More Event Woe's

Ok so I am still working on my Hunter script. I can aquire a target from a 3 tiered list of priority, advance to the target and start attacking and kill. Problem is sometimes you get the " You cannot see your target." message and unless the mob moved you could stand there all day swinging and not hit it. I thought i could use an event like this.

Code: Select all


#event CannotSee " You cannot see your target."

sub Main

:start
/doevents
/goto :start

/return

/sub event_CannotSee
 /echo Set flag here
/return

but even though the message is appearing in chat it doesnt fire. I have check spaces, punctuation, and capitalization is correct on the message but it still doesnt work ??? are alerts broken ?

Code: Select all

#event CannotSee " You cannot see your target."

is that an extra space before " You"?

I know you said you checked spaces, but that's an obvious error that I see from your code snippet.

Yeah I tried it with and without a space at the begining and end. With and without a fullstop and none of them work

I think I have worked out why this doesnt work. When ya get the "You cannot see your target." message you actually get sent 2 lines. I wonder if the whole line needs to be checked ?? Cant do that in one string though without a carrige return escape char in the string ?

Code: Select all

#Event CannotSee "You cannot see your target"

Sub main
	:loop
	/doevents
	/goto :loop
/return

Sub Event_CannotSee 
	/beep
	/beep
/return

I tried this as a test, it works. You try it. Lets see what happens.
Only way i was able to even test it was in Scarlet Desert, within range of a target, but too low in the sand to get a line of sight. Must be a Z axis thing.
Anyway. Try it and lets find out.

I was tryin it in ec and standing right on top of the mob so you cant see it and it didn`t trigger once ???

Just tried this code snippet again. It works.
I tried it Standing over a mob and in EC, and it works.

My guess is that your MQ is bugged like when a macro just doesn't work if some event happened like zoning and running the macro again it doesn't work.

Im not at your system to know. Try logging out of EQ, end MacroQuest, Restart MQ then load EQ, log in the toon, and try this mac again.

If this isn't working for you, then it's beyond my help.

Boy I am really stupid. I copied your code exactly and it worked. Then I double checked my script and noticed my event and the #define I set up for the flag variable were the same name Duh!

Changed the #define and low and behold it worked.

Thanks for double checking it Java.

Fippy your quite welcome.
I'm glad it was a simple typo and not a broken install of the MQ.
The Latter would have gotten me really worried
