I can't remember, are Bot formations implimented or on the ToDo list?

I found the function in the code, you can disregard my post. But I believe this should be working.

Once your group is full, you want to create a raid :
#bot raid create

Then, you have to create other groups :
You spawn one of your bot, when done you target him and do:
#bot raid group create

That will show the entity's name of the leader of the new created group.
Then you spawn other bots. You must target them and do :
#bot raid invite bot <group_leader_name>

6 bots per group.

Then, if you want to have a maintank. You target him and do:
#bot raid order maintank

If you want to give order the other groups, you have to use the command :
#bot raid order task attack/follow/assist/guard <group leader entity's name>.

At any moment, if you need info about your raid :
#bot raid info

I have started the ever frightening Wakka for Bots. I'll throw together a quick opener page in a sec, but wanted to get some of these commands posted so others can add/change them. I do not know much about the Raid functions yet, so I basically guessed.

Thanks for that John. That's something I've projected to do in the future but I didn't have the time.

Damilis> What are bot formations ?

[Blakine]

Thanks Mag, I figured it out. It's working great both groups and raids!

Instead of all the Bots stacking on top of each other, they are offset by a few preprogrammed dX and dY such as to make a formation ( circle, line, flying V, etc)

I kept running into a problem with the Iksar Bots stacking right on top of me and not allowing me to click anything other than them. (IE go to click on a Mob or corpse and all I get is my Bot, can't select ANYTHING else.)

[Magoth78]

Ok, well no, there are no bot formations actually.

[Damilis]

Any way to get something of the sort added to the to-do list? Or atleast something to disperse them away from being stacked right on top of the Player?

Also, I dunno if its a bug or just not implimented correctly yet, but when two actual players are in a group and someone adds a Bot, the Bot doesnt show up in the Group list to anyone else but the person who added it and shortly there after the zone crashes. Anyone else have this issue?

[John Adams]

You could use the "guard" comment to get your bots to stand back from you. This is how I got out of my monk standing on my face.

As for multiplayer, Mag has said a number of times this is not yet supported. I cannot find the post, but yes I saw the exact same thing.
