def wrong. should not have the extra .txt on the end.
I copied/past the script in a Aten Ha Ra.Lua file in the Lua folder in Next, but when I type /Lua run Aten Ha Ra on my bard i got a message saying it doesn't find such a file in the very folder where the file is. I hope this is clear enough. Any idea ?
Try starting it from eqbutton, macroquest, Lua
If you cant find it there, you have it in the wrong place or you didnt fix it to a .Lua file
I can't find it there. My file is a .Lua and is in Next>Lua. I don't understand. Maybe i should log off, restart something, i don't know...
I should add that I don't have the .txt anymore. It's genuine Lua file (Lua source file).
The message I get is : "could not find script at path D:\Progam..\Next\Lua\Aten.Lua".

if your file isn't called "aten.Lua" then it isn't going to run it.
rename it to aten.Lua (and not aten.Lua.Lua)
try D:\Program..\Next\Release\Lua\Aten
Apparently the problem was with the spaces in the name. My file was named"Aten Ha Ra", I renamed it "Aten" and it worked. Thanks all.
Well, when I say it worked I mean the script loaded, but I didn't get the achievement, don't know why.

I stole the script from @wmh and adjusted it for a bard on KA. This is what's working for me (again adjust your twist command to be the spell gem your mez is on).
[CODE lang="Lua" title="aten.Lua"]local mq = require("mq")
while mq.TLO.Task('Aten Ha Ra')()
do
if mq.TLO.SpawnCount("a smirking guardian npc zradius 75")() > 0 then
mq.cmd("/mqp on")
mq.cmd("/twist 8")
while mq.TLO.SpawnCount("a smirking guardian npc zradius 75")() > 0 do
mq.cmd("/tar a smirking guardian npc zradius 75")
end
mq.cmd("/mqp off")
mq.cmd("/chaseon")
end
mq.delay(10)
end[/CODE]
[CODE lang="Lua" title="aten.Lua"]local mq = require("mq")
while mq.TLO.Task('Aten Ha Ra')()
do
if mq.TLO.SpawnCount("a smirking guardian npc zradius 75")() > 0 then
mq.cmd("/mqp on")
mq.cmd("/twist 8")
while mq.TLO.SpawnCount("a smirking guardian npc zradius 75")() > 0 do
mq.cmd("/tar a smirking guardian npc zradius 75")
end
mq.cmd("/mqp off")
mq.cmd("/chaseon")
end
mq.delay(10)
end[/CODE]
I tried this script, but like with the old one I mezzed one gargoyle only, no achievement.

I've done the purple crap today, got two gargoyles mezzed before my bard died, so there is progress
Back to back runs flawlessly. I have my bard set with /chaseon and if I see him taking any damage at all I use "come to me". Having the gargoyle part complete, I paid a bit more attention to the purple and was able to complete that last night.
If your dps is high enough you can get it done before first lot of Golems spawn (or at least only have to deal with one pop of them).
I tend to Burn from the 3rd Pli onwards
I tried using the Lua from wmh for the Calm the Stones achievement, but it didn't work for me (only ever got 1 or 2). I used this hotkey instead and it worked perfectly the first time:
Cmd1=/bct BARDNAME //mqp on
Cmd2=/timed 5 /bct BARDNAME //tar ${NearestSpawn[a smirking guardian zradius 50]}
Cmd3=/timed 10 /bct BARDNAME //twist 8
Cmd4=/timed 50 /bct BARDNAME //mqp off
Label=Mez
Gem 8 is single target mez. Just spam that every 5-10 seconds after the gargoyles become active.

Just returned to the game couple days ago and thanks to Sic for his interesting walkthrough videos!
Btw, I posted a Lua script in Lua` Lua Section of the forum which can help your bard to do the Calm the Stones achievements.
I've done that mutilple times for my army so far , basically just wait bard to finish his job then finish Aten.

You have to be very careful about where your characters are running, especially when responding to the silence emotes. It's also a bit precarious when the oozes spawn and you're trying to keep them apart and have golems coming through at the same time because the oozes can blind you and you won't the see the golems roflstomp you. If you can dps burn the oozes so that they're not alive long enough for golems to come through, that can help a bit.

First of all a hearty thank you for this.....
Why do you want to echo "bad"? What does this signify?

I'm not OP, but my guess is just to let him know it ran, or something they forgot to take out when they were testing it. or both!

Where are you supposed to stand and fight to be the appropriate distance away from where this has them run to? Also does this one take care of removing zerk frenzy?
It will run the character with Aura to the small room where you zone in. If you fight near aten or in the middle of the room it will move the characters out of range.
The below is updated to also stop disc if its active.
I have some issues still with the stomping giants. Anyone care to share how to avoid the large purple auras?

When the gargoyles spawn, they start to walk across the floor to the other side of the room, but they dont walk exactly the same space between them ( if that makes sense). watch for a moment and you normally start to see that they are not all walking in a straight line, a gap will start to form between two. Using your tank, drag aten to between the 2 with the gap forming, turn aten so your tank has his back to them walking towards you, turning your group to be facing the walking gargoyles, you should then be able to pull aten back dodging the purple rings. Kind of hard to describe.

Thank you!
Ran this today for the first time and noticed my group ( and MA driver SK ) would lock target on the gargoyle and engage. Trying to switch target even on MA wouldn't work. Thoughts?

Is there a way to do a MQ2 React file for Bard?
"Aten Ha Ra Shouts. 'Awaken, Guardian!'
Bard pause, Bard target guardian, bard mez, bard restarts KA macro?
"Aten Ha Ra Shouts. 'Awaken, Guardian!'

you would want to use a react or LEM for that, there are a few examples of how to achieve that in this thread, but you don't even need to wait for the emote, you can just see if they're spawned like the Lua examples in this thread have. check on page 2

how would i change the location in this event , to a more none stressful location , the door the golems spawn with the purple aura where this runs and sometimes instant smash's my little wee ole cleric , id like to change it to where the lamps behind aten ra are ? i though i did by just swaping out the location numbers but it didnt work
I would use the nav waypoint system
open up the nav ui with a
/nav ui, go to the location you want to create a wp for and hit the /loc button, type in the waypoint name you want to use, then hit save.
in the
/nav locxyz # # # spot, change that to /nav wp runaway (or whatever you named it)you can test to see if it works by doing a
/nav wp runaway manually outside of the event
Aten Ha Ra - AIO
if using DANNET do /dggae /lua run aten.lua or whatever you name it.. be sure to exit lua later. I can spruce it up later.
Accounts for feign death and will do either bard (untested) or enchanter (tested) and also do the run away
assumes bard has range enhanced items. zradius of 100
Unsure if everyone is supposed to run away from Fluctuating Gravity or just that guy, it will currently run that person away and pause
if this ain't right just rem out
Code:
mq.event('gravity', "#*#on the floor around " .. mq.TLO.Me.Name() .. "#*#",
Event_RunAway)Runs you away for silence, you have to run back and turn on KA, unsure if there is an emote or a way to tell when the green stuff goes away or a set delay...
I turned it off because my beast would run away and then run back and start attacking after 6 seconds or whatever..
