Question - Cresent Reach Lifts

[Sevenmoons]

Does anyone have a macro that navigates the lifts in Crescent Reach?
I am writing my first macro and trying to navigate from the first floor back to the Hollows.
I can move to the lift controller and activate the control, but my toon refuses to move onto the platform

Any help would be appreciated.

I am using:
/nav door id 11 click
to move and activate the switch and
/nav loc -1309.44 -1541.75 13.86
to try move onto the platform

Well a few issues.

Based on the location it looks like you're trying to navigate onto the lift when you're already up and want to go down. You cannot. Because there is no mesh there.

Now presumably you have MQ2MoveUtils - So you can use /moveto which doesn't require a mesh and doesn't care if the elevator is there or not.
I would use nav to get to the edge or line of sight of the elevator (like -1306 -1559 10 and then issue a /moveto to get onto the lift (or fall in the hole)
Speaking of which you'll probably want to know if the elevator is up or down. I don't know the answer to that question, just saying it's something you may want to know.

Thanks ChatWithThisName
Will give that a try

Trade construction next uses the elevator. Not sure how - but maybe ask the developer of that.

Will I now have most my macro working. it just errors on the last sub
Travels up the lift OK, but them I get the message

But if I manually run the sub, it works as expected.

Here is my code, as this is my first mac, happy for any critique, as I am sure it is brutal and non-elegant:

you probably need to use /moveto to get off the lift and onto the part of the floor that has the mesh.

Tried moving to various spots, taking note of the loc and then moving to and from that spot fine, I am on the mesh, it seams using the lift upsets it
I have tried jumping on the spot, to see if that would kick start it and even reloaded the mesh with no joy.
Manually running the /nav from that spot works, just not as a follow on in the macro

are you sure you went up the lift? I just copied it and tried it. both on the down and up, the lift was not in the right position so just ran onto the underpart and then ran off but still on the base floor, then tried to nav to Regan but had no path because I wasn't on the same floor.

but then when manually typing the commands in, the elevator was down, so I ended up on the correct floor and everything worked.

just an fyi on the down function the first thing you did was nav over and click the lift

/nav door id 11 click

so then you drop on top of it and ride it back up and click again.

 

[Trapper]

also you can detect if the lift is up or down, would probably be the best way to not have issues with it.

here's a quick snippet for each.

/if (${Switch.Z} == -89.50) /echo lift is down.
/if (${Switch.Z} == 10.50) /echo lift is up.

I ran into this very problem with the lifts in CR. This is code for the 1st floor lift to work.

Sub Main
/echo Checking Crescent Reach Lift   


/call Lift

/delay 2s
/cheer

Sub Lift
    /doortarget ID 1
    /echo ${Switch.Z}
        /if (${Switch.Z} == -89.5) {
            /echo Lift is Down...moving onto lift
            /nav door ID 1 click
            /echo Going UP!
    }
    /while (${Switch.Z} != -89.5) {
        /echo Lift is UP
        /delay 4s
        /echo Waiting for Lift to come DOWN
    }
    /nav door ID 1 click
        /while (${Switch.Z} < 10.5) {
            /delay 1s
        }
    /moveto loc -1307 -1492 13
    /delay 1s
/return
