I wanted to request this as a plugin, but only found a macro request section. A macro would work fine too, but a plugin is preferred.
As the description says, I would like to request a plugin or macro that was identical to /autofire, except that it uses /ranged therefore bypassing the simulated lag that is added to /autofire. The lag is very noticeable when using Bow of the Destroyer (17 delay) and headshotting mobs.
I imagine this would only be useful to a high level ranger, but I also imagine the macro/plugin would be fairly easy to create for someone who knows what they are doing.

Code: Select all
sub main
:foreverloop
/ranged
/delay 1
/goto :foreverloop
/return
Reading . . . it's not just for me.

Heh, yeah. I guess I could just /alias /autofire /mac autofire
for it.
Preferred the plugin so I could be running a different macro while using it and for /autofire on & /autofire off options.

Wouldnt that macro create a lot of spam when it tries to fire while the Ranged/Melee button is on "cooldown"?
I tried something to this effect before, but I seem to recall it creating a lot of "Your ability is not ready" or some such error message.
Does it matter, if it is only client-side anyway?

There was no clarification for a mac with safeguards and spamfilters.

Well, I applaud your willingness to throw something out there, but in the original post I stated I wanted something to be identical to /autofire. This would imply not spamming. However, I do know enough to get rid of the spam / toggle it off upon lack of target.

I think what I provided meets this requirement exactly. The only specifications here are 1) it needs to keep firing (inferred from operating like autofire) and 2) it should use ranged. There are no other specifications. If you wanted other items considered such as spamminess or target checking or whatever else, they should have been in the initial request.
Kudos to you for being able to grow my example to your own needs.
