Rusty~
I recently upgraded to your latest spell_routines.inc.
Below, is my summon arrow subroutine:
Code: Select all
Sub event_SummonArrow(line,int arrows)
/declare a int local
/echo Summoning ${arrows} stack(s) of arrows.
/for a 1 to ${arrows}
/call cast "Tolan's Darkwood Bracer" item
/autoinventory
/next a
/return
This worked great, until the latest spell_routines.inc - I'm frequently finding that the autoinventory is not functioning.
Did something change that may affect this?

it just returns control to your macro sooner now (which is a good thing!)... the problem is there's a small delay between when you finish casting a summoned item and when it appears on your cursor. this should fix your problem though:
Code: Select all
/call cast "Tolan's Darkwood Bracer" item
/delay 1s ${Cursor.ID}
/autoinventory
[/code]

That appears to fix the autoinventory issue, but I typically do not have my Tolan's equipped - so it swaps it in, casts, then swaps back.
What happens is that it will get 'stuck' and I'll have the Tolan's AND the arrows on my cursor. I have to /mqpause to correct it, and then unpause the macro again.

Not sure if I want to change over to this or not, needs some work to do what I want but stealing some things here and there till I decide what is best for me.
Seems this doesn't work. Just gives syntax.
/windowstate spellbook close
Found a post from DKAA saying it uses windownames now and /windows will list them. Course my server is down so I can't do that command to find the name for ya.

Sorry noob question...How do i retrieve the return value from spell_routines.inc such as CAST_RESISTED.
I saw somewhere this syntax but it is not working for me:
/if ($return==CAST_RESISTED) {
/blah
/blah
}
Can you plz post how to do this i would RTFM if i knew where the FM was /grin.

Code: Select all
/call Cast "Ultor's Greaves of Faith" item
/if (${Macro.Return.Equal["CAST_RESISTED"]}){
/if (${announce}==1) {
/g %T RESISTED ${morspell}
} else {
/chat #${mychannel} %T RESISTED ${morspell}
}
}
Whats wrong with this?

Code: Select all
/if (${Macro.Return.Equal["CAST_RESISTED"]}){
need a space before you put a bracket

Works well, my tolan's macro is back to working as intended.

Not sure about this one - but I think in the older release, it used to return the swapped item to the original bag slot.
It appears to auto-inventory it now.
Bad thing being, before - I could /arrows 100, and it would only drop arrows on the ground. Now, it will actually drop the Tolan's.

is ${Macro.Return} working as intended? I had this in my ranger macro to detect resisted snares, some reason it wasnt returning anything. I've bandaged up my macros by putting local events in, but using macro.return was alot cleaner.

${Macro.Return} works fine. not sure why you'd be having problems with it really.
and yes, there are some bugs in the itemswap code again i found, i'm going to work on rewriting it again =/
i had problems when people would cast mod rods or something while casting and i'd get stuck in a loop so i added the autoinventory stuff.. but that introduced new problems now heh
