no target af spamming hotkeys

[whitetrashonky]

Howdy! I would like a macro that always autofollows the tank without having him targeted and spams keypresses 12121212... which are my assist doability disc hotkeys. I found a no target autofollow mac in here somewhere but now i cant seem to find it again. If that had the two keypresses in it it would be perfect. Many thanks in advance!

I remember the days of trying to get things done this way. Those days ended when I donated for VIP access.
I suggest you do the same. MQ2 is so different with the plugins and macros available in the VIP section.

More on topic why is it that you don't want the second character to target the main character when following?
How many and which abilities does your second character use? (Can make it better than spamming keypress)

Hi!. I have donated for VIP access. What im doing is running around bot from mob to mob. With this macro I would only have to load one macro and I would never have to tab over, just load and rock and roll. /keypress 1 is my in-game hotkey for /assist /frenzy /disarm/ head thump. /keypress 2 is destroyer's volley. ( for some reason the ' doesnt work in game so i have to put it on the hotbar) So if it always followed my warrior without him targetted it would automatically assist and destroy whatever i was attacking.

You should look into Modbot macro in the VIP section with minimal setup and the required plugins and such it will do this very nicely..

TBH, I dont want to take the time to find all the plugins, figure out how to use them, figure out how to compile them when one of these really smart guys that does this everyday could write my macro in five minutes. Ive already spent hours and hours reading forums and trying to figure out wtf im not doing right. My add kicks in and i get a headache staring at forums. I just want someone to feel sorry for me and write my macro lol.

Wow. That's impressive.


It's one thing to ask others to search for you.

Another to ask others to point to the specific existing macro or plugin to solve your exact need.

But to then ask others to collect them up, zip them, drive to your house, and do it for you - that's bold.

Just shot your self in the foot there.

Help comes to those that want it.

I think you missed it somewhere. It would be much easier for a very nice person that knows hows to write macros to spend the five minutes it takes to write my little baby macro for me, than for me to pull all my hair out trying to figure why this and that dont work. Isnt this the macro request forum? I didnt realize this was the flame somebody for asking for a macro forum. Theres a special forum if you want to flame me im sure i read it. Instead of flaming someone, try helping them. Id help you if i could. I looked for the no target af macro and couldnt find it. I seen it tho, its in here somewhere. That macro with two /keypresses in it would be exactly what i need.

[whitetrashonky]

This is what I was read. Not sure how to post a qoute so i just copied and pasted. The macros I use now do the same thing as this guy mentions, the bot goes berserk. With the macro im wanting im hoping it doesnt freak out and everyone knows im using mq. Its kinda embarrasing when your guildees know your two boxing and your bot is doing the funky chicken. I really dont want to use a program that takes control of my character. I think the macro im wanting would make my character very passive. I think everyone has taken what Ive said the wrong way. I dont want to use them. MQ makes eq enjoyable to play. I wouldnt play eq without it. But the way my toons react on the macros i use makes it obvious im using this program. I just feel it would be easier for someone to write my macro than to answer all the questions im gonna have trying to learn how to use all the plugins i dont want to use. Im not trying to be a dick. I think my tone has been misinterpreted.

Hey,

I just started using 3ball's adaption of the RH macro to beserker, and I was wondering if there is a way to make autofollow a automatic function if attack is not on. For example if you are dungeon crawling and you want the bot to follow you , and attack but don't want to push the autofollow macro after every kill. I know you can use leash, but its rather buggy and causes the bot to run circles or do other crazy things. If it would be possible to make a new type of autofollow that refreshes if attack is off on the main assist.

Thank you !

Re: autofollow

Yes.

Or, no.

Or, maybe your question is too unspecific.

What do you mean by "autofollow"?

Re: autofollow

Are you looking for something like this?


Code:

/if (!${Me.CombatState.Equal[COMBAT]}) /stick 10 ID ${Spawn["Main Assist"].ID}

Re: autofollow

Hey,

Sorry if I was too vague i'll try to provide a better description . The macro I am using can be found at 3Ball's Berserker macro. This is the code snip that I believe controls the autofollow function that I am refering too.



Code:

Sub Event_AutoFollow(string Line)
/varset lastevent Event_AutoFollow
/declare distance int local 30
/if (${Ini[ZHSettings.ini,General,FollowDistance].NotEqual[NULL]}) /varset distance ${Ini[ZHSettings.ini,General,FollowDistance]}
/if (${Line.Arg[3].Length}) /target ${Line.Arg[3]}
/if (${Line.Arg[4].Length}) /varset distance ${Line.Arg[4]}
/if (${distance}<10) /varset distance 10
/ini "ZHSettings.ini" "General" "FollowDistance" "${distance}"
/if (${Target.ID}) {
/if (${verbosity}>=0) /${channel} ** Autofollow on: ${Target.CleanName} (${distance} ft.)
/if (${verbosity}>=0) /${channel} ** Change targets to stop autofollowing.
} else {
/if (${verbosity}>=0) /${channel} ** Can't activate Autofollow -- no valid target!
/return
}
/declare followID int local ${Target.ID}
:FollowingLoop
|- Look for new events
/doevents
/if (!${lastevent.Equal[Event_AutoFollow]}) {
/if (${verbosity}>=0) /${channel} ** Autofollow blocked by: ${lastevent}
/goto :StopFollowing
}
/if (${Target.ID}==${followID}) {
/if (${Target.ID}) /face fast
/if (${Target.Distance}>${distance}) {
/keypress forward hold
/delay 1s ${Target.Distance}<=${distance}
/keypress forward
}
/goto :FollowingLoop
}
:StopFollowing
/if (${verbosity}>=0) /${channel} ** Autofollow ended.
/return


Now the way it seems to work is that I send a tell to my bot in this format "/t bot /autofollow mychar" It will repeat the command, and activate the autofollow function which behave just like normal autofollow in EQ. When I attack a target it causes the bot to target an npc which in turn kills autofollow allowing the attack event to start. This sticks the bot to the npc target until its killed. Afterwards the bot will just stand there, and wait for another npc to be attacked within its predetermined range. Now this is great if your camping one spot, and having someone pull the mobs to that spot. However I am interested in mobile dungeon crawling in which I would engage the mobs as I move throughout the zone at thier spawn points.

What I am asking is if its possible to have the bot automatically reaquire its master, and put autofollow back on if no more combat is detected. So as to not have to manually press the follow button after every encounter, and have the bot simply switch back to me when combat isn't detected for say more then a few seconds.

Another thing I was wondering is if it would be possible to have a bot send a message to its master if it gets stuck on something while in autofollow mode. Maybe a function that checks if the bot is attempting to move forward, but cannot due to a obstruction. Maybe just a simple tell or group chat saying "hey, i'm stuck come back".

I'm very new to this all, and I don't know anything about writing code, but I am willing to give it a try. If you could just confirm that its possible, and maybe point me in the right direction, or maybe even another macro that does such a thing that I can look through. I would be eternally grateful, Thank you !

Re: autofollow

Of course it's possible.

[Olain]

I'm not flaming you, just letting you know that your requesting a macro that has already been made and I highly doubt your going to get someone to sit down and make you a macro for nothing other then you asking nicely. Invest the time and use autobot / modbot something other that has the auto follow features. I know modbot lets you tell your box to auto follow you and attack when you do. Its honestly not that hard to setup plugins or not. Your taking more time wishing and hoping for someone will come and help you when you could be learning how it all works.
