Bot Data Buckets

  • Bot data buckets allow Server Operators to limit the spells a Bot will cast based on different data bucket comparisons and the bucket name and value provided.

Using Bot Data Buckets

  • To use a Bot Data Bucket you will need to set the bucket_name, bucket_value, and bucket_comparison fields in the bot_spells_entries table for your intended spell.

How the Data Buckets are Used

  • Data Buckets used by the Bot use a bucket_key-bucket_name format.
  • Meaning if your Bot ID is 7 and the bucket name is test your Data Bucket Key will be bot-7.

  • If the Data Bucket's name is test the Bot will attempt to find a Data Bucket called bot-7-test.

  • The Bot will also use it's Owners Data Buckets to provide additional flexability.

  • Meaning if your Character ID is 9 and the bucket name is test your Data Bucket Key will be character-9.

  • If the Data Bucket's name is test the Bot will attempt to find a Data Bucket called character-9-test.

  • The Bot grabs all of their Data Buckets, along with the owner's Data Buckets when spawned and then compares values to the field values noted above.

Comparison Types

  • Bot Data Buckets have 10 different comparison types.

Standard Comparison Types

  • There are six standard comparison types.
    • 0 (==) checks your value and the Bot value for equality
    • 1 (!=) checks your value and the Bot value for inequality
    • 2 (>=) checks if your value is greater than or equal to the Bot value
    • 3 (<=) checks if your value is lesser than or equal to the Bot value
    • 4 (>) checks if your value is greater than the Bot value
    • 5 (<) checks if your value is lesser than the Bot value

Special Comparsion Types

  • There are four special comparison types.
  • These values are pipe | separated.
    • 6 (Any) checks if your value is any of the pipe-separated Bot values (Example: 1|2|3)
    • 7 (Not Any) checks if your value is not any of the pipe-separated Bot values (Example: 4|5|6)
    • 8 (Between) checks if your value is between two pipe-separated Bot values (Example: 1|3)
    • 9 (Not Between) checks if your value is not between two pipe-separated Bot values (Example: 4|6)
