Using /notify to click somewhere besides a window

Post by Meatball » Thu Apr 22, 2004 9:07 am

I swear I'm reading the forum before I make these posts. :)

Is there a way to use /notify to click somewhere besides in a window. I want to drop an item that's on my cursor. From what I'm reading, with /click going away, I'll be using /destroy instead. /destroy scares me in a macro though.

As long as you are checking the name of the item on the cursor before doing a destroy you should be fine. If something is on your cursor and it doesn't equal the name you are looking for then /autoinv it I guess.

There will be a method if not with /click to do things that are not on windows. /click is still logical to use for that kind of thing, until we provide alternate ways to do anything that clicking on people or items would do. We could give a /drop command also.

My first time using /notify and everytime I do, I lose click control for everything else. When I try to click somthing else with my mouse, it just clicks what I was /notifying.. heh, since this is the first I used it, is that supposed to happen? is there a way to get control back?

<== Feels like a complete newb..

If you use "leftmouse" you lose control until the left mouse goes "up" on that button. Same with "rightmouse". You can regain control by notifying that same window with "leftmouseup" or "rightmouseup".

You want to do "leftmouseup" on the button to click it.

not to sound like an ass, but just trying to provide some info so you dont do what i did, but when i used leftmouse i had that happen, then i did leftmouseup, could move mouse around and all, but whenever i clicked anywhere, it always clicked again on the button i was /notifying, really weird stuff
