buffing someone else's pet

I am trying to add an event in my ranger's macro that will cast Spirit of Eagles on a pet when the pet owner sends a tell. I can make it work with any buff on the owner themself, but it wont do the pet.
I have tried it this way
Code: Select all
#Event castpet "#*#soe pet#*#
.
.
.
Sub_Event castpet
{
/rt
/target ${Target.Pet}
/call cast "Spirit of Eagles" gem1
}
/return
and also like :
Code: Select all
Sub_Event castpet
{
/target ${Sender}
/target ${Target.Pet}
/call cast "Spirit of Eagles" gem1
}
/return
Neither one will work, but my events that buff a player when asked work fine. Example:
Code: Select all
#Event rathe "#*#rathe me#*#"
.
.
.
Sub_Event rathe
{
/rt
/call cast "Call of the Rathe"
}
/return
This works perfectly..
So can anyone show me how to make it cast on the pet of someone sending a tell for a Pet Buff?
I am using spellcast.inc also btw
Thanks[

yeah maybe so, thats just a typo here.. thats not the problem im having, but the problem is it wont change targets, or target anything if i have none.

In the .mac file, it is spelled "Spirit of Eagle" so thats not the problem.. and when I type /target ${Target.Pet} with my necro targetted, it will switch the target to the pet. But when I try to trigger the event via chat/tells.. it doesnt respond, almost like it never picks up the event at all.

Well I tested teh /target ${Target.Pet} onmyself and that works, but I can't help on the event thing if I can only see so much of whats going on in your code.

This is the whole thing, its a modified version of the archery macro i found here, and I expanded it to be a buff-bitch as well.
Code: Select all
|**
arch.mac Auto-Archery
ABOUT:
just run this macro, target a mob, and turn on auto attack
The macro will detect autoattack, turn it back off, and begin firing arrows
or as I do, just /assist your MA =P
In some situations, you know what I'm talking about, you need to melee..
No Problem! this macro will auto melee also! When in close range to the target
the macro automatically turns on autoattack, it auto kicks, and auto disarms.
then just step back out of range and it will start firing arrows again!!!
Auto taunt now added as a toggle.
Added auto-reroot, good for soloing when root breaks. it does NOT auto root,
it just re roots your already rooted target.(wouldnt want it to auto root,
as it would root your target at its spawn location)
the macro will recast self haste of "eyepatch of plunder" CHANGE THIS
the macro will recast the spell "Eagle Eye" CHANGE THIS
REQUIREMENT Spellcast.inc for reliable spell casting which can be found here:
http://macroquest2.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6748
It will display the experience gain as an echo and popup.
HISTORY:
UNKNOWN DATE Created by loadingpleasewait
May 5, 2004 Modified by Kasodo updated to MQ2Data /MQ2Datavars Autosnare at 70%
May 17, 2004 Modified by loadingpleasewait to swat bugs, make automelee
work automatically, make the autosnare a toggle and all around make it better
May 18,2004 Modified by loadingpleasewait added an autotaunt when within closecombat
also added root toggle to toggle weather or not to ReRoot your target
May 21, 2004 Modified by loadingpleasewait more bugs swatted, added check for mobs immune to snare
so the macro doesnt keep trying to cast on the mob, over and over and over and over and over... etc..
fixxed the forage looping issue when you would have to wait longer to forage..
USAGE:
/mac arch <forage|snare|taunt|root>
Use all, or none, in any order seperated by spaces to do specified action

Everything in it works perfect, my necro has a hotkey that assists the groups maintank and also sends a tell to the ranger bot saying "assist". He starts firing arrows right away, melees when necessary, adjusts his position to always face the mob. Rebuffs his attacking buffs. Buffs the group when they ask for a certain buff (tanks love CoR heh). SoE's the puller etc.. its really nice. But when there is another mage/necro in the group, I want them to be able to ask the buff bot to soe their pet also.
I tried it another way.. I made a hotkey, set to 0.
Code: Select all
/rt
/pause 3
/target ${Target.Pet}
/pause 3
/cast 1
I then changed my Event to
When I press the 0 key manually, it works. When I try and trigger it via chat/tell, it doesnt. I am at a loss, but seeing i am very new to this whole thing, i am not surprised

I know sometimes /rt can be slow to get a target. Try adding a delay 1s just like your other subs to be sure /rt gets the targetting done. If you try to /target ${Target.Pet} before you actually have a target then your going to get no target other than your /rt when it catches up. Macros run very fast so this might help.

Tried that too, still didnt help.. hmm tomorrow when i get time, ill try adding the delay BEFORE the /rt.. other than that, I am not sure what else to try.

Just a curious question for ya. Have you tried something like this?
Code: Select all
Sub Event_castpet(sLine)
| { <--- Don't need these
/target ${sLine.Arg[1]}
/delay 3
/target ${Target.Pet}
/delay 3
/call cast "Spirit of Eagles" gem1
| } <--- Don't need this one either
/return
If I'm just rehashing old-ground sorry. :)

or even just something like...
Code: Select all
Sub Event_castpet(sLine)
/target npc ${Spawn[pc ${sLine.Arg[1]}].Pet}
/call cast "Spirit of Eagles" gem1
/return
