Hi Guys!,

New member here .. great site and really cool!.

Here is what i do currently and what I would like to do.

I am 3 boxing a shaman(meleedps merc)/bard(tank merc)/mage(healer merc).

I currently control everything from the shaman with eqbc and one key press.

I am in an instance that has no kos and in that instance I am in a small room full of non social mobs. I target the first one hit my eqbc button and everything goes down. repeat. loot. and wait about 30 seconds for mobs to respawn... do it all again.

What I would like to do is automate the targeting, hit the already make eqbc hotbutton then loot .. repeat. then a pause for mobs to respawn and repeat.

I was playing with a mac from the class list called shambuff that i have casting haste and Spirit of the Leopard on tank. this works nice and simple for my needs.

I would like to add to this make the targeting of the mobs in the room (rats). hit the eqbc hotbutton. loot everything.

I am sure this would just be a couple of snippets inserted into this shambuff.mac file and i have looked through a number of macs to find what I am looking for but most use arrays read from an ini file and i get lost there.

Also in the shambuff macro i would like to specify that the tank merc is the tank and gets the buffs cast on him (do i just list the mercs full name in the shambuff file?). Things die fast so I am not worried about total efficiancy and my shaman will be getting the group versions soon enough so that will take care of that anyway.

Thanks for any help/suggestions.

I hope fhalls works out well for you! In the past it has been watched by GMs.

The way I did this when I macro'd fhalls was using the logic:

if mana && hp were above 80% and i was out of combat, /target los rat, /bcaa //target id ${Target.ID}, cast slow, /bcaa //kill this

My Shaman wouldn't buff the group individually. He would only use group versions. He would check for the existence of the buffs on himself and if it was missing, he would cast it.

It kept it pretty simple, but effective. I leveled to 71 or so I think there.
 
will "/target los rat" work just like that? do I need some kind of wildcard like *_rat?

If its that easy i can insert that and /keypress 6 right after the gm check and just forget looting at this point.

For mana the time between sapwns is more than enough to regen to full (mage and shaman are mounted).

Added:
I dont slow at all in there .. I want the bard/mage ds to work to its fullest and no one ever goes below 95% health.

I think /target los rat will work. Though, you could probably make it a bit more accurate like:

/target los npc rat radius 250

That will target a mob with rat in its name that you can see that is within 250, uh, feet? of you.

You'd want to incorporate some logic, though.
 
Super ! Thanks .. its running away right now lol

I just added this and a delay of 30 to make sure I didnt target a new rat and its perfect.. perfectly sloppy lol but working like a charm.

That's a good place to start. Now try to expand it and make it better! At some point you should be able to move on to other, not so safe zones!
