[browning323]

Just curious if someone could give me a example of what my hotkeys should look like for mq2melee an cast ones I copied from wiki don't seem to work or I'm doing something wrong just trying to get the simple things set up first or just a good reference guide would be awesome thank you!

yup got melee/cast down somewhat now...how should i set my heal macros up cant seem to get him to target me keeps going for my mages pet

[conradd]

If you want others players of your group to target you :

Code: Select all

/multiline; /tar [YourNameHere]; /cast [HealingSpell]

If you send the command from you to someone else to target you, I prefer using :

Code: Select all

/multiline; /tar id ${Me.ID}; /cast [HealingSpell]

Awesome ty !

Cast handles targeting for you so you can also do:

Code: Select all

/casting "healSpell" -targetid|${Me.ID}

I got one more question Sorry to be a pest but some of these are confusing is it possible to set up a spell rotation rather then your caster spamming the same spell till it's dead? I was looking at something but it didn't work

[conradd]

Something like this ?

Code: Select all

/multiline ; /casting "[SpellName]" gem1 -maxtries|3 -targetid|${Target.ID}; /timed 30; /casting "[SpellName]" gem2 -maxtries|3 -targetid|${Target.ID}; /timed 30; "[SpellName]" gem3 -maxtries|3 -targetid|${Target.ID};...

Be carefull of with a couple of things :

• You really need to take care of the case of "SpellName", if your spell label is not exactly the same as in game, it won't work
• If you don't have one of the rotation spell in your spellbar, the macro will memorize it, and the rotation will be broken
• If you're lagging/freezing/desynchronizing/..., the rotation timer will be broken

You can also do a recast for a healing spell for example :

Code: Select all

/casting "Complete Heal" gem1 -recast|5

And if you need something a little more complex, you will have to write your own macro. You can find some example on the net and here in this sub forum.

Some links are also available in this post.

Conradd has good information, though EQBC might be useful because you can 1) control your other character's actions from a single character (tank, usually) and 2) you can create slightly more advanced functions. EQBC can be used to send commands to a specific character, all characters, or all characters except the one doing the sending. It uses /bct <CHARNAME>, /bca, and /bcaa to send //commands in coordination with the in-game macro system. You can use things like /multiline ; /bca //command; /bca //command with /timed (instead of /pause which just doesn't work with /mutliline)to squeeze as much as possible out of the character limitation.

This is actually how I got started with MQ2. Funny thing is, by the time I got done making all of these in-game EQBC macros that I could write a better-than basic MQ macro and scrapped the whole thing in lieu of the real deal. All a learning process.
