Hey everyone. In the macro below once Blood of Thule wears off it keeps trying to cast it on the mob. Not sure what could be wrong and thought I had looked at everything. Maybe a new set of eyes will help.

What happens:
1. Cast snare, funeral pyre, Blood of Thule
2. Start macroing the kite, pet gets sent, saryrn's kiss gets cast
3. Blood of thule wears off, and at next stop start to cast again
4. Every time I stop, blood gets cast.

Saryn's kiss works just fine.

Any help would be appriciated.

I notice that there isn't such a sub for Saryn, which you say works properly. They both have the exact same format of /if statements, so the only difference is that, the event. Try taking it out and see what happens.

Actually, Blood is cast before the macro start. So I set the variable at 1 when I start, then I need this event to see when it drops because I want to cast it again. Saryrn's almost never runs out before the mob is dead so I never bother to set it back to 0 so that I will cast it again.

They both have the exact same format of /if statements,

Which is what's really pissing me off that it doesn't work right. :)

Ok then I think there is a miscommunication here.

Which I take to mean you don't want it casting it again.

Now it sounds like you are having an issue with it casting non stop.
Perhaps after the Bloodof event you should /doevents flush? I'm not totally sure how that works, but from my understanding it should do exactly that, flush your event buffer clear of everything. Problem is that this could cause you to miss something, but what is the likelyhood of that?

/doevents flush

Wow, simple command makes things work much better.... Thanks aC1.

Have you tried it and found it to work then?

Posted: **Thu Sep 02, 2004 6:57 am**

You're matching your blood event after the string "blood of thule" which would not only be triggered by the text you see when it wears off but also from for example "You begin casting Blood of Thule" and "MobX has taken 100 damage from your Blood of Thule". Make the event "Your Blood of Thule spell has worn off." or whatever the message is instead.

Posted: **Thu Sep 02, 2004 7:56 am**

"#*#Blood of#*#worn off#*#"

Um, aC1, what's so terrible about doing the (much faster...not that it matters in a macro) exact string match?

Posted: **Thu Sep 02, 2004 8:39 am**

Because I don't have it in front of me? But yeah, exact would be better.

I think it would be "#*#Your Blood of Thule spell has worn off."

Posted: **Thu Sep 02, 2004 6:56 pm**

Yes. Flushing the events worked. I made the mistake of thinking that they would get dumped once I did a /doevents.

Doing it on exact match would be better, I agree, and now I'm wondering why it doesn't keep casting because it's not. Oh, I know why. I call the cast, then flush the events (in the macro I have on my puter), so I flush whatever event happens while I'm casting (i.e. You begin casting blood of thule. Otherwise I would be casting over and over. That's probably not the best option either as I could lose other events later on if this macro grows.

Thanks for all the good ideas.
