Advbot.mac - Advanced Caster Bot - Heal/Debuff/Buff

storekeeper · Post by **storekeeper** » Sat Jun 26, 2004 5:27 pm

I have been trying to tweak this macro to suite my needs and have really liked most things I have run across with it so far. However there are a couple things in it that are driving me crazy. I would like to know how to either change them if they are designed to be working as such or if thats not how its designed to work, then what have I done wrong.

- First thing is it even appropriate to wanna change someone's macro? I mean I don't wish to offend the maker of this mac and all his work. I do not wish to seem ungrateful or unappreciative of your toils.

On to my quirks I need help addressing.

- ASSIST AND ONLY ASSIST - I believe by its intended function, This macro is to automatically target anything in the radius area and start debuffing it. This might be fine when I am experiencing, but is quite deadly when I am in a raid enviroment( What I would like it to do, is only debuff upon assisting another person and only then. I went about setting the radius to 0 and it stopped debuffing on its own, but wouldn't assist either.

- STOP CHANGING MY TARGET - Is there any way to stop the mac from always targetting self. This gives me quite some troubles when I want to take control a little and do some /assist healing and have to keep reassigning my target back off myself. Which would actually lead me to next topic...

- SPAM HEALS - How would I set up something so I keep track of X Y and Z Tanks in a raid and spam heal them as needed. Especially the Main Tank that needs 100 spams on a mob? Other then having them in my group.

- ACK! DON"T TAKE THE REZ! How do I go about stopping the automatic accept punts and rez's and denying invites? This is convienant most times, but is sometimes not a good idea.

- MAXIMIZING THE FA QUEUE - I saw multiple people asking about fer/fa stuffs. Would like to add one more, How could I go about setting up a buff bot for folks outside my group. My thoughts here is to maintain avatar on a few people that I punch in without having to worry about it.

Leave range at 100 and put a Main Assist and only debuff what MA has targetted Refer to the readme file for help setting that in game, I usually do it via config file.

Dont know this one but someone asked for it also before, cannt remeber what was done with this.

- SPAM HEALS - How would I set up something so I keep track of X Y and Z Tanks in a raid and spam heal them as needed. Especially the Main Tank that needs 100 spams on a mob? Other then having them in my group.

Us the Watch command set the class they are to 99 or 100% and pick the heal you want to spam with. and just toggle healing on off as needed with /echo (insernt command)

- ACK! DON"T TAKE THE REZ! How do I go about stopping the automatic accept punts and rez's and denying invites? This is convienant most times, but is sometimes not a good idea.

Dont know

Tried to use the /goto command today, and i cant get him to move.

Got a master appointed and buff commands by tells are working, but when i try to move my bot too a loc, he saves a goto file and says he starts running the path, but nothing happens.

tried following commands

/Tell botname goto -50.07, 102.09
/Tell botname goto -50.07 102.09
/Tell botname goto -50.07 102.09 3.75
/Tell botname goto -50.07y 102.09x 3.75z

If i try a /goto command after the first one, he say he cant do that because he is already running a path.

What am i doing wrong?

Since the June 27th release - my toons just go into an edless loop of buffing. This has worked great for weeks. As of the new release they just keep buffing ........

I believe it is on the group buff section - Will try and do some more debugging tonight.

I just wanna start out and say.. I'm a total n00b when it comes to macroing... but I just compiled MQ2 today and got this macro.. but when I try and load it I get an error "Failure to parse /if condition '(0>0)', non numeric encountered" then the macro closes.. I don't know anything about troubleshooting it myself else I would...

I'd like to say thanks for the awesome macro.

I have a problem that happens kind of randomly, If i have a mage following someone using the /echo follow MT, sometimes the mage will send pet in, and not nuke, and sometimes will nuke, but not send pet in. Its really bizare, and I was wondering if anyone else had this same problem.

Ok, I got the macro to work the other day.. now i'm having problems trying to get it to work correctly... I can't seem to figure out how to get it to cast buffs/debuffs like I want it to.. I'm wanting it to be able to mem my buffs and cast 'em as needed.. and also use my Time's Antithesis to slow the mobs.. but it doesn't seem to want to click the weapon for slow... I haven't tried the healing part of it yet.. been too busy tryin to get it to cast buffs/debuffs correctly heh.. Any help would be appreciated.. or if it'd be easier a working 65 shm ini lol.. thanx again for any help :)
