Will this macro work?

[Morx]

Sub Main

	:mainLoop
		/target mob
		/if (${Target.CleanName.Equal[mob]) /call Harmtouch
	/goto :mainloop
	/end

Sub Harmtouch

	:attack
		{
		/alt activate 6000
		}
 
/return

of course "mob" would be replaced with the spawn I'm trying to target.

I would like the macro to just stand still, trying to target a mob over and over again. As soon as it does target it, HT it immediately.

Could I just add /alt activate 6000 at the end of the /if statement, instead of /call Harmtouch? Or do I need the /call?

Thanks!

Sub Main

	:mainLoop
		/if (${SpawnCount[mobname]}) {
			/target mobname
			/if (${Me.AltAbilityReady[Harm Touch]} && ${Target.ID}) /alt activate 6000
					      }
	/goto :mainloop
/return

This is how I probably would do it. This way it doesn't spam HT if its down, and it isn't just trying to target something over and over again.

Not exactly sure what it does, but does #turbo have any relevance here, or does it loop fast enough that it'd be pretty much instant?

Increasing turbo wouldn't do much here. Its for those massive macs with a ton of subroutines.

Added npc to the spawncount, people get creative with players and pet names.

Sub Main

	:mainLoop
		/if (${SpawnCount[[B]npc [/B]mobname]}) {
			/target mobname
			/if (${Me.AltAbilityReady[Harm Touch]} && ${Target.ID}) /alt activate 6000
					      }
	/goto :mainloop
/return

True!

 

[Tziki]

apparently it works well

This really doesn't strike me as cheating smarter... Using MQ2 to kill raid spawns on Fippy in one hit... isn't that very akin to the grief ND caused? Yeah I know it's using in-game mechanics, but the ability to automate it and make it happen in less than a second, i.e. beyond human reaction, is asking for it.

*shrug* I just think you are opening a can of worms you really don't want to open.

 

[PeteSampras]

This is bringing very unwanted attention to mq2. you guys using it for this dragon slaying on TLP servers are being idiots about it. your names are posted from logs on SOE forums from people sitting around watching you. This is NOT cheating smarter and you are hurting the rest of us that aren't on TLP.

 

[DemonH2]

Can someone enlighten me, what is so important about killing those mobs on those servers?

 

[Tziki]

trak's teeth for vp key, vp unlocks next expansion. Honestly log in to fippy you'll see some of the most blatant warping and mq use imaginable and it's actually quite hilarious. I haven't seen one person banned for warping etc even when they are so blatant about it. Officers from twisted legion will sit at chardok zone in and summon corpses from anywhere in zone or warp back to their camps like its not a bad thing. It's not really TLP more like who can hack the best and macro the best sk's, mind you the entire raiding population is aware of this, it's dumb beyond belief.

 

[DemonH2]

Ahhh okay. I figured it was something like that.

 

[Ladon]

Yeah. As a Shadowknight of one of the raiding guilds (and not just some boxed fucking alt) this macro and things like it are seriously damaging the servers. It's drawing a lot of attention to MMO (as in my Mumble there were guys talking about this thread specifically and how fucking wrong it is) and to MQ in general.

I wasn't running this on Trak last night-- I had set up a button to /target and /alt activate with my G510. My button was pressed FOUR TIMES at 21 seconds into the minute and I didn't get a HT off.

Well closing the thread isn't gonna do anything.

Anyone with half a brain and a tiny amount of free time can figure out how to make that macro.

Just report the people you see doing it and move along, the more attention you bring to this the worse its gonna get.
