Combat Assist Simple Farm Mob Macro

Renamed to Killbot.mac since it's not only great for farming materials you can use it to level newbies etc.

It's a work in progress, It has TONS of comments to help others learn.

Thanks in advance for any Redcents!


killbot.mac
Rich (BB code):
| killbot.mac by Rogue601  v1.4 - work in progress
|
| This macro is meant as a tutorial for myself and possibly others.
| I tried to keep it clean and OVER comment so others know what and why
|
| The point of this macro is to pick a list of mobs you want to farm.
| It's meant to be simple and not have ignorelists or files.
|
| Please don't afk with this and get in trouble.
|
| This requires that you are running MQ2Nav and have a valid mesh.
|
| used with Autoloot this is a very effecting macro for farming tradeskill materials
| I started this to farm bear skins. I've spent more time on it then I did on bearskins. LOL
| enjoy!

Updates:
1.4 - Added code to stop nav if you pickup agro and switch to that target
1.3 - Added multi mob parameter handling. type "/mac killbot 10000 lion bear wolf" if will find the closest one and start killing
1.2 - Xtarget is now step 1 in the loop. Works pretty well and cleaned up comments.
1.1 - pulled everything out of the main and put them in subs. added a mainloop and commented the @#$@#$ out of it.



IF you don't know how to make a mesh it's easy.
Just fireup MeshGenerator and setup the folders.
Then load the zone, generate a mesh and save.
use "/plugin mq2nav"
use "/nav reload" if you change it while in the zone.


I'm sure there are better ones I just wanted to learn and it does what I want for now.
