Referencing items without tiers

[Alulien]

Hey all,

Still catching up on the last... 7 years...? of content since I last played. Looks fun! Trying to figure out how to update macros for the new tier system to cast item buffs and two are proving problematic:

Iced Necklace (http://www.thehiddenforest.org/webtools ... hp?id=6278)
Art of the Murkglider (http://www.thehiddenforest.org/webtools ... ?id=120078)

Trying either /casting 'Iced Necklace' item or /casting 6278 prove unsuccessful. I feel like it's obvious but I'm rusty with the MQ. Halp?

Edit: So looks like it's actually related to the item in question being in my bags.

Looks like I just needed to add some logic to pick up the item in the bag, move to ammo slot, cast, move back to bag. Good for the Necklace since it's insta, but I need to build a short delay in for the Murkglider. I wonder what the root cause of needing to make this change is...

If anybody needs help with similar feel free to DM or message on Discord

I dont know about the necklace, but according to the webtools you dont need to equip. With Murkglider you definitely dont, i cast mine from my bags.

I would suggest using the /useitem command.

If you use that it'll list the different slots in inventory, so you can cast using that. It also lists bags and then you add extra with 0-9 depending on the bag slot number.

Ie.. (the numbers are random as im not in game to use /useitem) -

Let's say Neck slot is item slot 20 -
/useitem 20

Let's say Bag slot 8 is itemslot 65, and the necklace is the 5th item -
/useitem 65 4


This'll make things MUCH easier, i remember how much i loved deleting my hotkeys to equip something to cast it

I'm not sure I follow... I can't cast either item from my bag. It's got to be a "main" inventory slot or equipped. I appreciate the feedback, definitely, but unfortunately I get a DoCommand parse error trying to pass /useitem. I'm gonna get this bugger figured out!

[mrhorrn]

I can't work out how to get a DoCommand parse error. I have no idea if /useitem is part of MQ2 but a quick google seems to show it's patched into the game so i'm thinking it's a base thing. Logging in without MQ loaded and it still works.

Maybe it's a client thing? You said you're returning after 7 years, which client are you on? Same one you used before?
I know they were going to make it so earlier clients couldn't connect, but i dont know if they have yet. I know UF had to be as you describe - main inventory or equipped. It was UF i also had to have a nasty complicated command to swap an item out, click it, and put it back, but RoF2 isnt either of those and works from bags.

I can do /useitem 0 to cast an equipped charm
or /useitem 30 5 which uses item in bag 8 item 6 (first item is 0)

Both of these commands work with /bc commands for other chars.

I would attach some screenshots but i get an error when i try.

*edit* apparently it did work

[Alulien]

This makes perfect sense, actually. I've been referencing the same item slot IDs, so hey at least there's that! I came to the same conclusion that using UF isn't the way to go, so I'm working out the RoF2 client... right now I can't log anything in, I just get the bar filled after char select and the window disappears without error. I'm full o' problems!
