Goals are the bread and butter of your bot's ability to manage your account. Unlike scripts, goals are "end result" actions to work towards, meaning you tell the bot what you want, and it will work on achieving that as it performs it's tasks. The thing to remember about goals is that they are not performed line by line in order. You can write most goals in any order you like and they will function the same. For example:

The above goals would work the same if you wrote them as:

Config goals (those with config whatever:[value] formats) can be combined one one line as well:

Notice in the above example, the npcheroes goal was not combined to the line with the config goals. While both types are goals, they will not work on the same line. The different types of goals are: Directives, Policies, and Config. As shown in the above examples, config goals can be joined together with a comma. Directives must be listed one per line, with the parameters after it. For example:

Policies must also be listed one per line. The formatting you will use for the parameters of a policy depend on the goal itself. For example:

It is important to notice that in policies and directives, that you must have a space between each type, as shown above. Typing it as /type:food/min:2d will not work! Whereas with config goals, it is just the opposite. Typing it as config npc: 1 will not work, because of the space after npc:

Certain config goals in the bot can be turned on and off with a 0 or 1. Still others have a 2 or higher number as an option. Each configuation goal will be explained in the guide later, but for general knowledge:

To be sure you are typing your goals correctly, view the usage and examples in this wiki, and write them exactly as you see them as far as spacing and symbols go.
