Something odd with /assist

wassup · Post by **wassup** » Wed Jul 16, 2003 1:56 pm

Working on a bot, here is a simple part but has a strange result:

    /if "$arg(1,"$p2")"=="slow" { 
       /sit off
       /tar <roguename>
       /assist
       /cast "turgur's insects"
    }

The macro targets <roguename>, then /assist brings up his target, but when Turgur's Insect's is cast it hit's <roguename>

*edit*

Nevermind, it seems that this won't work, but if you simply use /assist <roguename> it works fine.

Kind of puzzling.

Try...

Code: Select all

    /if "$arg(1,"$p2")"=="slow" { 
       /sit off 
       /tar <roguename> 
       /assist 
       /delay 5
       /cast "turgur's insects" 
    }

It will pause you for half a second before you start casting. you may not be giving the assist enough time to work =)

When I did the /assist, the rogue's target appeared in the target window, but the Turgur's Insects was being cast on the rogue.

What I found out after testing was that there needs to be some delays in there. It seems the server wasn't catching up with the client.

The delay isnt in there just for macroquest. It accounts for lag between server and client. For instance. The other day i made a hotkey to assist the puller. My hotkey looked like this

/assist puller_name
/g my target is %t lets bash its head.

I would often spam the group with

Toonhere tells the group" My target is target lets bash its head in.

after about an hour of being thrashed with that group say. I changed it to this:
/assist puller_name
/pause 5
/g my target is %t lets bash its head.

After that there were no problems what so ever with the simple hotkey
