Assist Macro

[eqmacjunkie]

Help

Hello everyone, i am currently having one hell of a time trying to write myself a macro to assist my main tank and /stick when the mob gets to camp.

i have tried to modify current assist macros and even peice out some of the bot macros all to no avail.

i currently use the EQMac compile. any assistance would be great. i think once i can get this code straight it would be extremely easy for me to modify it to run on the tank to taunt and cast.

 

[eqmacjunkie]

anyone able to give me a starting point or some pointers on how to write this thing?

Play with this.

Sub Target
:loop
/assist Tankname
/if (${Target.ID} && ${Target.Type.Equal[NPC]} && ${Target.PctHPs} < 97 && ${Target.Distance} < 50) {
/stick
/delay 1s
/killthis
/return
}
/goto :loop
/return

that will just turn killthis on over and over. You need to add in a check to see if it is already in combat

That's why it isn't Sub Main.

Figured if he was working on modifying an already made assist macro then he'd know how to call a sub or something.

Add in the name of tank. If it does not have a target / targets a corpse / or target is over 50 distance it should reassist the MA

/declare TankName string PUT_TANK_NAME_HERE
 
Sub Main

:Main

/if (!${Target.ID} || ${Target.Type.Equal[Corpse]} || ${Target.Distance} < 50) /call Assist_MA

/if (${Target.ID} && (${Target.Distance}<50|| ${Target.Type.Equal[Corpse]})) /squelch /target clear

/goto :Main

Sub Assist_MA

/assist ${TankName}

/delay 5

/if (${Target.ID} && ${Target.Type.Equal[NPC]} && !${Me.Combat} && ${Target.Distance} < 50 && ${Target.PctHPs} < 97) {
/stick behind 15
/attack on
}
/return

so it should stick to the mob and be attacking if it looks like this

/declare TankName string PUT_TANK_NAME_HERE
 
Sub Main

:Main

/if (!${Target.ID} || ${Target.Type.Equal[Corpse]} || ${Target.Distance} < 50 ) /call Assist_MA

/goto :Main

Sub Assist_MA

/assist ${TankName}

/delay 5
[COLOR="Yellow"]/stick 10 behind[/COLOR]

/if (${Target.ID} && ${Target.Type.Equal[NPC]} && !${Melee.Combat} && ${Target.Distance} < 50) /killthis
/delay 15
/return

maybe this will help, this is the one im trying to use, it seems to assist the tank and turn attack on, but never moves to the mob.

i believe the movement code is broken for the eqmac compile, i was trying to get around the movement code by just telling the macro to /stick 10 behind as soon as it assists but cant seem to get that to work

 

[JimJohnson]

Melee works does it not? if so just use the /killthis command and it handles the movement based on your ini on melee.

The /killthis should handle the sticking for you but in the macro you are referencing i would just change this to add

 /if (${Spawn[${AssistGuy}].Type.Equal[PC]} && ${Spawn[${AssistGuy} radius 100].ID}) {
			/delay 1s
			/assist ${AssistGuy}
			/stick 15 behind
                       [COLOR="Yellow"] /killthis[/COLOR]

			/stick 15 behind
                        /killthis

ah ok maybe thats what im missing if you are refering to mq2melee. that plugin has not been released for the eqmac compile. is there a way to do this without that plugin?

 

[JimJohnson]

Edited the macro above to remove the melee stuff and just use /attack on with a stick behind 15

 

[eqmacjunkie]

ok i got it to work with this

Sub Main

:Main

/if (!${Target.ID} || ${Target.Type.Equal[Corpse]} || ${Target.Distance} < 50) 

/call Assist_MA

/goto :Main

Sub Assist_MA

/assist Tank

/delay 5

/if (${Target.ID} && ${Target.Type.Equal[NPC]} && !${Me.Combat} && 

${Target.Distance} < 50) {
/stick behind 15
/attack on
}

/return

some reason i couldnt get the health percent to work and the corpse line was causing it to hang up also.

next question how would i add in a doability to modify this for a tank, for example taunt or to cast a stun. i have no spellroutines.inc or mq2cast.

 

[JimJohnson]

I No longer play and have not actually writen a macro in years, so my syntax may be off at times. But you should be able t use it as reference to get the right spot on the wiki

Sub Main

:Main

/if (!${Target.ID} || ${Target.Type.Equal[Corpse]} || ${Target.Distance} < 50) 

/call Assist_MA

/goto :Main

Sub Assist_MA

/assist Dubstep

/delay 5

/if (${Target.ID} && ${Target.Type.Equal[NPC]} && !${Me.Combat} && 

${Target.Distance} < 50) {
/stick behind 15
/attack on
}
:Combat
|Check target CombatState AbilityReady -- UseSkill
/if (${Target.Type.Equal[NPC]} && ${Me.Combat} && ${Me.AbilityReady[YourSkill]}) /doability YourSkill

|loops to :Combat while in Me.Combat=TRUE
/if (${Me.Combat}) /goto :Combat


/return

i have a old assist mac that use to work great for all melee including bards, i don't rember where i got it but it was made by edud, if your still around, thank you. i don't know if i can post it here, so pm me with a email address and ill share it with you
