I was wondering how hard it would be (and if I could get a little help) to write a bot macro for a cleric, one that will stand, heal the people in the group that need to be healed then sit back down and start medding agen.
other things that would be good to have is stuff like reporting mana in /g when the cleric is LOM, or reporting in /g when being attacked...
Im kinda intrested in what others think...
I dont think im the only one that plays a warrior/cleric combo

Cleric Macro

easy enough
The only thing you wont be able to do(until Plaz or anyone finds mana) is to tell your group how much mana you have currently.
You could very easily solo w/ your warrior and have your cleric keep him alive, however. Hell, you could set it up so that when you /tell your cleric something, he could target your warrior(/rt gets the last person to send you a tell on target), stand, and CH you, or whatever. Doing a group macro wouldn't be too hard to do, you'd just be macroing more things(constantly reading the HP of everyone), and definitely need to set a variable for each person's class(so you dont try to CH the chanter and let him die). You could easily do this by, when loading the macro, put "melee" or "caster" after the MAC name(ie "/macro groupcleric.mac melee melee caster melee caster" for first 2 slots melee, 3rd a caster, 4th a melee, last a caster) and set a variable to 0 or 1(or whatever you please). Only problem would be when group disbands or changes formation to accomadate someone leaving group(LD, or people logging).
It should also be possible to read and change the formation inside the macro, you would just have to have an Event_Chat sub to watch for "Soandso has gone linkdead", or even just "Soandso has left your group" since every LDer gets dropped from the group(and could also run same one when "Soandso joins your group". Then it would just have to get the class of each of the remaining group members, and change the variables.
Hope this helps, I only have 1 account, so can't really test a cleric macro on my cleric. I may try to make one when duoing with a friend, and will post the end product if/when I do.
