Help with MQ2Cast

[Darkon]

for the most part MQ2cast is great especially with clickies and AAs as well as alt abilities. I am trying to create a macro I can run on rez to hit all the clickie buffs as well as spell buffs. the clickies and AAS work fine Spells on the other hand are really hit and miss on weather or not they actually cast. I have been through the mq2cast wiki and have tried a few differant things and still no help. dermal brimstone wont cast it will mem but never tries to cast. prescience and hast always mem but its a 30% chance that they actually cast even with the retries set to 10.

You have all kind of crazy spelling/syntax errors your items have to be spelled exactly correct for it to work i.e go allah and fix your shit.

/call MQ2Cast Sash of the Pox-Blessed" |item - missing opening "

I would guess your problem is MQ2Cast timing out after memming a spell. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it doesn't retry a spell if it times out after memming no matter what you have the -maxtries set to. -maxtries is only if the spell is interrupted or resisted or something like that.

Also I'm don't have the file with me atm to look at it but pretty sure the routine in the include has the 3rd parameter as being the give up time setting. The way you are calling it you would be passing -maxtries as that give up time setting. Try doing this instead

     /call MQ2Cast "SpellName" gem1 10s -maxtries|4

And play around with the 10s time to see if that gives you more consistent results.

as far as spell names CAPS are irrelevant. I did fix the missing quote. but thanks Gnawstone just as well as GnAwStONe.

Thanks Dev will give that a shot.

Just make 2 lines.. one for it to load the spell and delay until its read and one to cast it.

something like

/if (!${Me.SpellReady[JackMeOff]}) {
/call MQ2Cast LineToMemThatSpell
/delay 15s ${Me.SpellReady[JackMeOff]}
/call MQ2Cast SpellYouWantCasted
}

 

[Darkon]

Thanks JJ and yea that's what I ended up doing. the spell timing is not critical this is for when I am freshly rezzed and just wants buffs done.

/memorize "Voice of Prescience Rk. II" Gem8
/delay 5s
/casting "Voice of Prescience Rk. II" Gem8

that's what I went with and it seems to be working

One more thing to consider

I use the ${Cast.Status} flag to tell when MQ2Cast is actually casting or not (and can move to the next spell). You could make a subroutine that you call after each spell cast (i.e. /call CheckCast)

Sub CheckCast
:wait
/if ${Cast.Status.NotEqual[I]} /goto :wait
/return

${Cast.Status} can be any of the following values:
* I: idle and waiting for you
* A: advpath pause
* F: stick pause
* S: immobilize in progress
* M: memorize in progress
* E: item swapped
* D: ducking casting
* T: targeting
* C: spell casting in progress
