Code: Select all

/bct Stickybuds //casting "Nature's Prayer Rk. II" gem1 -maxtries|3 -targetid|${Spawn[PC =Mary].ID}

This will tell my druid attempt to cast the heal spell in spell gem number 1, three times (in case of fizzles) on the PC Mary, the PC part is important otherwise if there is a corpse of that name within target range they will target that instead, and then you will have another corpse =)

Thanks

Can one switch a ring in inventory for another ring?

How do I use - MQ2Bandolier, written by Wassup, is an extension of the EQ Bandolier which allows you to swap items in any of your inventory slots.

That's a rather excessive macro to be running and I can see a few places it could potentially go wrong, but if it works for you I wouldn't change it. As to bandolier, you need mq2 exchange running as well, neither of which are in the official release of mq2 from mqemulator, afaik.

How to use them, You first need to set up an .ini file but using the command

Code: Select all

/createset <setname> <slotID/slotname>
Example: /createset Baneweapons mainhand

Repeat in a single command as much as needed. That's just to set the .ini file so exchange can do the switching.

As for mq2Exchange, it's a simple command from a very simple plugin.

Code: Select all

/exchange <itemname/itemID> <slotname/slotID>
Example: /exchange "Blade of War" mainhand

As to how these work together, I assume you can just use the set you created with bandolier. Something like

Code: Select all

/exchange baneweapons

I don't use bandolier or even looked at the current source for it, so using it is just an assumption.

You may wonder why Blade of War is in quotes. When MQ2 is told to use things like items, spells, or disciplines, it needs to know the full name of whatever it's doing, otherwise it'll get it wrong. That's where the quotes come in. By putting a multiple word statment in quotes, you tell MQ2 that it's all one thing and to treat it as such. Sort of like search engines.

Help this wall of text was what you needed.

Can one do this?

/bst name //keypress [Shift] + 3

??

[moonrazor]

I suppose you could. Make sure whatever you want to keypress is actually turned on or it'll crash your client possibly.

[Dellanx]

that did not work - is there a way to do it. I want to change pages on hotbar. Thanks

[moonrazor]

Well you can always rebind the key for switching pages. Or you may try /keypress "shift+3" or something.

"/keypress shift+4" will move the hotbar bank to page 4. You could also just display multiple hotbar banks on your UI and setup your keystrokes to affect each bank. For example bank one is /keypress 1-0, bank 2 is /keypress alt+1-alt+0, bank 3 is /keypress ctrl+1-ctrl+0, etc. You can set the keystrokes for those buttons in the Keys tab, under the Hotbar categories.

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?

And just one comment on the macro discussion from before, a buff routine macro is a huge help. Clicking one button that calls up a macro to have your cleric/druid/enchanter/shaman/whatever go through all their buffs, as well as having your boxes use all their clickies is way more convenient than trying to cram all that stuff into a bunch of different hotbuttons.

That worked ty --- Awesome!!
