Help with very simple macro

bene0019 · Post by **bene0019** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 2:15 pm

I'm attempting to write a very simple macro that will automatically kick my target if I'm close enough. I can't even get the following to work

Thanks for any help

Code: Select all

Sub Main
:StartLoop


/if (${Me.AbilityReady["Kick"]}) {
/doability "Kick"
/echo Kicking
}

/goto :StartLoop
/return

[/code]

This is what I wrote when I want to do this. I wrote it when I was still learning this and haven't cleaned it up yet. I'm sure you can tho :)

Code: Select all

Sub Main

  /echo The Battle Macro is on!

  :Start

  /doevents

  /if (${Me.Combat} && ${Me.AbilityReady["kick"]} && !${Me.Stunned}) /doability "kick"
  /if (${Me.Casting.ID}) {
    :castingwait
     /if (${Me.Casting.ID}) /goto :castingwait
     /delay 1
  }

 /goto :Start

/return

hrm, not really into the whole macro thing. but the only difference I can see is

Code: Select all

Kick

vs

Code: Select all

kick

which very well could be a problem as macro code seems to be very case sensitive.

Code: Select all

/if (${Me.AbilityReady[Kick]}) /doability ${Me.Ability[Kick]}

Try that, kill the "'s around the string. Oh and dumb thing but make sure that kick is on a hotkey on the combat abilities.

There is no real need to have it hotkeyed.. But I usually have it up to make sure that it is going off anyway..

pretty sure that Kick has to be capitalized. If that doesn't correct it I will work on it when I get home.. I know I have a kick sub in a couple macros I can pull out for you.

It doesn't need to be on a hotkey page. But, it does need to be hotkeyed on your abilities window. Try foraging or Taunting without a hotkey on your ability page.

If you want to do it in a macro, these examples should help.

However, I would suggest donating a few bucks to the devs and downloading MQ2Combat from the VIP section. It will Kick/Taunt/Bash/etc for you, turn off attack on enrage, stick to your targets, automatically accept invites, and maybe a couple other things. You can turn some or all of these features off if you dont want them, but I find most of it useful. It will also do all of this "in the background" without affecting any other macros you may want to run.

This is what I use to spam all my abilities, and it works quite well for me. It takes a little bit more effort to install a plugin the first time, but there is a post that walks you all through it.

Good luck.

Or if for some reason you can't donate to get into the VIP section this plugin does a nice job spamming skills.
