Help on /keypress

[Druid]

A noob question if I ever saw one, but I've looked at the MQ2 manual for /keypress and /bind and whatall... and I can't get it straight.

I have a EQ Hotbutton tied to alt+Num_/ ("alt" plus the "/" on the number pad)

How do I tell MQ2 to hit that key under certain conditions?

 

[armysoldier]

/if (${X}>1) /keypress 1

keypress 1 ??

It's the alt + num_/ combination I'm having problems with.

I can handle the "conditions".... It's the other end of the "if" statement I cant figure out.... I just need help with the syntax of the alt num/ key specification in the /keypress statement

 

[armysoldier]

/alt activate #

What does the Alt+Num_/ hotkey do? Instead of doing a keypress, you could just do this...

/if (condition) {
 /target blah
 /delay 2
 /do hotkey command
 }

I hope that makes sense, if not, just say so and I'll say it again after I get some sleep.

/alt activate # is for AA abilities

/doability 1-6 is for action abilities (fishing forage etc)

/doability 7-12 is for combat abilities (attack, bash etc etc)

Key for the doabilities is it does the number which means you have to have that ability on that ability button

and of course

/keypress 1 - 0 is your hotbar


if those are not what your looking for pls be more specific

Sorry I'm not being clear. It's easy to know what I mean, ya know?

/keypress 1 - 0 is your hotbar

/keypress 1 thru /keypress 0 only works if your hotkey are tied to 1 thru 0, right?

Well I have a SECOND hotkey block set up... and active, on-screen at the same time.
I have mapped them to ALT combinations so I can keep them seperate.
One of these is the "/" key on the number pad -- called NUM_/ according to the MQ2 manual.

SO... I have a MQ2 macro that wants to "keypress" the ALT + NUM_/ key.
That would be the same as my fingers holding ALT and hitting the "/" key on the number pad.

How do I tell MacroQuest to "push" that combination of keys ?

 

[armysoldier]

/keypress ALT hold
/keypress NUM_/ hold

Army

lol your right if you had been that descriptive the first time... /snicker


hope those work

Druid, I've tried a few times to make /keypress work with Alt+Num_/ and it's not working. I've tried with just the / key and other variations, I think that's just one of those keys that isn't going to work. What does the hotkey do when you manually push it? We could tell you how to get around the /keypress if you'd just tell us that...

Thanks, plink.

I couldn't get it to work either.

I've GOT a work around. It activates an aa. But I was hoping to figure it out for other uses.

 

[armysoldier]

the proper command is

/keypress alt+Num_1

Yeah Army, the problem with that is that no matter what I tried I couldn't make the /keypress Alt+Num_/ work. It worked with other keys, just not the Num_/ one. Beats me as to why it wouldn't work.

[armysoldier]

Army, how long did it take you to get that? :P

plink

 

[armysoldier]

about 5 min

search keypress on macroquest

then there is a link to /bind

/bind eqlist tells you all the keys you have bound in eq

so i bound alt+Num_Slash to a key .. and thats what it tells me

then i did a /keypress etc etc in the game .. it worked like a charm .. all done

ARMY RULES!!
