ARCH.Mac v2.4 [All Purpose Ranger Mac] (Updated: 10-27-04)

[loadingpleasewait]

was thinking about an autonuke actually.. How many nukes per mob would you want to cast?

Was curious what people think about patchhealer.. I know that I've saved a tank or two from near death with the patch heal percent set at 20%, but was now also thinking about casters and adding a seperate heal percent for them. What do you think?

and assistpercent works great for me.. Mind you I always arch, and rarely melee, so i dont know how well it works in a melee environment..

Something to think about. If in combat, dont rebuff.

Check the latest version. You should see that the lazy ranger call thats within the combat subs is commented out..

Hence, it shouldnt be buffing during combat..

HOWEVER, I dont use the assist buffs and I believe those still do buff during combat..

What about an auto tell to the cleric in group for a rez?

Okey on the assistpercent issue this is my problem.

Didn't check melee, but while arch is being used, and settankname set, as well as autoassist set to a certain percent it seems to just automatically start firing. I will test it a bit more tonight to find out exactly where the issues are.

Also the macro breaking with an error on close combat and enrage like I told you I got the error codes for it, I will post them once I am done raiding.

As for nukes with the way the new times are set on them I would imagine one fire one ice nuke per fight. If you choose to nuke at all. Say a nuke at 75% and one at 25%? dunno just ideas.

I read thru the thread and didn't see this problem, I have all auto-stuff off except forage. Want to learn the macro using basic stuff, but whenever something dies my toon tries to cast a spell? Slot 5 is whats its tring to cast.

status shows all the auto stuff set to false.

Any idea?

[dman]

Fennec, near the top of the macro change

Code: Select all

   /declare i int local 

to

Code: Select all

   /declare i int outer

The reason for this is the checkbehind code is trying to use a local variable from another sub, changing it to outer shouldn't affect much as its used as a counter (unless check_behind gets called from within a loop using the same variable....but that would be bad anyways).

[loadingpleasewait]

Dman is correct.. Thanks..

Change that, and enrage should work.

phillychuck:
Slot 5 would be Jolt.. Check to see if autojolt is on/off /setjolt

UPDATED:
Small tweaks and fixes... thanks for all your input..

Tweaked forage just a smidge, thanks fennecfox.
Enrage check should actually be working now, Thanks dman.

Alright this macro owns all, I've been tweaking and playing with it to suit my needs. However i'm having difficulty. The macro runs perfect and does everythign I could possibly want at this moment except one thing.


When it assists and triggers to attack I would like it to /stick 10 behind instead of just sticking to the mob the way it does.. I'm eatting a ton of reposits and was wondering if someone could give me a hand. I'm sure it's a very easy fix, i'm just having trouble finding the right spot to modify.

[loadingpleasewait]

Just add the word "behind" after /stick, like so:

Code: Select all

/if (${Target.Distance}>30 && ${Me.RangedReady} && !${noarch}) /ranged 
    /if (${noarch} && ${useMU} && ${stickonnoarch} && ${Stick.Status.Equal[OFF]}) { 
       /if (${Me.Swimming}) { 
         /squelch /stick 60% behind uw 
       } else { 
         /squelch /stick 60% behind
       } 
     }

then in the gothit event, add /stick 60% like so:

Code: Select all

sub event_GotHit
    /if (${autojolt} && ${Me.SpellReady[${joltspell}]}) {
      /popup Agro Detected, Casting Jolt!
      /call cast "${joltspell}" gem5 5s
}
    /if (${noarch} && ${useMU} && ${stickonnoarch} && ${Stick.MoveBehind}) { 
       /if (${Me.Swimming}) { 
         /squelch /stick 60% uw 
       } else { 
         /squelch /stick 60%
       } 
     }
/return

This will be included in the next version.. Basically, if you get hit while sticking behind, it will just do regular stick so you dont go dancing all over the mob trying to get behind a mob that you have the agro of.

:EDIT: after second thought, maybe wont add this.. some rangers believe they are good tanks, (I know I know) and would prefer to stick in front, if thats the case, this wouldnt work..

Also, considering using the MQ2Alias plugin instead of storing aliases in the macroquest.ini. you can find the plugin here http://www.macroquest2.com/phpBB2/viewt ... highlight= good Idea, or no? need input.

Sounds good, everything working great for the application I had intended.. Thanks much for the assistance.

Ok one more request.. Woudl it be possible to add a Waypoint toggle.. and be able to set a waypoint to return to after combat is done. I'm doing great with the macro, but when i'm using melee I end up in pull path alot of the time.. woudl be awesome to set waypoints when combat is over..

If you can help I would greatly appreciate! I coudl rip code out of another macro, but i'd rather let a professional do it!
