There's one thing that I haven't been able to figure out how to do, since I don't usually play pet classes: how can I tell my cleric to heal my mage's pet? Is there some sort of "XPlayer'sPet" target id?

I don;t play any pet classes but I think you can use this command to target the player's pet

Code: Select all

/bct Clericman  //target ${Group.Member[Mageman].Pet}

That should tell the cleric "Clericman" to target the pet of the mage "Mageman" no matter what his pet is named. To heal you can just follow up with a 2nd line that says

Code: Select all

/bct Clericman  //casting "BigHeal"

Btw i think this requires the NetBots plugin but that should come with even the most basic MQ2 complie, and you should have send and grab "on" on all toons already as per the setup guide for MQ2.

Code: Select all

/bct Clericman  //target ${Group.Member[Mageman].Pet}

This returns:

No such 'int' member 'Pet'
[(msg)Cleric] //target NULL

[moonrazor]

I only know of one command for this.

Code: Select all

${Me.Pet.ID}
Example: /bct cleric //casting "spellnamehere" gem(numberhere) -targetid ${Me.Pet.ID}

If you are not playing on the pet class, I'll need to do some thinking on the subject, I know you can do it but it's a pita iirc.

I'll post back if you need something different.

ok i think i came up with something for if you are not playing on the pet class =)

there is a mq2 command called "/noparse" which instead of processing the command it sends the literal text that follows to that client, so they will then issue that command from that client instead of the one you actually issued it from. Very handy for this case with the ${Me} function.

so, using Clericman and Mageman again. This command can be issues from any other toon, say your tank, or even the cleric himself. the command should go as follows (tested and working)

Code: Select all

/noparse /bct Mageman //bct Clericman //casting "Faithful Light Rk. I" gem1 -targetid|${Me.Pet.ID}

Hah good catch, that would be it.

Works! Thanks Sticky!

What does /noparse do?

[moonrazor]

What does /noparse do?

It was explained above, It tells mq2 not to parse the line from that character, instead to parse it from it's destination point.

Code: Select all

An example would be: /noparse /bct toonb //bct toonc //dosomething

This allows Toon A to send a command for toon B to type in, to have Toon C do. Usually, if you aren't dealing with pets or specific abilities/clicks, you wouldn't use no parse. Just handy to have around.

[Dellanx]

So if one just orders buffs from tune A so that tune B casts them, then no pont in using /noparse ?
