• Hail, we're RedGuides. We want you to play six (yes, 6!) EverQuest characters at once. We have scripts and a friendly community to help, please join our playstyle and say hello! 👋
  • We've added LLM sections to our Terms & Rules and Resource Rules, for everyone's sanity & in-game safety.
    Read more
    a. Do not replace your voice with an LLM. This goes for your posts and your scripts. Drafting and editing with a tool is fine, but don't take you out of what you share.
    b. Do not replace your EQ character's voice with an LLM. We don't want scripts that speak over /ooc, /shout or other public channels. This has been an unwritten rule that's kept casino scripts off the site for decades, but we're now compelled to make it clear: keep automated communication private.

    Why Does RG Review Scripts?
    Nearly every LLM-written Lua script we see is making your character do impossible things, and rarely in a way that's beneficial to you. We've seen heavy server hammering, /target over impossible distances when /nav spawn would passively accomplish the same thing, a spawn search that fires 20+ times per second, and other pointless actions that are likely annoying GMs.

    You are welcome to use LLMs as a tool to structure, draft, and edit your work, but please read critically before hitting /lua run

How to useitem hotkey with Alt and prevent Object Preview

Just got into trying out MQ as a solo player to get a feel for it, but running into an issue with the Alt key behavior.
Without MQ running I can make an in game macro, place it on say, Alt+W and it will correctly click the item.
/useitem "Item Name"
Click to expand...

With MQ running if I press Alt+W it just brings up the Object Preview for the item instead, just like it would if I placed an item shortcut there.
Any guidance here on why the behavior is different/ how to modify it would be greatly appreciated

The object preview is showing the item in the /useitem quotes.
/useitem "Verdant Hedgerow Leaf"
Without MQ running, clicking the macro button on the bar or using a hotkey with Alt+ both correctly summon and dismiss the mount as expected. If I drag the item shortcut instead of the /useitem macro to an Alt+ hotkey it display the Object Preview.

With MQ running, clicking the button still works as expected, but the Alt+ hotkey opens the Object Preview of the mount instead just like it was clicking the actual item.

If I move the social button to a non Alt+ hotkey it works as expected
Click to expand...
weird - it doesn't happen by nature of just /useitem "blah item of blah" so i suspect it is because of your pressing alt when you do...

i am unsure you are doing this correct, are you on emu? or live server?

because calling a social with a hotkey should not activate the preview window with mq or not.

because how is it to know which item to preview?

you can do something like /nomodkey /useitem "Verdant Hedgerow Leaf" and that should skip
