Bot no staying around first coordinate

[Brainarea]

Expected Behavior

Id like my bot to stay within let's say a circle of X km.

Actual Behavior

Bot keeps roaming all over the city

Your config.json (remove your credentials and any other private info)

  {
    "type": "SpinFort"
  },
  {
    "type": "MoveToFort",
    "config": {
        "lure_attraction": true,
        "lure_max_distance": 2000
    }
  },
  {
      "type": "FollowCluster",
      "config": {
      "radius": 0.6,
      "lured": true
    }
  }

@Orchid666 I think you the radius value is too low. Try 20 or so.

[Brainarea]

I tried many radius values, including big ones and it wont change anything, I dont see why increasing the radius would make my bot stay within a certain area

[ripzery]

What is the unit of radius value? km or metre?

[joaodragao]

Because in the code, the default value is 50. and it is checked with find_biggest_cluster function also.

[joaodragao]

@rpzery I think it's km.

[ripzery]

Is radius 1 km work?

[Brainarea]

Nope, I wonder if those values use the updated location as reference and not the very first coordinate.

[joaodragao]

@ripzery I'll test it.

[Brainarea]

@joaodragao @ripzery That was my previous value before i tried 0.6. Same outcome.

[DiegoRBaquero]

I'm just going to point out that the cluster example config does not have MoveToFort task. Maybe try removing it?

[joaodragao]

@Orchid666 What @DiegoRBaquero said may be correct.

[DiegoRBaquero]

I tested the cluster config (no MoveToFort) and it stays in the same position. Also, it seems the radius is in meters. [13:27:46] Arrived at cluster. 1 are in a range of 500m radius. (I have the setting in 500)

[Brainarea]

That is some very useful information Diego. Thanks!

[Brainarea]

Well i dont think its possible to stay within the same area. Removing Movetofort logically prevent the bot to move to the next fort. Everything seems to be calculated according to current coordinates and not very first coordinates.

[DiegoRBaquero]

@Orchid666 It does move when required but it stays in the best possible cluster of lured forts. The radius is relative to current location, not initial coords.

[Brainarea]

Yes, thats what i said, there is currently no way to have the bot stay within a fixed area.

[DiegoRBaquero]

You could use the path config

[Brainarea]

True, but that would make my bot go from point A to point B then get point B Fort and thats it.
Basically, I just want to make my bot stay in a park and explore all the Forts there, because parks are usually very dense places. I could set a path config with every fort out there but that would take days to copy all coordinates...

[DiegoRBaquero]

You can use Google maps

What do you mean i could use google maps? Im using google maps, im just saying that there are so many coordinates that it would take days to copy them all

[Brainarea]

Maybe i should make a pull request for that feature? :)

[RedViper9]

You can do this to some extent if you use the MoveToMapPokemon option with "update_map": false,. Your bot's location won't get pushed to the map and you can drop the pin wherever you want the bot to go. It will still nab any pokemon on the way, and spin forts, but will stay in the general area of your pin. Area can be manipulated using the number of steps that the map searches.

[Brainarea]

@RedViper9 Thanks for the suggestion, but im kind of new, is there any doc available about that?
