Question - CWTN and Macro Integration

[fleqfan]

Hi guys,

Using the plugins and absolutely loving them!

I have a macro setup using them and it is working great. I had a question that might improve the efficiency of it.

Right now I invoke the macro in have my group run to certain waypoints, setup camp, pull for a certain amount of time then move to another camp. I am very careful where I am doing this by the way.

Anyhow, right now in my macro it has this:


/noparse /bcga //docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName} mode 0
/delay 4s
/bcga //nav wp camp12
/delay 20s
/shd resetcamp
/delay 4s
/shd PullRadius 1000
/delay 4s
/shd mode 5
/delay 4s
/noparse /bcg //docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName} mode 1
/delay 1800s

What I would prefer to do is make it delay moving while there are valid targets within the pull radius instead of using a fixed delay. In other words, replace the /delay with a flow control command keeping the macro from advancing to the next step while valid targets are in the pull radius. (i.e. once the SK gets this message "Character is resting while waiting for valid targets or aggro" then have it move on to the next step in my macro.)

Is there any way to have this variable/event called from the plugin in the macro or a better way to do this?

btw in the snippet you posted you're turning eveyrone to mode 0, then trying to issue a shd resetcamp - but you're in mode 0 so there's no camp to reset when you do that. going mode 0 removes your camp, so upon setting mode 5 you are creating the camp where you are standing.

you'd need/want to use a ${SpawnCount[npc radius 1000]} or some such. (obviously this isn't the check that we use and woud return that you have spawncount if there are mobs in that radius even if the cwtn are not pulling them for any of the reasons they wouldn't pull a mob)

We don't currently have a TLO when there are no mobs

I'll probably add something like ${CWTN.MobsToPull} which would be a simple bool True/False

Sweet, thanks!

Yeah I am new to writing macros and lots of trial and error.

Really appreciate the hard work on these plugins!

I am probably doing something syntax wrong, I am getting "no such CWTN member MobsToPull" error

I typed /if (${CWTN.MobsToPull}) /echo false

Correct - do you remember when before i said
"We don't currently have a TLO when there are no mobs"
and then later said
"I'll probably add something like..."

Ah reading comprehension 101.

My brain skipped that part ~

Hey Sic, any update if this is still on your radar? Would be nice if still doable.

Thanks!
