New Macro'er needs help

[cypher7]

I need to create a macro to do this

Here's how to do it with macroquest. First you'll need the map plug-in and will need to turn it on. Next, turn on your map and turn on all the NPC's in South Karana by typing /mapfilter npc... that will either set it to show or hide.. if it sets it to hide, type it again and it will set it to show. Now you will be looking at all the npc's in south karana. Ok, next step... either pull a ton of mobs and nuke them all at once or otherwise look for an un-named ordinary lion, centuar, aviak, wolf or escaped gnoll that is close to splitpaw and is coming from the south and heading north. As soon as you kill this one or many mobs, start your stop-watch ( you will need one ). Now type: /maphide npc "a". This will clear every single mob from your map with the letter "a" in it which will basically clear your map of everyone except Brother Qwinn. Now.... watch your map... when the re-pops occur they will show up on the map... if you did the multi-mob method then you will probably see a bunch respawn at exactly 38 seconds... type /maphide npc "a" again to clear them from the map. At 78 seconds, IF YOU MANAGED TO KILL THE PH when you started the timer, a mob will appear. This means one of two things... either you have found Quillmane's PH or you have found the only other 78 second respawn that pop's in the southern half of zone. If a mob pops at 78 seconds that is north of paw, it's the wrong PH. Otherwise... as soon as that mob pops, go get him, and kill him again and immediately start your watch. If he respawns at 78 seconds then you either have Quillmane's PH or you have the second "southern- half" 78 second spawn. The way to tell the difference between the 2 78 second mobs is that the wrong one will always spawn on the east side and never the west. The correct spawn will spawn on both east and west side of zone in various random places but always to the south of paw. If you have the correct one... keep killing him and start your watch at 78 seconds everytime you kill him until a quillmane spawns (and start your timer even after you kill quillmane as the cloak is roughly a 1 in 10 chance per quillmane). Use /maphide npc "a" everytime some random garbage in the zone spawns that is not on your cycle. Your map will show you everytime he spawns at 78 seconds and usually on average one out of 10 Ph's will be a quillmane... and one out of 10 quillmanes will drop a cloak... but sometimes it can take up to 30+ PH's for a quillmane to spawn. The most important thing is that you find the PH who is one of only two 78 second spawns in the southern half of zone, and that he is spawning both in the east and west part of the southern half of zone or otherwise you have the 2nd souther half 78 second spawn which is what you don't want. The only hard part is finding the PH... the rest is just starting you timer, clearing the crud that spawns in-between spawns or after spawns using /maphide npc "a", and making sure to watch as the ph keeps respawning. I did this all last night and tonight so I am 100% confident in this information. I am tired of this stupid mob screwing over so many mages (who have no track) in their quest for the obsolete epic 1.0. Hope this helps guys... and btw.. most of the information I have posted was already posted by that RPGExpert.com guy but he was wrong about the idea that there are "six spawn locations" and also wrong in his list of possible PH's... the list is much wider as the PH can be practically anything but is usually a lion, centaur, aviak, shadow wolf, or escaped split-paw gnoll.

I am new to macroquest and would appretiate any help regarding how to do this thanks so much[/quote]

okay, so what have you got so far?
what part of the script doing what you described above, do you need help with?

[DigitalMocking]

I'd help, but you have to indent, use paragraphs and separate that unreadable mess out for me.

Isn't there already a Quillmane macro posted somewhere here?

Second time is a charm, eh cypher?

I find it hard to believe that you're truly stupid enough to ask AGAIN for the very same macro that got you stickied at the top of this forum for being a dumbshit. Therefore, this must be a joke, and I ROFL at it.

Edit: THen again, after reading your compiling problems in the help forum, maybe you are that dumb.

This guy fails the MQ2 idiot test. He is officially too damn stupid to use MQ2 and it is time to put him on ignore.

found this macro in another thread. Hope it helps!

Code: Select all

   /echo Quill Finder Macro enabled 
   /peti Quill Finder Macro Enabled - Watching for Quill to spawn to auto kill 

   :loop 

   /target npc "Quillamane" 
   /delay 1 

   /if ($Me.Target.Equals[Quillamane]) { 
      /attack on

works perfectly, have used it myself many times

i think this has been said before and if not it should have been: Can we have a MQ2 form of the Darwin Awards? The award would go to those that get themselves kicked from the forums in unique (i.e. really really dumb) ways. There have been many good posts that should be up for the award, if nothing else should be a good laugh.

[fearless]

That's what this and this are for.

[Rand Al'Thor]

Aye, they are what gave me the idea. Was just thinking it could be a laugh to vote, say once a month, on which one is the best (dumbist).

This also shows why it is bad to have too much time before a raid, you start get to odd ideas.

on which one is the best (dumbist).

I think you might have won the irony award

[Rand Al'Thor]

hehe was hoping someone would see that and get the joke. Thank you, that helps make my day
