Can someone please explain what exactly is a Holyshit and Downshit? I dont know how to write macros or anything. Anyone able to break it down Barney Style of what a Holyshit and Downshit is? lol thanks
Holyshit/downshit are conditions checked by MQ2Melee during each "pulse", or as far as end user is concerned, pretty much constantly.
Holyshit = commands MQ2Melee checks/executes during combat.
Downshit = commands MQ2Melee checks/executes during non-combat.
The commands can be anything (i.e., any EQ command or MQ2 command) - so anything that you could type in game, can be done in one of these.
Commonly the format takes a conditional (if this, or this, and this, etc.), that if the condition is true, then to execute the command(s) listed.
They are great for a lot of things, but esp. keeping buffs on yourself or others, or certain debuffs on mob, etc.
An example might be a Paladin who wants to keep up self-buffs during downtime, and things like Yaulp during combat. You can add those as conditional holyshits/downshits, and it will be automated for you.
You can even put zone checks in the conditionals (again, anything you can do in game is valid), so it would only do the command(s) if you were in certain zones, or NOT in certain zones (like guild lobby, for instance).
If you go through the thread, you will get a general idea of the kind of things people are using them for.
htw
