new macro

Lord Deadman · Post by **Lord Deadman** » Fri Mar 05, 2004 6:17 am

I am new to this site and trying to absorb as much information as i can, and hopefully i can contribute soon.

I am currently using a macro that allows me to autofire, but the problem i am running into is this...

1) when the mob gets to close i can not use my bow, is there any way to write in to switch to mellee wepaon?

2) When the mob moves slightly around a corner i can not see it, thus cant shoot arrows, any way to write that in, where i follow the mob a bit enuf to still target and shoot him?

3) If i was boxing myself with another account, how would i write an auto follow on a person, along with assisting him on the mob.

I am basically trying to design a very basic macro that does this... shoot arrows, and meelee if mob gets close... and follow someone so i can assist.

This macro was takin off the site here with a few changes, but i think its about 75% more than what i need.

I appreciate any help you can give me here is the macro i am currently using.

Usage: /mac Rangah <TankName>

Use the [code][/code] tags.

Few things. Code brackets help.

Also, if you read posts and use the Search link above, you'll find that a few ranger macs are already done and made. Also Hunter.mac, Genbot.mac ... lots of things are already premade. Try looking at the "Macro Depot"..

Sorry if I seem annoyed, but this is getting to the point where every idiot user posts before looking. I understand you're trying to learn, which is why I'm not giving you TOO hard of a time.

Also http://macroquest2.com/main.php?p=manual ... is a good reference.

Just look around and poke the other forums a little for a good start or a macro you need but don't need to make.

That's about as nice as it gets here.

1) Event for "too close"

2) Event for "can not see your target", and a movement routine. Try strafing.

3) Look at other macros and see how they address auto following and assisting. Those are very, very basic things.

You can solve all this yourself by reading up on #Event.

Awesome thank you very much, i had originally looked throughout alot of "ranger" macros, but each time i tried to use them, it came up with alot of things i either didnt have "AA's" or spells that were higher level than me, spamming my text screen.

I have eliminated alot of the lines that i did not need, and i appreciate all the help everyone has given me. i will keep researching the different formula's and hopefully be able to design a great one that everyone could use.

Thank you.
