Combat Scripts

matthewf978

Is anyone familiar with any games which offer clients with the capability to create combat scripts based on relative organization of threats about the player?

For example, if I have both melee and ranged attacks I might use a script to begin with ranged attacks and automatically switch to melee when the threat arrives at some proximity to my character. To take it a step farther I might use a plethora of various ranged attacks such as debuffs and physical attacks.

Another example, many games have a threat consider command. Any games with scripts that will allow me to plow through threats which are significantly small compared to my relative level. The interface should allow me to specify criteria such as level/skill of threat for threshold or threat mobile name for matching.

Preferrably, the game would allow for multiple scripts simultaneously with each criteria having priority which dictates the appropriate script to apply in any given situation. Again, I should be the one to specify the priority.

The significance of a scripting engine goes along with the notion that after x number of hours grinding in a given zone a player becomes familiar with the mechanics attached to it. Once I am no longer interested in concerning myself with the redundant actions I would implement a script to carry out those routines.

Why even start a game if all you are going to do is automate gameplay?

I don't think that's the idea grunty.  I think that what he's trying to do is have a different result for an attack based upon the target character's position as relative to your own character's position.

For instance, let's say you have a character that's a samurai.  You've got your robes, your katana, and you have your hair done up in a way that makes it look like the greens on top of a pineapple.  Then a ninja jumps out and lands behind you.  You quickly target him and press a given attack button, and instead of doing a simple scripted attack, the character's attack would be based upon where the opponent is.  In this instance, your Samurai would pull out his sword, and stab under his arm at the near-by ninja, before turning to face him.

That is, if I understand this correctly.

The way it sounds to me is you want a game that allows you to bot?

Theres only one game I know of that allows you to bot and thats a crappy korean game, sorry I forget the name.
