Simple Necro Macro

hello would anyone be able to make a macro that assists the main tank at 98 percent, sends the pet in, and casts Blood of Thule, Dark Nightmare, and Desecrating Darkness on the mob?

Well to be honest that's a good start.

Give us some logic-code of how you want it done and start looking in TFM and the Wiki.[[MacroQuest2:Macros]] <-- Would be a good place to start.

Much better on your end if you start with some logic, then code it out - then grab another piece of logic, and code it out, and so on until your macro is complete.

Not sure what logic code is? Here's your macro, laid out logically. (Keep in mind this is an initial draft, things can and will get moved around as you start to code it out)

Code: Select all

Macro starts, ensures all needed spells are loaded
macro checks variables or ini for a "Main Assist"  If none, end macro.
Macro targets main tank, every 3-5 seconds /assist him to determine if the MA has a target, and if that target is engaged.  Alternatively, you could look at the HoTT window if it's available.
If main assist is on a mob, and mob is below 98%. goto Kill-It sub
If necro gets agro, immediately chain FD until successful.

Kill-It Sub:
/pet attack
cast spell 1
cast spell 2
cast spell 3

See? No code in there, yet your macro is nice and laid out. Work from there.

(Also if you do as I suggested, I'd code up a little then move it to the macro help forum as it will be a much better place to start asking for help with the code.)

Thats exactly what i want it to do. Im reading that web site you gave me tring to figure things out, but if you can help me write some of the code that would be great. I dont need it to check to see if my spells are out becuase i will be the only one using this macro so its fine.

Good example of how to create/start a macro where your tank/assist would change and you don't want to have to hardcode your assist each time. As for meming the right spells, you could always do a /memspellset <spell set name>

the one on page 2

I am using that but i keep getting spammed with an error saying "Due to complete misuse of the String Top-Level Object, it has been removed." The macro still runs but i keep getting spammed.. Anyone know how to fix this?

hi2u!
Are you brain dead, lazy or just stupid?
This has been the subject of MANY macro related threads for more then a week. Apply a little effort and try using the search function. I'm done trying to help you when you can't even try to do something for yourself. Look at other macro's/threads and answer your own damn questions.
