Conditional statements in scenarios

[BrazzyParticipant]

I’d like to create complex scenarios like gather every ingredient of a meal in a real safe way.
Like: go to place “A” gather “X” 20 times -> if time xyz (lets say dont have to w8 more than 10 minutes for the node) gather timed node else afk 1-10min -> go to place “B” gather “Y” 20 times so on so on…

Is there any chance something like that will be available ? Would be real nice 🙂

Have you tried running out a scenario in the current patch EW? What you ask is currently doable.

“A” gather “X” 20 times

teleportif(AREA)
grid
gathering rotation
gather (20) – for 20 times gather in that area alone

afkuntil or workuntil (time) for afk time.

Add new scenario for the next item then repeat.

What they ask is not currently doable, since they’d like to do one of two different things based on the time. In their example, they said “if time xyz gather timed node else afk” – that’s not possible, no. There is currently no way to test conditions and follow different paths based on them; the only form of conditional is the teleportIf (teleportIfNotThere) function, which will teleport to the listed aetheryte unless you’re already in the destination zone.

Conditionals and advanced flow control have been requested and are, IIRC, planned updates for an indeterminate future date.

Another good example of a good conditional if it’s possible would be if a collectable is caught, identical catch immediately after. Not sure how difficult that would be to code however.

I’ve been hoping and asking for simple conditionals, even if it were
if (x) jump to chapter x

That would make this bot extremely powerful.
