Help with /doability

Post by chid66 » Wed Dec 22, 2004 5:24 am

Hi all,

I started using MQ2 for the first time yesterday and got everything up and running very smoothly thanks to the guides here.

The first thing I wanted to do was set my trader up to forage overnight so I set up the yafm macro.

Now the problem:- The macro runs (if I sit down, it stands me up again; If I click forage, it bags whatever I forage), but it doesn't forage automatically.

If I type "/doability forage" nothing happens. The button doesn't gray out etc.

However "/doability tracking" and "/doability fishing" both work fine.

I've done some searching on the forums but not seen anything similar reported.

I will carry on digging around, but if anyone has any ideas what my problem is (with the command, that is :P) then I would be very grateful for suggestions.

Thanks

Chid

Hrm...make sure that you have forage button on the abilites panel (alt-m). Just having the ability, or having a hotkey that you made at one time isn't enough, it has to be listed on that panel.

If that doesn't work for you, come back here and tell me what you get from doing "/doability list" on that character.

Yep - that was the problem: the forage button had been reset in the actions window - probably when I changed skin.

Working fine now thanks.

Nope, that doesn't happen. When you change your UI, the abilities on the action window don't get reset.

Must have been something else.
