[Feature request] Stop walking and only use pokestop and catch pokemon in sight

[woohoooo]

Short Description

• I feel that limited speed of walking and number of catced pokemon is still risk to be banned.
• I would like to use bot in the safest way even it will gain small exp.
• Due to some locations have many pokestop located very close to each other so i think allow bot to stop walking it the best way to prevent perma ban.

Possible solution

• Allow bot to stop walking and only use pokestop and catch pokemon in sight

How it would help others

• Anyone who do not want to be ban but accept gaining a small amount of exp.

[mjmadsen]

You could remove the MoveToFort and FollowSpiral tasks.

[avexus]

can you set walk speed to zero, and i guess that'll work too.
but also bear in mind, that it is never safe.

[mjmadsen]

We actually prohibit speeds of less than 1 due to some walking complexities.

Note, walking or not, you're still sending GPS information which might have the same altitude problems and any other API inconsistencies from the app.

@mjmadsen -- I've tried that approach, but my bot always seems to only spin pokestops once. I've twiddled the avoid_circles config, but that doesn't seem to work either.

[mjmadsen]

You tried:
"avoid_circles": false,

Is that true?

We can leave this up as a feature request if that doesn't work.

[jamescourtney]

Used this configuration last night at a local restaurant with 3 lures dropped:

That wasn't done with the most recent pull, but it should have been current at the time. I can try again tomorrow if there's desire.

[mjmadsen]

Can you post the play log? Curious about it only spinning each reachable stop once.
