Code: Select all

/if n $char(ability,"Backstab")>0

The above doesn't actually check if the button is refreshed and ready for use. It only checks to see if you have an ability button called "Backstab".

Now, do you want to rethink that answer.....?

Yep. You're right. My apologies

>0 means it's ready, # corresponds to it's button assignment
-1 means it's ready, but doesn't have a button assigned
-2 means it's not ready yet

doesnt seem to work for combat abilities

ap50,
Were you referring to my answer? If so, I'd tested this with Slam. If Backstab returns different results from Slam then I'm in error.

ml2517, SLAM DO NOT WORKS. At the moment we can't find the right offset for slam. Every other ability works as GD says. I use it all time with my bots.

when I type ingame: /echo $char(ability,8)
I get as resault: "Backstab" no matter weather the skill is usable or not..
when I type ingame: /echo $char(ability,Backstab)
I get as resault: "8" weather its up or not..

am I doing something wrong? Infact its not so bad about backstab I just spam that but would like it to work for Hide.

Thanx for all the help so far
