hi, i was wondering if MQ can tell the total hp for a character (not only self) like showeq can?

Curious, are you meaning like an actual HP total, as in.. 7212hp .. or a percentage?
Percentage = yes. HP total = no. HP totals were once, back in like, kunark\original days sent to the clients in "invisible packets". ShowEQ probably kept a lot of that and used it to display a lot of NPC's HP's, then probably kept track of mob's HP by you killing them and calculating total DMG, ect. (I've been thinking about logging something like this)

But unless I missed something, HP totals for NPC's or players aren't sent to the client anymore, regardless if you're using ShowEQ or MQ.

For HP percentage, you can use

Code: Select all

$spawn(id,hp,pct)

ID being the spawn ID, you can get this for group by going $group(#), # being the group index #.. or by targetting a mob and going $target(id), there's a few others ways..

HP percentages are a little innaccurate at far away ranges obviously.. but up close they're as accurate as you see it on your client.

For a list of all commands and overall features of Macroquest, open your MQ directory and go to the /Release/ directory, then look for a file named Readme.html

Hope that answers your Q.

yes i meant HP by numbers like 7425 and that still works in showeq..its just one thing you have to do to make it work..for some reason you have to /con the person and then it updates his HP, i know mob hp dont show but i can live without that..i just think its fun to compare HP to other players without having to ask them

Yah actually i can back this up. Least thats how it was before they made u get ur own security zone code things (by then it was just too much work to bother with lol so i stopped using it). But ya i recall that too, u just con them or right click them and it'll update their hp.

Hmm forgot about that :)

Not sure if its the same anymore.
