Problem with distance

all the versions mq ever have been are stored in cvs... you can check out any date you like...

Shouldn't

/if n $target(distance)>199 /goto :distance loop

be

/if n $target(distance)>199 /goto :distanceloop

Have you tried puting in debug?
Example:

Code: Select all

:distanceloop
/if n $target(distance)>=200 {
   /echo Matched distance more than 199
   /echo Mob distance: $target(distance)
   /delay 1s
   /goto :distanceloop
}
/echo Did not match distance more than 199
/echo Mob distance: $target(distance)

Thanks

well I put in an echo to show the $target(distance) and even it wouldnt even go into the loop so I know somehow the if statement isnt passing.

Did you put one after the if too? You want one inside the if statement to see if the if is matching as true, and you want one after to see if it just matches false and continues. I just tested $target(distance) on my machine and it works fine.

Also without seeing all of your code there isn't really any good way to debug your code. The error could be anywhere else in the macro. It may not even be making it to that sub routine.

Thanks

Try reversing the logic of the comparison. Instead of

Code: Select all

/if n $target(distance)>=200 {

use

Code: Select all

/if n 200<$target(distance) {

Ok I put it in and it is definetly a probelm with $target(distance) It appears that sometimes (not onlways...seems kinda random so far) That the $target(distance) value is about 1/2 of what it should be. Like my $target(distance)>100 is standing me up right when I am within casting range which is about 200. Could I just have compiled it wrong or what?

Ok its actually showwing less then half most of the time. SOmetimes hoewever it does show the correct didtance. This sucks

It's not broken -- it is your macro.

Distill the problem down to the smallest macro that fails and post it here. THere are so many errors in your previous macros, I don't know where to begin.

driftinsupra · Post by **driftinsupra** » Wed Sep 24, 2003 3:37 am

Well I sort of doubt it is my macro for 2 reason:

1.) The macro ran perfectly before I updated the version

2.) I can type /echo $target(distance) and it return bogus value like 50 when I am not even in casting distance. This is without using a macro.

Something strange is going on and it has nothing to do with my macro.

You are not standing over your target, are you?

Does this problem show up in PoK when targeting one of the bankers?
