Question - hotkey to use an AA

[spudz90]

is there a hotkey i can make so i can have my cleric use the AA radiant cure from the toon i use.

i use KA and eqbc

 

[nookiecookie]

[CODE title="Hotkey"]/bct <Cleric_Name> //stopcast
/bct <Cleric_Name> //mqp on
/bct <Cleric_Name> //alt act 153
/bct <Cleric_Name> //mqp off[/CODE]

This should cause Cleric to stop casting, pause macro, cast radiant cure and then resume the macro.

When I first started using MQ2 I just 2 boxed Pally and Enc. I just setup all hotkeys on my pally to tell my enc what to do ie: slow, mez, haste, pet attack nuke etc. It was amazing being able to control 2 toons from one screen. I eventually graduated into running a full 6 toons and even though I use CWTN plugins for most of them I still have a few hotkeys I use that tell a toon to do a specific thing.

One hotkey I will suggest and it does not tell anyone to cast anything or do a specific AA is: bcaa //makemevisible. It should be self explanatory.
But along the lines of Nookies post...

/bct toon //target toon
/bct toon //cast 2 (2 being the spell slot)

You can do so much using the /bct command. Just think of what you want your other toon to do and you can usually use the /bct command to do it.

[CODE title="Hotkey"]/bct <Cleric_Name> //stopcast
/bct <Cleric_Name> //mqp on
/bct <Cleric_Name> //alt act 153
/bct <Cleric_Name> //mqp off[/CODE]

This should cause Cleric to stop casting, pause macro, cast radiant cure and then resume the macro.

Do you ever have that hot key misfire?
Like EQ lags and it activates out of order because without pauses it try’s to execute those commands all at once?

You can do this:

/multiline ; /bct <Cleric_Name> //stopcast ; /timed 10
/multiline ; /bct <Cleric_Name> //mqp on ; /timed 10
/multiline ; /bct <Cleric_Name> //alt act 153 ; /timed 10
/multiline ; /bct <Cleric_Name> //mqp off

1) Make a regular 5 line macro in EQ so it triggers the aa, or drag and drop to a spot on your hotbar, then bind a key (in options) to that particular hotbar position.

/timer 10
/alt act 153

Alternatively, you can make a custom bind within KA (see at bottom of KA instructions for making a new inc file):
[CODE lang="ini" title="KA Way"]|||
||| At botom of KA, remove the | so it includes your customized binds.
|||
#include kissmycmds.inc

|||
||| Put this in your kissmycmds.inc
|||
||| Target the player, and type /radiantcure (also works as a hotbutton command)
|||
#bind DoRadiantCure /radiantcure
Sub Bind_DoRadiantCure

/echo Herbs and essential oils on the way!
/call CastWhat "Radiant Cure" ${Target.ID} Bind_DoRadiantCure 0 0

/return[/CODE]

Making an eq macro
/pause 2, /bct name //mqp on
/pause 2, /bct name //target toon
/pause 2, /bct name //alt act 153
/bct name //mqp off

Seems easier.

Forgot stopcast and mine would be for a single target cure but you get the idea.

i have a similar hot key setup for mgb celestial regen, spirt of wood, i use the hot keys from driver toon. I dont know if its possible but would like to add check on what type of spell its stoping "i.e. not really wanting to stop heals" but nukes and debuffs no biggie or possibly just wait till cast finishes to activate.

You can do this:

/multiline ; /bct <Cleric_Name> //stopcast ; /timed 10
/multiline ; /bct <Cleric_Name> //mqp on ; /timed 10
/multiline ; /bct <Cleric_Name> //alt act 153 ; /timed 10
/multiline ; /bct <Cleric_Name> //mqp off

I realize this particular post is a week or so old. But wanted to touch on it for a moment.

/timed doesn't work the way it's shown here. timed is a command used to delay a specific command, but while the timer is going other code continues to process.

In the below example I'll setup a timed command to wait 2 seconds and then /say hi, then I'll /say hi again.
/multiline ; /timed 20 /say hi; /say hi again

In the example, the /say hi again will fire before the /say hi.

Additionally, in the hotkey example from nookie, the timed command is at the end, and it has no command listed to delay.

/timed is used as follows.

/command TimeInTenthsOfASecond /CommandToFireOnceTimerExpires

So nookie's example has a /timed and a time to wait, but it doesn't say what to do once the timer has expired.

/multiline ; /bct <Cleric_Name> //stopcast
/timed 10 /multiline ; /bct <Cleric_Name> //mqp on
/timed 20 /multiline ; /bct <Cleric_Name> //alt act 153 
/timed 30 /multiline ; /bct <Cleric_Name> //mqp off

and finally, the timers require that you add more time to subsequent timers.

/multiline ; /timed 5 /echo 1; /timed 30 /echo 2; /echo 3; /timed 10 /echo 4

The example line above does the /echo from 1 to 4, but will not fire in that order.

[MQ2] 3
[MQ2] 1
[MQ2] 4
[MQ2] 2

The above is the expected output based on that multiline.

What @nookiecookie wrote at the first post should work well. I use similar hotkey.
I inserted the Clerics cures in the chapter [cures] of his INI. That worked always well since.
Result: no need to take care of cures by myself.
