Mortar and Pestle Combines

[quasit]

I have been writing a mac for my rogue to mix poisons. The Problem i have is for somereason, it doesnt recognize the Mortar and Pestle as a combinable box. I have named the box, as well as had the mac look for and open any combinale box in inventory. It will not let me open it. Here is my code for the box to open. Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks.


/finditem similar "Mortar"
/if $invpanel==TRUE /if $pack($v80,open)!=TRUE /click right inv $v80
/varset v80 $return


here is another i tried, didnt work either


/call FindCombiner mortar and pestle
/if $return==99 /return


then I even tried

/call findcombiner
/if $return==99 /return

they all came back saying it couldnt identify it or that mortar and pestle was not a valid combinable box.....

HELP..

thanks again

try /call FindCombiner "mortar and pestle"
or perhaps
/call FindCombiner "poision"

and make sure you have an include routines or a copy of findcombiner in there too.

Salutations,
pick up your mortar and pestle, type

/identify

The output should tell you the combine type (i believe it is poison)

[boldor]

Combinder type is MAKE POISON. Been trying various combinations as well to no avail. Tired of hand making Celestial Essence.

[rizwank]

its the space in make poison i think

whenever i want to do poison st uff I just comment out the findcombiner code and return 7, which is where i always keep combiners.

haha, and there was I thinking I was the only lazy one doing that.. At least I included a line stating if the combine was "make" then set combine location to be 7, so I didn't have to comment anything out.

I am using the combine.mac posted in the Macro Depot... I understand wnat rizank is trying to stay about replacing findcombiner with 7 but I am new to MacroQuest (great program) and I don't know how to write code..

If anyone could enlighted me with a quick custom macro for combining in mortar and pestle or how to modify combine.mac I would appreciate it much.

[rizwank]

ok

for combine.mac call it
/macro combine mortar <item 1> <item 2> .. etc

replace

Code: Select all

   /call FindCombiner $p0 
   /if $v10<=7 /call OpenInv 
   /if $v10==8 /call OpenEnv 
   /if $v10==99 { 
                 /echo "Cannot find container-Aborting" 
                 /end 
                } 

with

Code: Select all

/varset v10 7

this will make the default container always the item in 7 .. dont use this for non mortar/pestle combines though..

7 is your last inventory slot by the way.

ok, did exactly what you said to do rizwank... and nothing happened, except the macro ended an i had a celestial sovent in my hand. So is MQ going to need to be updated to handle mortar and pestles , or is there a better way to code a M & P macro than combine.mac?

[Lurker_005]

Got a slightly better idea riz that will not break the rest of the FindCombiner...
As Riz said, use:
/macro combine mortar <item 1> <item 2> .. etc

and edit combine.mac to add th second line below.

Code: Select all

   /call FindCombiner $p0
   /if "$p0"=="mortar"  /varset v10 7
   /if $v10<=7 /call OpenInv 
   /if $v10==8 /call OpenEnv 
   /if $v10==99 { 
                 /echo "Cannot find container-Aborting" 
                 /end 
                } 

It won't actually find the container, it just always asumes the mortar and pestle is always in the last slot. but it still works as normal for all other combiners.

the guy up top that said, "make poison" was right. What I did is I went back to the good old read me file and checked at the very bottom of the file. It says "make poison" down there. So I tried it and sure enough it worked. Ok go ahead and flame me for not paying attention to the read me file :) Thanks for all the help.
