ok added in quick fix for the auto-interrupt. just made it like the invis thing, if you dont want it to auto interrupt spells if a mob dies, just make sure to have this at the top of your macro:

Code: Select all

/declare noInterrupt int outer 1

as for the other questions... yes i tried to make this as interchangeable with spellcast.inc as possible.

the main reason i made this in the first place was spellcast seemed to waste a lot of time just doing nothing, or waiting for a spell to pop or whatever. as i play a chanter as my main, timing is very very critical, so i wanted to cut as much wasted time as possible, and i feel i've done that with this code.

it's nice to see people are using it, and hope it helps them as much as it has helped me.

thanks Rusty~, thats a perfect solution. Now my wiz macro has a couple lines added to my med sub routine that toggle the interrupt. works great.

Code: Select all

   /if (${Me.Mount.ID}) /varset noInterrupt 1
   /if (!${Me.Mount.ID}) /varset noInterrupt 0

This way my wiz uses interrupts if he is standing, but if mounted he doesn't... no more strafe movement to make him look funny, no more killing mount.

I think this could be rewritten as:

Code: Select all

/varset noInterrupt ${if[${Me.Mount.ID},1,0]}

One less "if" comparison, correct?

or you can just do:

Code: Select all

/varset noInterrupt ${Me.Mount.ID}

fixed an error in the recent edition that would make you try to cast a spell that wasn't up yet if cast right after an item.

Code: Select all

/call Cast "spellname|itemname|AAname|AA#" [item|alt|gem#] [give up time][s|m] [custom subroutine name]

If I wish to use custom subroutine name, is it necessary to also use the item/alt/gem & give up time params also? Or can I just use:

/call Cast "${Complete Heal}" CheckHP

Rusty~ · Post by **Rusty~** » Fri Jul 09, 2004 2:26 pm

yeah, as it is now, you have to include the other parameters if you want to use a custom sub. you can just specify default values though. for example:

Code: Select all

/call Cast "${Complete Heal}" gem1 0 CheckHP

also... if the spell is memmed in a different slot than gem1, it will still cast it, so don't worry. all that is there for is to tell it what slot to mem it in if it's not memed. if you don't want it to cast a spell if it's not memed, you can replace gem# with "spell"

The new /stopspellcast commad does not impose a recast time, not sure if it works while mounted though. Maybe this could be incorporated into spell_routines.inc?

Is there a way to remove all the movement of your inc ?
and give the mainmacro the most time if its running ?
i mean the /delay x stuff

Rusty~ · Post by **Rusty~** » Sun Jul 25, 2004 12:06 am

made a few changes. if you have auto interrupt on, and are mounted, it wont bother interrupting if you're casting a spell with a recast time less than 3 secs (most spells), and theres 3 secs or less left on the cast time...

also fixed a bug that would happen if you died while casting an item.

aa abilities still dont work atm but they should once it's added back to MQ.

as for the stopcast thing, i dont really see any reason to change it, since it doesn't work while mounted either.

as for the last comment on movement... the only movement now is when you're on a horse and you're casting a spell that has a long recast time (that is, even if you cast it on an empty target, the spell will stay faded out). you can also disable this completely..

Thanks for the update Rusty~!

Is there anyway quick way to to use spell_routines.inc so that it will contunually try to cast the spell and won't stop until the spell has landed?
for instance..
I could put:

Code: Select all

/call Cast "Force Shield"
/call Cast "Force Shield"
/call Cast "Force Shield"
/call Cast "Force Shield"

just like that in my macro and it would cast it 4 times. Any easy way to do that exectp through like:

Code: Select all

/call Cast "Force Shield"
:Here
/if (!${Me.SpellReady["Force Shield"]}) /goto :Here
/call Cast "Force Shield"
etc...

Rusty, I pm'ed you a while back and you never responded. If you are OOR or OOM and are using a custom sub routine, your inc file never executes that sub.

There anyway to fix this?

sorry i'm bad with the checking PM thing heh. yeah i can fix this really fast. how it is atm, it only calls it while casting. i'll make it so it calls it at least one time.

*edit* should be fixed now!
