Complete PlayerBot Guide — Sinmeowgra Realm

This guide is designed to help players get the most out of PlayerBot on the server. It covers addons, basic commands, party and raid setup, combat strategies, looting, quests, pets, macros, and the current raid completion status when using bots.

With this guide, you can manage your bots more easily, neatly, and effectively, whether you are questing, running dungeons, raiding, or simply playing casually.

PlayerBot Updates

Updated 19:05 30/05/2026

Players are reporting that there were error within the playerbot system that cause its function not optimal, some of the workaround/things you can do to fix it incase you are encountered one while using playerbot are listed as bellow.

Command Shorten Command Function/Description
.playerbot bot makethemmine .playerb bot mtm

If player cant control their bot, use this command.

It is very suitable to apply when your own playerbots were being controlled or moving owner as the scripting's mistake.
.playerbot bot recall .playerb bot recall

If playerbots feels stuck and cannot be controlled or given commands, run this command and those bot will be in a reset state and visit its own master automatically.

1. PlayerBot Addons

MultiBot

MultiBot is a multifunctional addon created by Macx-Lio. It is designed to help players control their PlayerBots more easily. The addon supports many common commands and is especially useful for managing bots in parties and raids.

Note: The official MultiBot version is currently inactive and no longer actively maintained. For now, it is recommended to use the alternative version maintained by Wishmaster117 for better functionality.

Unbot

Unbot is the original PlayerBot addon that was first used to control bots. It is no longer actively maintained, but it can still be used as a reference.

 

2. PlayerBot Command Basics

PlayerBot responds to commands sent through chat. Addons such as MultiBot and Unbot already handle many common commands, but in some situations you may still need to type commands manually.

There are two main bot types you should understand:

Bot Type Description
Altbot A character manually created by a player on a normal account, then controlled as a bot.
Rndbot A bot automatically generated by the system. Rndbots can manage their own gear, talents, and movement around the world.

 

3. Altbot Setup

An Altbot is a character you have already created on your account, or on another permitted account, and then added under PlayerBot control.

Command Function
.playerbots bot add [name1,name2,name3] Logs in specific altbots.
.playerbots bot addaccount [accountname] Logs in all altbots from one account. Depending on the configuration, other accounts may also be used.
.playerbots bot remove name1,name2,name3 Logs out specific altbots.
.playerbots bot add * Logs in all altbots.
.playerbots bot remove * Logs out all altbots.

To communicate with bots:

  • Use /w to send a command to one bot.

  • Use /p to send a command to the party.

  • Use /r or /ra to send a command to the raid.

Talent, Gear, and Reset Commands

Command Function
autogear Tells the bot to manage its gear automatically. This can be used on Rndbots, although Rndbots usually manage their own gear when leveling up.
talents Shows the bot’s current spec.
talents spec list Shows the list of available specs for the bot’s class.
talents spec [spec_name] Forces the bot to switch to the selected talent spec.
talents apply <link> Applies a talent link to the bot.
glyphs Shows the glyphs currently used by the bot.
glyph equip [GlyphID1 … GlyphID6] Equips the listed glyphs on the bot.
reset botAI Resets the bot’s AI settings.
reset Resets the bot’s current action, such as casting or movement.

 

4. AddClass Setup

AddClass uses unused Rndbots from the system. This feature is useful for testing, such as quickly forming a raid to test strategies. For long-term progression, Altbots are still recommended.

Command Function
.playerbots bot addclass [className] Summons a new Rndbot with the selected class. For Death Knights, use dk; other classes use their standard names.

 

5. General Party and Raid Commands

Examples:

@group1 follow
@group2 attack

Supported groups:

@tank
@dps

7. Party/Raid Targeting: RTSC and RTI

RTSC

Command Function

rtsc go save Makes the bot return to its saved RTSC position.

8. Bot Strategies

Bots respond to triggers based on their active strategies. Strategies are divided into two categories:

  • Combat strategy: active during combat.

  • Non-combat strategy: active outside combat.

Use the following prefixes:

co  = combat strategy
nc  = non-combat strategy

Usage format:

co +strategy1,-strategy2,~strategy3
nc +strategy1,-strategy2,~strategy3

Check active strategies:

co ?
nc ?

Note: The /in macro command requires an addon such as Slashin or ElvUI. Not all addon versions support this command.

/p @tank attack
/in 8 /p @dps co -passive
/in 8 /p @heal co -passive

 

Bloodlust/Heroism Macro

Prevent Shaman bots from using Bloodlust/Heroism:

/p @shaman ss +2825,32182

Allow Shaman bots to use Bloodlust/Heroism again:

/p @shaman ss -2825,32182

 

Combat Movement Macro

Commands bots to move away from danger and follow the player:

/p reset
/p nc -stay,+follow,+passive
/p co +passive
/p do follow

 

Follow and Assist Macro

Commands bots to follow the player and assist with attacks:

/p nc -stay,+follow,-passive
/p co -passive
/p do follow

 

Stay and Assist Macro

Commands bots to stay in position while still helping with attacks:

/p nc -follow,+stay,-passive
/p co +passive

Burning Crusade Raid Strategy

Karazhan

All Karazhan strategies are still pending PR and are considered WIP.

Boss Status Strategy Tips
Attumen & Midnight Can be defeated with strategy and no manual control All bots, except the active tank, stack behind Attumen after he mounts Midnight so they stay within the minimum Berserker Charge range. None
Netherspite Can be defeated with strategy and no manual control Bots handle Red Beam, Blue Beam, and Green Beam with role-based position rotations. During the Banish phase, the main strategy is avoiding Void Zones. It is usually better to burn the boss quickly because it can be cheesed when the boss fixates on one player.

Netherspite Details

Red Beam / Tank

  • Tanks are assigned to block the beam in rotation.

  • Tanks move in and out every 5 seconds.

  • Tanks may stand in Void Zones if needed because positioning is more important.

Blue Beam / DPS

  • DPS, except rogues and warriors, are assigned to block the beam.

  • Bots swap at 25 stacks.

  • Bots will move if a Void Zone appears underneath them.

Green Beam / Healer

  • Works similarly to Blue Beam, but is assigned to healers, rogues, and warrior DPS.

  • Healers swap as usual.

  • Rogues and warrior DPS can stay for the whole phase because they do not receive the negative effect.

Non-blockers

  • Keep at least 5 yards away from the beam.

 

Wrath of the Lich King Raid Strategy

Naxxramas

Boss Status Strategy Tips
Anub’Rekhan Can be defeated with strategy; manual control recommended Not yet documented Use /ra @ranged disperse set 20 so ranged bots keep 20 yards of distance and avoid Impale.
Grand Widow Faerlina Can be defeated without strategy/manual control None Focus all damage on the boss with a Skull mark. Adds will die from AoE.
Maexxna Can be defeated with manual control None Use a target macro to free bots from Web Wrap. Use Bloodlust/Heroism when the boss reaches 30% HP due to Frenzy.
Patchwerk Can be defeated with manual control None Melee bots will be hit by Hateful Strike, so use more tanks or ranged characters. Use Bloodlust/Heroism when the boss reaches 5% HP due to Frenzy.

 

Vault of Archavon

Boss Status Strategy Tips
