Changing variables via chat

[ZergKing]

I have a simple macro that works well, is very robust with zero flexibility.

I want to alter two variables on the fly, via channel messages. The first is a variable named delay.

#Event newtime "#*#Change to [newvalue??]?
/varset delay [newvalue??]

You just want to tell a toon to change the variable value?

Just say:

/bc toonname //varset delay xxx

Or, all your toons:

/bca //varset delay xxx

Thank you. I was hoping for a system that would allows others who dont have access to my EQBC (ie via a chat channel).

This, however, is a good solution and will give it a shot!

Untested but this should be close.

Code: Select all

#Event NewTime "#*#set delay #1#"

Sub Event_NewTime(string line, string v1)
    |/echo Line = [${line}]
    |/echo v1 = [${v1}]
    /varset delay ${v1}
/return

You really shouldn't set a value like this because its pretty obvious to anyone looking at logs that you are bot'ing.

BCS chat doesn't go to the EQ server so it's a lot safer.

If you do want to give friends to access you might consider making the command sound like something normal like "slow down" or "hurry up"

or switch over to using MQIRC and just have your friends issue commands in a chat room.

It is to change delay and tanks for CHEAL chain. The idea is to have the command disguised as an open chat message, such as "Tank Swamp now! to %T", where Tank Swamp now! is the custom event. The same would be done for any changes in delay.
