assist/attack macro?

[trendydru]

I'm looking for an assist and attack macro to use with my dps characters. I am trying to play a monk as puller and get my other dps to attack using MQ2melee. as it is now I need to swap to each screen to target and turn on auto attack.

Is there a button macro I can make in game that will say something in group to trigger them to attack my current target using MQ2melee and MQ2cast?

Thanks.

I use mq2melee , MQ2 channels and in game hotkeys pretty simple but it works.


Line1=/bct melee //assist (character name usually my warrior)
Line2=/pause 5
Line3=/bct melee //attack

This has the toons in my melee channel (bard, rogue, zerker and monk) target my warriors target and off they go into position doing what they do. I manually shut off mq2melee on my warrior and take full control of him, and I still have to tab to manually activate discs and clickies as I do like to retain some control as to what they are doing.

To get your toons into MQ2 channels from each toon in the MQ2 window type /channel channelname channelname....ect.. no commas just spaces.

I have something similar with my wizards it grabs the same target but then actually runs a cast macro to goes through spells / clickies in a certain order.

This my assist/attack button (Tiarra is my main tank) :

Code: Select all

/multiline ; /bca //stand ; /bca //stick off ; /bca //target ID ${Target.ID} ; /bct Tiarra //killthis
/pause 10
/multiline ; /bct fandril //killthis ; /bct shoalin //killthis ; /bct korale //killthis ; /bct tiarra //stick 7 moveback

thank you for the help. it is working now.


I am trying to run a wizard as well and when I try to use that macro with him it uses MQ2melee not MQ2cast. Is there a way to change it? I know it had something to do with the MQ2cast.ini file but I can't seem to find it.

Macros wouldn't use mq2melee, for the most part. Mq2melee only gets triggered when in combat, which could either use mq2melee or macros but generally not both. What are you trying to specifically do with the wizards? It would help to narrow down where the problem lies.

[trendydru]

Make him assist and nuke basically. Same way my melee assists and attacks using a hotkey on the character I'm running.

And wizard version :

Code: Select all

/multiline ; /bca //stand ; /bca //stick off ; /bca //target ID ${Target.ID} ; /bct Tiarra //killthis
/pause 10
/multiline ; /bct margona //casting "Ether Flame|1" -kill


Margona will cast "Ether Flame" on the target until it dies

If you want to cast multiple spells here is the code I use for my Wizard Morana. In this one she clicks her donor legs and then casts 3 instant damage nukes. I tried to put the /pause on multilines but always get an error. The pause is in there to allow the spell bar to refresh. I use 3 hotkeys that basically look just like this for instant cast, item clicks, and big damage longer cast time spells. I prefer to use item and spell ID numbers but you can also use spell or item names. There is probably a better way but this way works for me.

Code: Select all

/multiline ; /bct Morana //target ID ${Target.ID}; /bct Morana //casting 18859; /bct Morana //casting 9283
/pause 15
/bct Morana //casting 9279
/pause 15
/bct Morana //casting 9283

If you want to use 1 command for multple classes can ise you can use mq2twist

/bct caster //twist 1 2 3 4

Use that after the target in you macro. You may have to edit you mq2twist ini for each char if you spells are longer then 4 or 5 seconds

*and the numbers are the spell gem numbers.

I manually shut off mq2melee on my warrior and take full control of him,

I think I need to do this, as my current setup makes my tank literally a statue for the fight, where I cannot maneuver him, which is necessary to maneuver the mob.

How do you manually shut off mq2melee on your tank? I know I can drop the plugin, but since I run everything from one folder, wouldn't that affect them all?

Thanks for your suggestions!
