A few questions on usage...

Post by Space-Boy » Wed Dec 04, 2002 1:04 pm

please dont flame me, ive been using MQ for a while just so i can see through anon / rp, and im just starting to use it for other things =)

1) the /mana thing... how the heck can i see how much mana my character has?

2) how can i see how much mana my grouped cleric actually has (percentage) as well as other people... like is there a way i could hit a hotkey and names / levels / classes / manapercentages would show up for my group?

3) is there a way to return how many overall (not percent) hp a mob has? i really like knowing their levels with /whotarget for dire charm, but pulling hp info would be golden

4) last but not least, my animations / skeletal pets (i play a necro too) is there a way i could pull THEIR hp (numbers not percentages) as well as buffs on them? though i doubt buffs on them is possible at this time, it would be great for enchanter animations who will not respond to /pet health

thanks in advance :D

/mana is an alias that comes included with MQ, it displays your mana in numerical format. /mana=/echo Current Mana: $char(mana,cur) -- Max Mana: $char(mana,max)

No way to see groupmembers stats, your client simply doesn't know.

No way to see the number of HP a mob has, they took that information from the client a long time ago, and the client only knows the percent hp the mobs have now.

Also no way to get the pet's numerical HP, for the same reason. You can get their percentage HP, but not numbers. Your client also does not know what buffs they have, so that's also impossible.

set it as an alias, type this in your chat window in eq:

Code: Select all

/alias /mana /echo Current Mana: $char(mana,cur) -- Max Mana: $char(mana,max)
or paste this line in the [aliases] section of MacroQuest.ini

Code: Select all

/mana=/echo Current Mana: $char(mana,cur) -- Max Mana: $char(mana,max)
