Away Macro

[Lacky]

Got tired of waiting for a raid invite when I get home half an hour after the raid starts. With the limit of 54 in GoD it can take awhile before I can get into the raid. So I made up this nifty little macro to accept group invites and tell me when I have a tell.

Please note this version requires the speech plugin to be working. Also while posting this there seems to be a problem with it where it goes into a loop. It spams the echo window with a bunch of [MQ2]'s then has the chat at the end like normal. Going to play more with it. If anyone has any clues as to why this is the first real chat stuff i have tried to do.

Code: Select all

|****************************
Will do things to kittens if you get a tell.
****************************|

#CHAT tell
#event Invited "#*# invites you #*#" 

Sub Main
   /speak Will call you names if you get a tell.
   :Kittens
      /doevents
      /delay 1s
   /goto :Kittens
/return

Sub Event_Chat(ChatType,Sender,ChatText)
   /speak ${Sender} tells you, ${ChatText}
   /echo ${Sender} tells you, '${ChatText}.'
   /delay 1s
/return

Sub Event_Invited
   /speak Your in a group! Yay!
   /delay 1s
   /invite
/return


/endmacro

And this Version is for those of you without the speech plugin. Rewrote this while I was posting so if there is a problem, and you cant figure it out, Let me know I will look at it again.

This macro is ok... but it's nearly pointless.... Let me explain....

When I was playing, if by chance I was accepted into a group and went afk, I was invariably kicked from said group unless I was with the group. If you come home a half hour after your raid starts, it's likely you've been removed from the raid anyway. If you haven't, it's likely someone is quite pissed that you've been in the group for a half hour, but not at the raid site. It's also quite sily to have your computer echo tells and such while you are gone, as once you get home, unless someone sends you another tell, the only way to see if you missed something is if you scroll up.

What I suggest doing, is adding in some code that will auto-follow whomever it was that invited you to the raid, move to zone lines, zone with the group, and wait AT the raid location without fighting. It's likely some of your guild knows you use MQ2, as someo fo them likely use it too. If this is the case, it would also behoove you to maybe run a bot of some sort (not making any specific suggestions here) that will allow someone else in your guild/raid who has MQ2 to send you /tell or /irc commands. This way, you'd not only be invited along to the raid, but you'd go to the raid, and be a part of the raid until you get home and take over on your own.

As it is, your macro is good for one thing, which is accepting a group invite. That's great for what it is... but it's missing something to be truly effective. =)

The reason for this macro was basically to let me do house stuff while waiting for a raid. I will add in the following someone mostly cause I like that idea for some of the raids I have been going on, IE. moving before I get back to comp.


It was also set up to let me know when I got a tell and in the case of the speech one it will speak the tell out....


Yes the whole thing is pointless but hey I was bored had a speech plugin stting there and well wanted to not wait to be willed in to various zones. I missed a few will ins cause I was doing things around the house and didnt check often enough.

I think PhoenixZorn completely misunderstood the point to this. Definately useful if you have a situation like yours. A nice, simple macro.
