Mob cycling

Hi guys. I'm having a lil trouble getting started with a section of macro I am working on right now. Was hoping yall might be able to help.

I want to cycle through every mob in the zone from level (x) to level (y)

Target first mob

If hp's == 100 percent
Then /con mob
Else move to next mob

rinse and repeat

Any ideas how this could be written? Thanks in advance

why would you want to target every mob in the zone? wouldn't you just want to target something within a certain rage, zip lining to a mob will look strange and may cause a petition if you keep doing it over and over again.

Actually targeting mobs that are too far away will give inaccurate HP levels. SO all in all this is a decent idea it just doesn't work in practice.

Imperfect - You bring up a very valid point, and I may want to leave that check out.

YKW - Whoever said I was going to go anywhere near the mob? Mwuhahahahah...

You can target an NPC, hit tab, hit tab (Cycle from mob target to yourself to the mob) and its health will start to drop down to where it is... Tab twice again and its health will be at the proper level.

Does take time though =/

Life - I am having trouble using this code. I think my problem is a lack of understanding regarding the left, right, shield type of stuff.

Anyone that can explain $spawn($l0,held,right)... or more importantly how it is used?

Riz - I very rarely care to explain myself, but I'm more or less playing with macro's and arrays. Or trying to.

L124Rd - I love to see your brain at work bud. any luck with multiple notid's?

Salutations,
haven't tried... I will tomorrow, tomorrows plan:

get up
run around like an idiot
eat break fast
sit down at comp
start playing everquest
realize I haven't taken a shower yet
take a shower
get dressed
sit down at comp
slack off for 10 hours ( www.sluggy.com )
forget to do multiple notid's
sleep

any additions to this list will be added as they come, but thats my plan right now :p

I doubt multiple notid's works as MQ handles it...havn't found a need to test it out tho...in the case that it does NOT work

The best way to accomplish such a task I am thinking would be to

clear alert list
:loop
do action (who/target) with not alert argument
add result to alert
goto loop

Salutations,
wow, very good idea... testing notid's now, then we'll know... both our ways work, but you're right, yours is much prettier...

Salutations,
nope, last notid is the one its uses... alerts would work though, good thinkin'

Must be a reason so many people are interested in this... hmm

First off, you have all been incredibly helpful.

Second... I've got another question for ya. How can I add my target to an alert list? I just read a great post by L124RD regarding alerts, but didn't see a command that would add my target to the alert. Thanks in advance.
