Request - CWTN Faction Pulling.

[n00bbot01]

Would it be possible to update pulling to check faction of a mob? Assigning a 0-7 value to each of faction that way I could do something like:
/${Me.Class.ShortName} targetfaction 5
and it would only target mobs greater than or equal to 5 (apprehensive)?

0 Ally
1 Warmly
2 Kindly
3 Amiable
4 Indifferent
5 Apprehensive
6 Dubious
7 Threatening


Thanks,

Afraid not.

It might not be what you're wanting but you could add targets to your ignore list.

Had the same idea, figured I'd just write a quick macro that would loop over: do I have a target, if so what is targets faction, if faction fits some condition then run a /${Me.Class.ShortName} Ignore . Unfortunately I'm not seeing anything for faction in the mq2 spawn class that I could use for this check which is probably why CWTN said no. Guess I'm back to manually building an ignore list for each zone before going mode 5.

I feel your pain. Best of luck!

faction is server side. this isn't possible and we're not going to get a target, target it, /consider it, parse that, then determine if we should pull it.

Targeting out of normal eq range is a bad idea, so this would be a whole extra thing that really doesn't offer much value, but offers plenty of room for things to go wrong.

I'd suggest taking some time to set up your pull settings, including ignores if you end up being somewhere that you need this sort of level of care.
