Healer Bots hate necros

[CruelCahal]

Why wont any healer bots heal necro players past ~40%-45% hps?
No matter which stance you set your bots to, they will only heal your necro chars if their health falls below ~45% and then, they just ignore you. If your necro char is no longer taking damage in battle or if battle is already over, you will be left to heal yourself by whatever means you can try to come up with.
Only using "#bot healrotation start" repeatedly with your necro char set as the target will make healer bots heal your char beyond 47% health. OF course, you have to create a new rotation every time you zone, which is annoying.

Other spells, such as buffs, as cast on your necro chars without any problem, only getting heals is the issue.

[c0ncrete]

necros have tap spells to heal themselves and the bot spellcasting ai is coded to take that into account so as to not waste mana, especially since necros also have mana conversion spells that could possibly keep them below 100% health consistently.

Then you can just do #bot targheal and it'll heal your target.

[c0ncrete]

i'd suggest breaking out of the loop as soon as TargHealerClass == CLERIC, since that is what you're ultimately looking for. maybe add an option for specifying the bot (and maybe target) by name, so the group can more easily micro-manage targeted heals.

also, as it stands, what's to stop a necro from using the command in a panic and interrupting a cleric bot in the middle of a CHeal intended for the group's main tank (intentionally or not), since there are no checks for bot ownership or the type of spell currently being cast or the target? the code appears to assume that the person using the command knows what the bot is doing and the rest of the party doesn't mind them having the ability to override their bot's decision-making process. whoever hits the command last gets to direct the heal.

what about checking to see if the target to be healed can actually be healed by the bot?

note: you've defined DBtype and given it a value, but never used it.

[Randymarsh9]

All of the custom bot commands I have created and put into my server like this one are actually just modifications of commands that already existed in the source. I don't know very much about C++, so I am sure there a lots of ways the commands can be improved haha. It works, but I guess it is more useful on my server where it is designed for solo play, so you don't really have to worry about other group member.
