Cannot Use this Skill at This Time...

Post by ImaNoob » Wed Apr 28, 2004 7:49 pm

Ok here's the deal, I use using the updated forage macro, and added a hide ability.
Occasionally I was getting an error along the lines of "You cannot use this skill at this time".
On a whim I decided to check ALL of the code, and noticed that in some instances the skills hide and forage would try to go off at the same time.

If this happened it would lock outthe forage skill until I zoned.

I found a fix, and I want to see if I'm on the right track, since I'm reading elsewhere that some of the other multi skill macros are having the same problem.

Add a delay of about 2 seconds right before the skill is supposed to fire off.

So...

Code: Select all

/if (${Me.AbilityReady[Forage]}) { 
          /doability Forage 
}
Would become

Code: Select all

/if (${Me.AbilityReady[Forage]}) { 
     /delay 2s
     /doability Forage
 
If you already have a delay try adding 1s to it and see if that helps.
Have Fun!
