shaman and acrilia

sangoku22 · Post by **sangoku22** » Fri Jan 17, 2003 12:42 am

I would just want a macro that a 57 shaman can use that collects acrilia.
maybe root/dot, or pet attack. And could the macro be designed to work in dawnshround peak, were you kill the tribals infront, and a little to the left of ME. If my shamans or pets's HP gets below half, I cast heal on the first gem, until were fully healed.
And if its better to use pet, slow the mob first (I think this would save Lots of mana). Med if below 40m, and run/gate if HP is bellow 20%. Right after gating, I would /camp desktop. Maybe it would be beter to root/dot/pet attack??
And make sure during the farming, I dont KS anyone.(I dont expect this to be possible, but if yes, it would be great!).

Wouldn't this macro be greatly usefull for shamans to use!!

-thx

I am only requesting something like this.
I don't have enough experience with macros to do it.

Take a look in the macro depot, there has been a lot of discussions and work on 'hunting' type scripts.

Check out this thread for instance:

the hunting script is for a melee class, a shaman can't take on tribals easy when melleing hehe!!

so thats why I want someone to make one like I described.

So, take a hunting script, and try to mod it for use with a shaman, if you run into problems, post it and see if people can help you fix it. If you don't want to do that, well then, you aren't ever going to get anything such as you wanted. Most people don't post their macro's, because most everyone here want people to at least TRY to not be total leaches.

I'll give you want you want but it will cost your first born and the blood of a goat.

Ever think of at least trying to get it started ?

My impersonation..

I want someone else to do all the work for me! This great macro will be useful for Shaman's my level and definatly not on my server and must be into tradeskills smithing and tailoring and also be good at macros and be willing to do it for me without any cooperation from me (just pure leeching on my part) and work perfect without problems and do my taxes because they are comming up soon.

Oh and to make things interesting you can't click.

Personally I want the clean the house macro, anyone wana get that one going for me?

Alll in good clean fun right?

Oh by the way just so this isn't a totally useless flame post.

Try editing the hunting script. Set up loot, avoidance, target mobs in the zone part of the macro. Then just change the actual fighting subroutines, I have edited Fippy's to do that already, some slight bugs but not hard to fix.

Here's a (piss poor) example of a shaman hunting routine. Works pretty well for me depending on the camp.

Code: Select all

Sub Fight

:ReFight
/delay 20
/mqlog The value of tID is $tID
/call cast "Togor's Insects"
/doevents
/if n $Recast==1 {
	/varset Recast 0
	/goto :ReFight
}
/call gotoloc $HomeX,$HomeY
/face nopredict
/call cast "Envenomed Bolt"
/attack on
/face nopredict
/delay 40

/doevents
/if n $target(distance)&20 {
	/call Melee
} else {
	/assist
	/if $target(name)!=$char(name) /call Loop
	/call checkdist
	/goto :Refight
}


/face nopredict
/doevents Killed
/varset ReFight 0
/return

Oh and heres a good one for getting into correct casting radius

Code: Select all

Sub CheckDist

:Distance

/if n $target(distance)&160 {
	/sendkey up up
	/return
} else {
	/face nopredict
	/sendkey down up
	/goto :Distance
}

Edit : Started looking at code and found several bugs, sorry this is old code =)

ok I could get it started, but were to start first, I have no experience with making macros, I just thought if someone made a macro like this, all shamans could use it, and be happy...

So, were should I start??

insanitywiz · Post by **insanitywiz** » Fri Jan 17, 2003 4:32 pm

Start with taking some of the simple macro's other people have posted, prefferably many of them, such as the one above, and modding them slightly. Change melee attacks into casting spells, change the spells, and other simple things. That will get you a grounding in the basics of the macro's, and from there you should be able to start working on either moding one to suit your needs, or creating one from scratch.

Personally, I don't want to make all shaman's happy, I don't play a shaman. Nor do the friends that I WILL write macro's for. Of course, I'm not very good at it myself, so I mostly take what others have posted, and screw them up until I make it work for what I want it to work. It does take quite a bit of time when you are just starting.

Heres some more ideas to get you started and give you an idea what to look for on code to ...borrow

Search for code that can do the stuff listed below 99% if not more of this code already exists on this MB, just gotta look

So lets start.

First thing I would do is figure out a safe way to do this.

1. Check for GM
2. Check HP and MANA
3. Check level range of mobs around me (maybe target a few and con them if scowl = bad.

Next

If theirs a GM in the zone quit
If your hp and mana are not 95%+ med / canni up
If your get attacked while medding make sure you fight back (and run/gate when very low on hp or low on mana and hp.

Ok your full of hp and mana and at a safe place not getting attacked look for a bad guy to kill the closest one, within a certain distance, level range, who's not being attacked or already attacking someone/something else.

Goto it cast on it and run back to a spot where you don't get adds

Wait for him to get within casting distance send pet in, cast more spells etc.

When he dies go loot his corpse

and start all over again .

Tada theirs your macro just add the code

PS you will want to watch this run for some time to add fixes for any bugs that my come up like pathing, adds, los problems, pet dieing, refreshing buffs, etc etc. You gotta tweak it =)

Yes, it can be done, very easily. I have made many hunter type scripts for my mage and his pet, which cast spells and operate on the same principles.

Honestly tho, it very much sounds like you're wanting a script where you can park your shaman near a grimling source, and start up acrylia farming while you AFK. I won't support any AFK macroing, nor would I suspect anyone else would here. Besides, it's hard enough farming acrylia on my server due to the constant players actually camping there for profit (acrylia pieces sell for 50pp each on my server... /sigh)
