pretarget or prerender?

hey im not sure what i would use pretarget or prerender to my function tocheck if is a valid target an is monster and check my invo to see if the to be used it in the bag or not .

 heres what i have so far

Sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation. This should do:

windower.register_event('target change', function(target_index)
    local target = windower.ffxi.get_mob_by_nidex(target_index)
    if not target or target.name ~= "Sturdy Pyxis" then
        return
    end
 
    windower.chat.input("/item \"Forbidden Key\" <t>")
end)

i wonder if there is a way to tell if the box is open or not??

windower.register_event('target change', target_change)

 

windower.register_event('incoming text', function(old,new,color,newcolor)   

    if proc ~= 0 then

        local play = windower.ffxi.get_player()

        if play and string.find(old,(play.name).. '\'sopens the chest%p') then  -- idk the real text that owuld pop after opening the chest

            local targ = windower.ffxi.get_mob_by_target('t')

            local ltarg = windower.ffxi.get_mob_by_target('lastst')

            if targ then

                for k, v in ipairs(openned) do

                    if v == targ.id and ltarg then

                        targ = ltarg

                    end

                end

            elseif ltarg then

                targ = ltarg

            end

            table.insert(openned, targ.id)

            target_change()

            windower.send_ipc_message('add'..targ.id)

        end

 

 

 

welcome back acron hope you had fun on your vacation

i was thinking about there being something in windower.ffxi.get_mob_by_index(target_index) that might have the whether its locked or unlocked

im not saying it cant be done watching incoming chat but then you you would have to remove things from a table as the chests disappears

mind you i have not looked at windower.ffxi.get_mob_by_index(target_index) when opening boxes in aby

        return

    windower.chat.input("/item \"Forbidden Key\" <t>")
end)

ahhh yes lol i finally got to test this out acron it works like a charm!!! 

There isn't. You also can't just watch the chatlog, since you won't know which chest the message belongs to. You'll have to look for packets and watch the animation change.

any suggestions on some developer tools for doing that i've some programming injava and C/C++ but dealing with packets is stillpretty new

Arcon has a PacketViewer addon for this kind of thing. It has quite a few features; logging to file, scanning for known values, nice color-coded on-screen hex dump for known packet types, etc. If you need help using it you'll probably be best served by asking Arcon directly on IRC, but if you'd like to try and figure it out yourself, the command handler starts on line 603.
