Bot should pause/slow down when its raining near his coordinates

[apinela]

Short Description

This bot is meant to be the most human-like possible, why not try to simulate a pause/slow down outside while its raining near the coords he is moving.

Possible solution

Using the random pauses type, linked it with a openweather provider, we could trigger a pause while the weather provider reports bad weather near the coordinates, it would be configurable like "pauseIfRaining" or "pauseIfBadWeather", there could be some kind of setpoints for define this kind of bad weather.

How it would help others

This won't actually avoid the bot being detected, unless Niantic does some kind of pattern analysis with weather cross data, but it would make the bot behaves more like a human on that situations.

I really can't see the purpose of this. They won't be factoring weather into bot detection as there'll still be players who go out in all sorts of weather.

All this would be doing is adding an unneeded level of complexity.

No reason why it can't be a feature request though, I'd be surprised if anyone wanted to implement it though. Let's see if anyone replies :)

No problem with this remaining to be a FR, but I imagine this will hang around for quite some time.

The bot should also walk slower during sales since there is obviously more people in the street during these days.
And we should be able to query any event website to check whether Justin Bieber has a concert around, cause streets are truly not practicable when it happen, so bot should stop walking.

Hmmm, the sarcasm is strong in this one LOL

Sorry, this is too extreme for even the next 6 months worth of work. Plus the amount of work they would have to do to determine such things and consider them conclusive for bans is... unlikely to happen.
