trying to figure out a AA ability #

Post by rasor » Mon Jul 05, 2004 6:16 pm

I usually log in to mirc but for some reason I cant seem to connect to the server atm. I am looking for the /activate # for the enchanters Eldrich Rune aa ability. Can anyone please tell me the number as well as point me in the direction of a master list of aa activation numbers if one exsists that is. Thank you.

Use the SEARCH tool. Google owns you. This is not an MQ question.
I found all /alt activate numbers, including those for passive abilities on a druid board somewhere.

Or just do ${AltAbility[Eldritch Rune].ID} =)

Current reuse time?

Post by EQBot_man » Tue Jul 20, 2004 9:37 pm

Well I found Harvest od Druzzil and used it in one of my macros but I don't see a member that can tell me how long before the next reuse time or if I can use the alt ability now. Am I reading the help file wrong? Is there a member that can tell me this?

ReuseTime member only tells you the max time of the reuse timer not the current time

To find the time left you use ${Me.AltAbilityTimer[Ability Name].Time} or you can use ${Me.AltAbilityReady[Ability Name]}. It is located in the Character struct not the abilities one.

Unless it was fixed in the last 2 days it has been temporarily disabled becuase the structure has changed in the last update. I haven't got a new version since the 17th's zip.

Those alternate Abilityes aren't AA abilityes those only work with fishing.. Bash, Backstab etc. I need something that will recognize when Harvest of Drizzul is up/down, or any active(as opposed to passive) AA ability

Think simple.

Press it, if you get the message that says something like - You can use your Harvest of Druzzil ability again in 5 minutes 22 seconds (for example), make an event to happens when it sees that text.

Code: Select all

eg, #Event Evt_Harvest "You can use your Harvest of Druzzil ability again in #1# minutes #2# seconds#*#"

Sub Evt_Harvest
  /varset bHarvestReady 0
  | you can /delay by the mins and seconds if you want passed by parameter
/return
If no event happens, the ability is ready.

So in your code to do the check, you could do:

Code: Select all

/varset bHarvestReady 1
/alt ability <number of harvest of druzzil>
/doevents
/newif (!${bHarvestReady}) /echo harvest unavailable
This is just an example, you'll need to work the coding for your needs, and get the message text that appears when you press harvest and it isnt available. I am at work so dont expect this to run as you copy/paste, this is purely for illustration only.

Yours,
