Release Chase v1.1.1

[aquietone]

aquietone submitted a new resource:

Chase - MQ2Nav based Lua for chasing a PC.

Chases the specified player using MQ2Nav, because who likes that pesky afollow. Not much else to it. It will chase if the chase distance is exceeded and you are not currently:
- Casting (unless you're a bard)
- Auto attack on
- AutoFire on
- Hovering (dead)
- Sticking to something
- Already nav'ing somewhere

Intended for use when running something without an available chase mode, or characters outside of group or some other situation where your only option is typically afollow. Don't try to...

Yes!

A very nice tool. would it be possible to add a command: /luachase minimize?

 

[Dragonslayer]

After I got used to it, I don't feel the need of a command to minimize anymore, as it seems the state is persistent. If I log out with the tool minimized it will be minimized on login.
It's really a tool which added a new pice of comfort for me, as there is no need to press "follow me" anymore after each zoning.
Ontop the chars don't get stuck anymore running through narrow caves.
I created 3 Buttons on Buttonmaster to launch, hold and resume chase and like the ease of using it.

This thing is freaking awesome for having my healer out of group. Afollow wil eff up his casting when they move. This waits, 5 out of 5 would use again!

the chase distance seems to work to trigger the nav, but then they run right into the character. Is there a way to make them keep their distance from the chase target?

 

[Granditos]

What hotkeys do you guys use for turning it on and off? /DGA /luachase pause on and then /DGA /luachase pause off?

 

[Dragonslayer]

- /luachase distance 20 I could find as a command
- /luachase stopdistance reports actual stop distance
- /luachase stopdistance 5 seems not yet inplemented
In narrow places I would like to be able to set the stop distance to 5
Any possibillity this could be added?

Anyway to add a command to set the stop distance without having to press the buttons

Setting stopdistance command was supposed to be there, just a typo.

Correct typo in stopdistance command

This command should now set the value instead of just getting the current value:
/luachase stopdistance 5

Well written code that saved me the time of writing this function into my Lua.

@aquietone Does this work on Lazarus? can't seem to get it to work

it should work fine on lazarus. it uses mq2nav, make sure you have nav meshes.

Hi there! I'm trying to help a friend setup this chase.Lua on a fresh MQ install. He's just starting and wanted a better autofollow. He has his MQ up and running and his MQ2nav accessing his meshes. His MQ2lua is loaded, but he is getting an odd error when he does /Lua run chase and I'm not sure if he's missing a plugin or not. I tried to take a look at what I'm using and what he's using and couldn't make the connection. The chase.Lua is working for me, but I have redguides.
