How to make it so there's a radius for where it can walk?

[ghost]

I've tried looking up many different open/closed issues revolved around having a predefined area for which the bot can roam around. I've had some luck I guess... Right now i've taken out :
{
"type": "MoveToFort",
"config": {
"lure_attraction": true,
"lure_max_distance": 2000
}
},
{
"type": "FollowSpiral",
"config": {
"diameter": 4,
"step_size": 70
}
}

and replaced it with:
{
"type": "FollowPath",
"config": {
"path_mode": "loop",
"path_start_mode": "first",
"path_file": "configs/path.example.json" }
}
and so far its working well. but I like having the bot go to the nearest poke stop. So is there a step by step someone can give me for setting a radius to, like, a mile, for instance? While having him go to the nearest pokestops automatically? Thanks.

Also here is my config file..

Try putting the MoveToFort task below FollowPath task and giving some loiter time at the respective path stops

[Lntnam]

The problem is that loiter only limit it by number of seconds, still lacking the ability to limit bot roaming by distance (e.g. radius)

[alexyaoyang]

@lntn That sounds like a feature request, you should create a new issue. @philzeey You can still try my suggestion for now.

[ghost]

Alright I'll give it a shit @alexyaoyang

The bot used to have max # of cells, but it was taken out. I use follow path so I'm guessing, but I think the idea is you can use avoid circle set to a good # with spiral to limit your range.

[mjmadsen]

We have a feature request up for staying in a limited area. #3580

[mjmadsen]

I find a lower max_circle or disabled avoid_circles works decently with the base config. Apart from that and the solutions provided here, not much else we can say until the above mentioned FR gets finished.
