Question - Cheal Rot Help

[drush88]

Ok , I'm very new to all of this, bear with me.

I am on Ragefire currently so we still use Cheal rotations for raids.

I would like to have my cleric /keypress (his cheal key) when /gu 222 - GO << MyCleric >> GO - 222 is called. We have been using guild chat due to server lag. I have been doing a lot of research and get lost pretty easy. It looks like I should be using Mq2Events for this but I am either setting my trigger incorrectly or setting the command incorrectly.

If you have some examples that would be great. An example for just one cleric in a rotation with 5 or 6 other clerics. If it were all my clerics I could see using a timer, but I think more of a trigger would help.

I never messed with code before using mq2 and I would love to get a better grip on it. I see I could be doing much more with less in EQ.

Thanks!

This is me every time I think I have it figured out..

If you're looking to do it manually, I can give a few pointers.

First would be to Create a Macro in game (Not MQ2, actual Macro from the EQ Menu) and have it set up to the following:

/gu <<CLERICNAME>> Casing ***COMPLETE HEAL*** on >> %t <<
/cast 1
/cast 1
/cast 1
/pause 8 (or whatever your pause timer is)
/gu >> NEXTCLERIC << YOU'RE UP!

Taking that information, I would make a couple of tweaks. First, I would have all Clerics /join GuildCHChain (Replace Guild with the guild name or abbreviation). Then replace the '/gu' above with that Channel Number. This would make sure to keep all chatter out of guild chat and easier to see. Also with that, I would open up a separate chat box specifically for this channel, so it is all by itself.

You can also set up an Audio Trigger in-game that makes a sound every time a certain string of text is said, like your name. So, every time you hear some sort of gong sound, you hit your macro.

Finally, just as an explanation, the multiple /cast 1 above are in case you fizzle. You can also replace the '1' with whichever spell gem your CH is in.

Hope that helps. And would love to discuss further if you need.

I have a hot key macro set up very similar to this. The audio trigger is a good idea.

My main issue is I tank most of the time. I will bring my cleric if we are low on heals, but I have a panic attack trying to keep up with healer spam and tanking haha. I was looking for something to press my macro for me.

Even if its getting rid of the in game macro all together and setting up a mq2event type trigger. I just cant figure out the mq2events i guess.

Remind me, is Ragefire the server with the TrueBox code? I'm back in EQ, but haven't been on the TLP servers.

Nope, Phinigel has truebox, and so will the new server on May 24th, Agnarr.

Ragefire is full of box armies.

 

[drush88]

No, Phinny is the only truebox at the moment I am pretty sure.

Ok. Then using that MQ2 macro from the other thread should be no issue if you don't want to use a normal in-game macro. I was thinking this was the non-MQ server.

I don't see how to alter that Mac to work with our messages. So I would have to get everyone to change their keys.

Is there a simple Mac for when I see a certain text to /keypress 1 .

Our rot has 2 lines of text, when we start to cast and another for when the next cleric should cast.

Am I confusing anyone as much as I already am?

It looks like the mq2event plugin would be perfect but I can't get it to work.

Honestly, you just need a macro that runs on the cleric that scans the text box for a certain text, then executes a button, and runs on a loop. My coding is extremely rusty right now, but if no one can write that up for you soon, I will take a crack at it. It should only be 10-15 lines of code max. I'll check back in when I get home from work later and then see what I can do.

 

[drush88]

yep giving up on it for the night.
still no luck

Change # to your /keypress number for your button and MyCleric to your cleric name. Place this in MQ2Events.ini file and reload the plugin.

[chchain]
trigger=#*#222 - GO << MyCleric >> GO - 222#*#
command=/keypress #

 

[Sym]

The part in [] is just a name. It can be whatever.
Trigger is the matching portion. If you don't want to have to match the entire line exactly use #*# as a wildcard
Command is what is executed. You can use multiline here if needed. Another example from fighting OMM years ago

[ommmask]
trigger=#*#You feel a gaze of deadly power focusing on you#*#
command=/multiline ; /i say -- Clicking Mask!! ; /delay 9s !${Me.Casting.ID} ; /casting "Mirrored Mask" item

Thanks so much
