Hi pro scripters

[Talis]

Hey Guys,

Finally i Run my First Script .
I m really proud.
But there are some Points i dont understand

- Node : what means that i m Not sure.

- Number of Nodes : in m First Script (bb Island ) i got around 11 nodes for the complete Walk.
In Other scripts there are Many more nodes

- how work nodes: is it just a Way where to go or what ?

Would be Nice when i get the anwers!


Thx Guys!

Nodes are simply waypoints for your bot to walk between, a node makes the bot not need to stand in an exact square, it can be within a range of the node(not sure what range) more nodes simply imply a bigger spawn.

So Node .. Moving .... Node he Walks around right ?

Yep. nodes make him move from one node to another

When you make a node, it has a range, if your node range is set to 1, you will definitely stand within 1 square of that node, for example:

Node 123, 123, 7

You might stand on any of these squares:
122, 122, 7
123, 122, 7
124, 122, 7
122, 123, 7
123, 123, 7
124, 123, 7
122, 124, 7
123, 124, 7
124, 124, 7

Or on a map it might look like this:

XXXXX
XOOOX
XONOX
XOOOX
XXXXX

Where your Node is "N", you will definitely stand stand on at least one "N" or "O". If your node range is 2 would be like this:

XXXXXXX
XOOOOOX
XOOOOOX
XOONOOX
XOOOOOX
XOOOOOX
XXXXXXX

Nodes are safer than stands, because they are more variable and do not create such strong patterns.

Where can I change the range of nodes? The nodes in walker have only 3 variables (=coordinates) and I can't find the range :s
This would be great to know cuz for example in outside orc fortress the area is so big you can make node ranges = 3 without having a problem. Makes the script and the botter less detectable

[Infernal Bolt]

Isn't nodes range already 3?

[Stusse]

Isn't nodes range already 3?

That's what I heard also... not sure though

A node defines a tile on your path which can be looked at from a dynamic point of view. While it approaches nodes similar to stands, it has a few behavioral changes:

1. If you're chasing or running from a creature, and you pass within 3 sqm of a node, it is marked as reached.
2. If you stop within 3 sqm of a node to loot, attack, heal, or anything else, it will continue to the next node.
3. If there's no outside factors stopping you within 3 sqm of the node, it will be treated like a stand waypoint.

Maybe a bit offtopic but this is about server side detection of bots using waypoint analysis. Thought it might be interesting:
