MacroQuest64

I am very new to writing macro's and was just getting the hang of using /if statements but after this last patch am having trouble converting some of my macroes due to the /newif

What I need is to be able to tell what target type I have targeted, then based apon target type do something.

/echo ${Target.Type}

Will give "NPC"/"PC" etc

So the /newif I tried below seemed right to me

This doesnt work, can some one please give me a hint.

Thanks

First use /if the old /if does not exist any more and /newif is just and alias for /if.

Second /if just calculates info and if it gets 0 it is false and if it gets 1 it is true so trying to do string compairs like that will not work you have to do it like
if you need something like /if "Fun fish"~~"fish" /goto :something

Tons of hints here: http://macroquest2.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6022

Biggest help is to look at the return types for each of the members, and that tells you what members you can use with the return.

For example... Target can use the members of spawn

spawn Target

Looking at spawn... it has the member

string Type: PC NPC Mount Pet Corpse Trigger Item

Type is a string, so lets go look at the members of the string type, oh, look!

bool Equal[text]: Strings equal? Case does not count...

So, combining these...

Target.Type.Equal[NPC]

Then surrounding that with ${ }
This will do /goto :nextthing if your target is an NPC

Thanks guys I really apreciate your prompt and accurate replies!

Wassup, I see why you maintain the readme. That was an excellent explaination. Thanks also.
