Checking for text

[Druid]

How do I check for text messages? Especially msgs coming from my own macro?

I'm running a macro to kill mobs and retarget.
When it runs out, I get:

"There are no spawns...." in the MQ window.

Can I check for that?

With events in your macro.

#Event whatever "#*#text here#*#"

Then make a Sub

Sub whatever
then put what you want to happen whether it be a delay or for it to stop or whatever.

Kewl... Thanks

I have not been able to get this to check for text in the MQ window...

i have:

#Event subname "#*#There are no spawns#*#"

.
.
.
sub subname
/beep
/return

Have also tried

#Event subname "#*There are no spawns*#"
#Event subname "#There are no spawns#"
#Event subname "There are no spawns"

None of them work.

help!

You have to do "sub event_subname".

You also have to add the line "/doevents" into your main loop, because that is the command for MQ to check which chat things have happened.

Try this way

"#*#[MQ2] There are no spawns#*#"

 

[Druid]

Have the '/doevents'
I tried changing the name of the sub as you suggested.
And I tried the change to #Event line, putting in [MQ2] and [MQ]

Still doesn't work.


What's the deal here?
Anbody checking for text in the MQ window???

2 ideas

First if it is something coming from your own macro you can just send info in /tell to get it to show up in regular chat windows.

/echo I need something
/tell Druid I need something

I have also found adding these at the beginning of my macros helps with picking up events that come from my macros, especially from other toon's running bot macros in same group.

#chat group
#chat tell
#chat chat
#chat say

Ohhhh.

#Event subname "#*There are no spawns*#"

should be:

#Event subname "#*#There are no spawns#*#"

It would be easier if we had the code so we can just add it in there

ok.. the goal is to stop the macro when i've run out of targets.
So far, the only way I've discovered is to look for "There are no spawns" in the MQ window, but I'm not married to that. That's the beginning of "There are no spawns in radius 150 ... blah blah"

I'll take ANY way that ends the macro, however

Macro currently reads:
but the event is never fired off

#turbo  

#Event NoMobs "#*#There are no spawns#*#" 
  
Sub Main  
:begin  
/call GMcheck
/twist  6 2 3 6 4 5
/bandolier activate drum
/delay 5
   
:loopstart 

/call GMcheck 
/doevents 
/if (${Target.ID}==FALSE) /tar NPC radius 150 
/delay 10  
/goto :loopstart  
/return  

  
 Sub GMcheck  
 /if (${Spawn[gm].ID}) {  
   /echo Gm detected  
   /beep 
   /beep 
   /beep 
   /delay 10 
 }  
 /return  
  
Sub NoMobs
	/beep
	/beep

/return

 

[Siddin]

you need to change Sub NoMobs to Sub Event_NoMobs

Thought I did that already. but... this time it worked.
Thanks.
