I have tried to use the "doortests.mac"
and don't quight understand how to or IF i need to alter it... i am making a macro that will run me from one loc to another but between the two loc's there is a door that i have to stop and open

Code: Select all

Sub Main
    /mqlog Testing on Door ID=%p0
	/doortarget id $p0
	/face door
	/delay 6
	/mqlog Target Door Information: id=$door(id) name=$door(name) state=$door(open) loc=$door(y), $door(x), $door(z) heading=$door(heading)
	/mqlog             (continued): defaultloc=$door(defaulty), $door(defaultx), $door(defaultz) defaultheading=$door(defaultheading)
	/mqlog             (continued): headingto=$door(headingto) distance=$door(distance) distance2=$distance(door)
	/press u
	/delay 5
	/mqlog             (after use): state=$door(open) loc=$door(y), $door(x), $door(z) heading=$door(heading)
/return

when i type the doortests command it will open the door but it will say

"Id specified but no number provied"
"Face: item but no item targeted"

can someone help or maby give a helpfull hint of what i need to put in or do

thanks

(code taken from doortests.mac)

Code: Select all

/doortarget id $p0
/face door
/press u

the /doortarget targets the door
the /face door makes sure your facing it
and the /press u is the bit that opens it for you .

all you need to do is...

Code: Select all

 /press u

it will open the door as long as your looking at it

Sorry,

Im really struggling to get my head round this bit.

Macro im working on is almost complete, but door is causing a problem. There is a certain door I need to get thru - now i could just use /press u, but theres a risk the door could already be open...

whats best way to once at the door to face the door, check to see if its shut & if it is open it, if not then move to next loc??? am i supposed to identify an exact door ID & if so, how???

This is confusing me - just need someone to explain it again! thanks

Well I had some door problems in one of my scripts. I would go through a door, wait for a mob to agro me, then try to go back through the door. Unfortunately the timing was such the the door-closing animation would push my char to the right, and make me miss the door opening, thus getting my char stuck.

Basically what I did was target the door, and simply have a small loop waiting for it to be closed. Then once its closed i proceed to open it and go through it like normal.

Code: Select all

		/doortarget
		/face nopredict door
		:waitdoor
		/if $door(open)=="TRUE" /goto :waitdoor
		/delay 2
		/call GotoLoc 343,-819 u

The delay 2 is needed or you will try to open the door before the animation of the door closing is actually finished.

with no parameter, does that target nearest door?

nice - i will try that - i assume you can target the specific door id as well just to be on the safe side?

my question is... does /doortarget with no parameter actually target door nearest your loc?

Yes it targets nearest door.
