Interruption when casting after moving . . .

I have the following problem:

In my macro I want to give a bot a command to cast on a mob. If the mob is out of range the bot should get into casting range and cast the spell.
Ok this is how I have sloved it and it works but my problem is that when the bot gets in range he stops and starts casting he is always interrupted. I guess this is movement lag but not sure.
Please give me some tips how I could make it so that he isn't interrupted all the time.

Thanks,

Sub SnareSub 
	/if n $spell("Ensnare",mana)>$char(mana,cur) {

Before casting some spells, at least for my caster, I must remain stationary for about 2 seconds before I can cast, after running, without it being interrupted. Make sure you have a long enough delay in the between running and casting. Just my 2 cp.

Not MQ specific, but I notice that if I just tap left or right, or duck quickly, I can cast without getting interrupted. I assume that sending the new movement to the server updates my location so I don't have to wait out the lag. Maybe add a /press left before casting if you've got problems with lag.

press left bah

two things you can do

add a delay like said

Code: Select all

/delay 2s

my personal favorite or you can

Code: Select all

/sit off
/sit on 
/sit off

this is what I do when i actually place EQ, i sit down and stand up to make sure I am not drifting at all

both work buh bye
