Heal Bot : EverQuest 2 Premium Discussions

I've been working on a heal bot that when it reads a tell from a player with a certain trigger (say it finds ????? in the logs) it casts a heal over time. When it sees the trigger "!!!!!" it casts a nuke, etc.

I can't seem to get an autoit script to read the logs correctly. It seems to hang up when it hits the end of file. Does anyone have a triggered script like this? I need it to continually read the logs (prefer it to purge the log when script starts and keep reading until it is shut down so new data is always being added). I think I am re-inventing the wheel and I wanted to check if anyone has a nice log parser that can just edit.

OR does anyone have a general idea on how I can work this to get it to work. I've been tinkering off and on for a week now and I want to find a way to make it work. When I get it working I'll share!

For bonus points I would like to have it heal whomever actually sends the tell, but without being able to use the /target <player> command in game this may not be doable.

Thanks ahead of time for anyone who can help!

I would encourage you to use the code created by dice as a base. It uses VBScript, which is a language about as close to real english that you can get. It parses the chat log, looking for a command string from a command character that you can set. You can view the thread here:

The code essentially does what you want it to already, and modifications are extremely easy in VBS.

Try EQ2MegaBot out - it can be a full features, flexible heal bot if you set it up as a BUFFBOT.
