#bot taunt

[brasileira]

Any chance we can add a command #bot taunt, so the bot stop atacking whoever he is atacking and taunt whoever you had targeted when you say it?

Its annoying when i get 2/3 pulls and the tank only care about the 1st one.

actually I noticed quite opposite in bot behavior - it will taunt all the mobs around it, and then get back to first target. But only if those mobs have agro on him.
So if you are using a tank bot- send him first and let him get all the adds onto himself... given he can actualy survive that many

You could also try to tell it to attack the new target, and once it switches, and does a few hits, tell him to go to another target.

The bot guide covers this.

the problem is that with your "technique" will make the bot be summoned to my place and attack from there, making me, to run around the mob to attack it from behind.

So much easier to do a #bot taunt command.. isnt it?

Why does it need to be easier?

It's even easier to group with a real tank Regardless, the technique does what you need to do.

There are a number of commands that could be implemented to make bots better and it's not a bad idea to add #bot taunt target... but the reality is it's unlikely to happen very soon so I've suggested the next best thing for you to use. You say it's "easier" for the devs to add a bot command but I don't see how any of us can know that.

It isn't easier because all the bot coding customizations are pretty much done outside of this server (it is an EQEmu thing, not THF) and that would require custom coding which isn't exactly available at the moment (Secrets is either gone or MIA ... again).

just fyi, custom coding = Striat

[Arremis]

Striat FTW!!!

I would rather see a #botshutthefuckupandstoptaunting command myself.
