Question - epic click macro, does one easily exist?

[Ilovekronos]

I am very very new to mq2, but I guess I am looking for a plugin or macro that will auto use epic 2.0's across multiple melee characters for "burn" situations, by hitting one button, is there a video, plugin, or macro that explains how to do this that someone could point me in the direction of? Thanks!

if your using a "hotbutton" to hit a def or set of ability's could probably use
/useitem (Epic name here)

Example:
/useitem Blade of Vesagran

Sorry, what is a hotbutton

Just the standard Everquest hot buttons you can make. A lot of MQ2 uses the standard Everquest functionality.

If you want to broadcast it manually to your toons, you'd need EQBC or Dannet active. Those can relay info between each MQ2 toon and both are fairly easy to turn on. They're included in your Vanilla download.

Here is an EQBC example of a standard EQ hotkey you could make on your main toon and it would fire all toon "epics." It would use EQBC tells to each toon then fire the main toon's ring. You make it just a like a regular hotkey in Everquest, but it uses the MQ2/EQBC funtions via MQ2.

/bct Gandalf //useitem Staff of Amazing Stuff
/bct Gimli //useitem Axe of Head Touching
/bct Legolas //useitem Bow of Surfing Shields
/useitem The Ring

If you're using KissAssist, you can add the epic item names to the Burn section of your toons KA ini files. KA will automatically use them anytime they detect their combat target is a Named mob. You could also do it in the DPS section and use conditions, but that's a little more advanced. You can find examples in the Resources -> Ini Library.

Some other ways to do this automatically are mq2melee holy, a different macro system (IHC, modbot, auto-macs or core) or a pre-written class plugin (mq2berserker or such.) Each of these has basic help forums on the message boards or links to them.

Adding them to the DPS and Burn section of the Macro is definitely advanced, but once the coding is figured out very effective.
[CODE lang="ini" title="INI"]
DPS22=Adamant Triumphant Cloud Soulrender Breastplate|99|Cond12
Burn2=T'Vyl's Resolve|Cond7
Burn3=Rage of Rolfron
Burn4=Gift of the Quick Spear|99
Cond17=${Me.XTarget} > 3 &&
!${Me.AltAbilityReady[Explosion of Hatred]} &&
!${Me.AltAbilityReady[Explosion of Spite]} &&
${Me.AltAbilityReady[Stream of Hatred]}
Cond18=${Target.Named}
Cond19=!${Me.CombatAbilityReady[Cursed Guardian Discipline]} &&
${Me.CombatAbilityReady[Krellnakor Mantle]}
&& ${Target.Named}
Cond27=${Me.ItemReady[Bigger Belt of the River]}
[/CODE]
The [DPS} is the spells, abilities, and items that would be used in a fight that does not trigger the Burn. The item, spell, ability the "|" bar to split information passed to the program, 99 is the % mob health to use the item, and another "|" and any extra condition such as Once or a condition to meet first.
The [Burn] section pretty much the same but does not require the mob health %. You can add condition checks to any of these items as well.
The [KConditions] is the area you will find various conditions. Initially the fresh created when the Kissassist macro is run and no INI file existed has all these set as TRUE
[CODE lang="ini" title="INI"]Cond1=TRUE[/CODE]
Some are rather simple such as Condition 18, target is a Named mob or 27 a clicky item is ready.
Some can check multiple things using && (AND) || (OR) to split the checks. Cond17 checks for a mob count and abilities ready, Cond19 checks for Named and abilities ready.
Basic setting up of KissAssist Instructions & Settings Info can be found here. You can also get ideas from the INI files that are shared in the messages here.

Hot button=social , I believe it’s in a tab under the eq window where sit/stand is by default
