Howto to Standby the macro when zone to prevent crash.

[moguay]

To add a standby in macro, you can probably add a /delay 5s in an macro event :

Code: Select all

#Event Zonein                   "You have entered#*#"

Use doevents in your code

Code: Select all

/doevents

Code: Select all

Sub Event_Zonein
    /echo Macro in standby for 5s
    /delay 5s
/return


And if that's not enough, create also an function to check if the ID and INSTANCE as changed
in the beginning of the main loop :

Code: Select all

/call ZoningCheck

Code: Select all

Sub ZoningCheck
    /if (!${Defined[ZoneID]})       /declare ZoneID int outer       ${Zone.ID}
    /if (!${Defined[InstanceID]})   /declare InstanceID int outer   ${NetBots[${Me.CleanName}].Instance}

    /if (${Zone.ID}!=${ZoneID} || ${NetBots[${Me.CleanName}].Instance}!=${InstanceID}) {
        /echo Macro in standby for 5s
        /delay 5s
    }
/return

////------------------------------////
More hard do a standby without timer brake, and extract of my code : (sure is a brut code need to declare var and make some adjust)

Code: Select all

#Event Zonein                   "You have entered#*#"

At the begin of the main loop

Code: Select all

    |** ZONING LOOP - PREVENT ZONING DESYNC **|
                                                                                /call ZoningCheck
                                                                                /doevents Zonein
    /if (${MacroStartTimer} || ${RefreshTime}==${MacroQuest.Running})           /goto :loop
    |---------------------------------------------------------------------------^^^^^

Code: Select all

Sub ZoningCheck

    /if (${Zone.ID} && ${NetBots[${Me.CleanName}].Zone}) {
        /if (${Zone.ID}!=${ZoneID} || ${NetBots[${Me.CleanName}].Instance}!=${InstanceID}) {
            /varset MacroStartTimer 5s

            /call Reset            |---> some reset function, turn off
            /call ZoneStat       |---> my zoning stat function
        }
    } else {
            /varset MacroStartTimer 5s
            /call Reset            |---> some reset function, turn off
    }

    /varset ZoneID ${Zone.ID}
    /varset InstanceID ${NetBots[${Me.CleanName}].Instance}

    /if (${MacroStartTimer}) {
        /varset ZoningDone 1
    } else /if (!${MacroStartTimer} && ${ZoningDone}) {
        /varset ZoningDone 0
        /varset ZoningOfftankFilter 1

        /docommand /${echo} -Zoning ${Cg}done${Cx} - Macro ${Cg}ON${Cx}
        /call ZoneDesyncCheck      |---> my Desync Zoning check function
    }

/return

Code: Select all

Sub Event_Zonein

    /varset ZoneID ${Zone.ID}
    /varset InstanceID ${NetBots[${Me.CleanName}].Instance}
    /varset MacroStartTimer 5s

    /call Reset            |---> some reset function, turn off

/return

Thank you moguay ! this made it easy to modify my code should cut down on my crashes by alot.
