Command help

[sysdamnjr]

Is there a way to do a /quit I have been working on a monk macro that can FD but cannot seem to get it to /q out to clear agro if I have 3 or more mobs sitting on me

any help would be greatly appricated

Also looking for a GM check snippet I have seen code in some of the posted macros in the depot as part of other kinds of macros but i will be damed if I can find it now that I am looking for it.

again any help would be appricated

You don't need to /q out to clear agro, just stay FD for 2 minutes.

GM check?
/newif ${Spawn[gm].ID} /echo gm present

[sysdamnjr]

This line of code
/newif ${Spawn[gm].ID} /echo gm present
Finds all GM's in game

This line of code
/newif $gm==TRUE /echo gm present
Returns all pc's in zone

I am looking for code th show just if there is a GM in the zone I am currently in.

[Lax]

uhh... no, it does not find all GMs in game. If you'd like to explain your theory as to how it does that please do, until then I know what I'm talking about

${Spawn[gm].ID} will return the ID of the first GM it sees in the list of spawns in your zone, or NULL. This is effectively telling you if a GM is in the zone or not. If it is reporting someone as a gm that isnt a gm, then report a bug. Note that this will be the same person you target if you do /target gm

Here is the section of code I am having trouble with.

code
sub gmcheck
/newif ${Spawn[gm].ID} /echo Guide in zone bot ending.
/newif ${Spawn[gm].ID} /endmacro

This always returning gm present. Even when a /who all gm does not show any GM's in game

Awhile back in a now broken macro this worked

Code:
/if $gm==TRUE /echo GM in zone!
/if $gm==TRUE /endmacro

[bonehand]

Isn't it the case that /IF and /NEWIF only work on a TRUE or FALSE(As opposed to (0 or 1) or a (Value or NULL)? If so, that means that your NULL value(for no GM's) is making the arguement always true(because it is never "FALSE") and thus triggering the /endmacro.

Try:

Code: Select all

sub gmcheck 
/newif ${Spawn[gm].ID}<>"NULL" {
    /echo Guide in zone bot ending. 
    /endm
}
/return

At least that should be right...not able to test atm.

for results I'm checking if they return null, I'm using the following:

Code: Select all

/newif ${Bool[${Spawn[gm].ID}]} /echo GM

at one time, I think /newif was returning false if the result was null, but that is no longer the case.

As per Lax's guide:

bool Bool[text]: Make a bool object using text. Value is set to TRUE unless text is "NULL" "FALSE" or "0" (capitalization does not count)

[sysdamnjr]

Still getting the /echo <whatever text here>
no matter what
/who all gm returns correct zone of gms if any on
/tar gm returns no <correct text here> 0-100 blah blah blah

I am at a loss tried every code I can think of and all the suggestions that have been posted sheesh this should be simple

[s16z]

I just tried this:

Code: Select all

/newif ${Spawn[gm].ID} /echo Guide in zone bot ending.

It appears to work fine for me. I have the April 09 2004 16:42:37 source version, and have booth Parm and Data activated.

Code: Select all

/newif ${Bool[${Spawn[gm].ID}]} /echo GM

useless.. dont make a bool out of it, thats just a waste. it just gets converted back to a number for newif. again, /newif looks for 0 or non-zero. any TRUE,FALSE,NULL get converted to 1.00,0.000,0.00 before ever getting to newif

Code: Select all

/newif ${Spawn[gm].ID}<>"NULL" { 

wont work at all.
#1 <> isnt valid
#2 "text" isnt valid
#3 NULL gets converted to 0.00 before /newif ever sees it

IF you need to do a string comparison, you need to use string.Equal, etc. this isnt the way to do this, but this is more correct than above

Code: Select all

/newif ${String[${Spawn[gm].ID}].NotEqual[NULL]} {

But, why do a string comparison when we're working with numbers?

Code: Select all

/newif ${Spawn[gm].ID} {

Just like i posted in the fucking second post on this thread. Amazingly more than one person posted on this thread with different ways of doing it than the one person that knows the most about the system... one that would work but is silly, and one that wouldnt even parse

and finally:

Still getting the /echo <whatever text here>

stupid fucker, you need to turn on mq2data first. If you want to use MQ2Parm you need to use "$gm" or whatever instead.

Code: Select all

/newif $gm {

That's one on the things I like about Lax, he's not afraid to speak his mind.

Like this tread, question asked, answered, debated, then answered again pointing out the dumb shits.

Or "- To String: ... this IS a string, assface"

Or RTFM


GO GO GO, Lax!
