Stoping Auto Attack

[Isnewbie]

Is there a way to have ogre stop auto attack, whether it's melee or range without deselecting the mob?

Front page (Settings), second column, half way down [X] Turn off attack.
This will turn your attack off if you do not have something to kill.

 

[Isnewbie]

I meant while actively in combat.

 

[Kannkor]

hmm... I think I'd need a bit more info...
Cause if you are asking if I can make the bot randomly stop attacking in combat... I suspect that wouldn't be very beneficial

 

[Isnewbie]

I want my guys to stop attacking completely when a boss throw up a dmg shield. Disabling ca cast stack helps with this, but sometime they still get unlucky and die to the dmg shield.

Wouldn't targeting yourself/tank accomplish the same task?

 

[Isnewbie]

Some mob requires you to stay on target to dispel mana drain etc.

 

[Eyedea]

Which mob? Cause I'm drawing a blank...

 

[Kannkor]

I have various options in Ogrebot that do various things... Yes I realize that is quite vague... but not sure I've ever come to a mob where I couldn't attack him but had to keep him mana drained.

Anyways... I can make MCP/API options for not having any offensive abilities go off, but that will prevent mana drains... as they are offensive.

If you want to give a more specific example of what you're trying to do with exactly what mob/etc, it would be easier to assist...

Basically like in Krelitz contested, The mob in there requires you to stop attacking while reflect is up. I have been Looking at ways to control bots like this but have failed miserably they end up killing themselves. Pause on the MCP doesn't seem to work they just go nuts, i tried many things and still the stubborn toons do as they please.

Just stop targetting the mob with your tank.

Set up dps to auto target the prison thing, and then have tank in auto target list after that.

Prison dies, nobody damages named, job done.

that did not work for me mob hits instantly retargets everyone dies.

also on a different fight in an older zone i decided to go there where i knew of a stop dps mob to run tests and try to figure it out.
i tried all kinds of random techniques before running out of idea's, also watching the healer and found that on a heal sometimes they will get the one shot death result as well hmm. to ad there isn't a quik edit button like this.
StopAll
tanks stoneskin
stop all
8 seconds.

I feel like I'm extremely confused... Is this a secret mob? If you can tell us the name of the mob we may be able to better provide suggestions. So far I just don't understand what you're trying to do at all, so I can't really offer any help.

I've never done, and likely will never support contested content, so I can't really comment on the mechanics of Krelitz. That's a good way to get sent to drunder.
