Question - illusion clicky question...

[janktron]

Probably an easy solution, but I'm still trying to figure this out.....How can I make my characters auto click their DE mask when illusion drops? I've tried putting it in the buffs using item name/spell name...tried it with "dual" in the middle but I still don't really understand how that works (or what it does for that matter) and I've read all I can find...but thats another issue =P. If anyone can help me out here I'd be very appreciative!

The dual tag is used when the spell name doesn't match the buff name (like with the shaman Unity buffs...4 buffs one spell, and none of the buffs match the spell name) so you put spellname|dual|buffname, and it wount cant that spell(buff) if that particular buff is up.
the DE mask is a clicky item it should function as othe clicky items did, but if not you coug go itemname|duel|illusionname

Not sure about this item as I have never used it. does the illusion icon appear in regular (longtem) buff window, or song(shortterm) buff window? If it is shorttrm(song) window that could complicate things....may need to use a downshit to make it work then
something like this.....

downshitx=/if (!${Me.Song[ILLUSIONNAME].ID} && ${Cast.Ready[ITEMNAME]}) /casting "ITEMNAME"|Item

mind you may want to put other conditions in as well to better suit your needs......

ahhh, i guess that's why the "dual" didn't make sense to me....I've returned to play on the TLP servers and when I stopped playing live (06 i think) I don't think and spells existed that had multiple buffs in 1 spell? either way. the illusion is a buff in the long term window...i think it lasts like 30 mins or so, but it poofs on zoning, and I just wanna automate it so my toons reapply everytime they zone or just whenever it fades...

I couldn't find any info on how to put clicky items in KA, so I was just going by how the spells were put in. Either way, I tried putting "Guise of the Deceiver|duel|Illusion: Dark Elf" on 1 of the buff lines and it didnt work.

in KA it should just go in the Buffs section, however that has a recheck timer and may not "notice" you lost the buff during the zoning....
in KA it should look like

Buffs1=ITEMNAME

or if that don't work

Buffs1=ITEMNAME|dual|BUFFNAME

or use a downshit like

downshitx=/if (!${Me.Buff[ILLUSIONNAME].ID} && ${Cast.Ready[ITEMNAME]}) /casting "ITEMNAME"|Item

My ranger immiediately recasts wolf form everytime I zone, So I was hoping the DE illusion would be the same. However neither syntax is working under the buffs section of KA. The holyshits/downshits are super confusing to me at the moment, so I was really hoping this would work. I need to read up more on them to figure out how to use em. Thanks for the help Meistro.

well 1st lets try this, put the item name in the buff area of your KA ini. Then ingame start KA and type

/kisscheck
/end

then scroll back up to the buffs section and see if it has any errors. You MIGHT be spelling the name wrong. it can be REALLY easy to do if it has ' or a ` in the name ( and sometimes, depending on your fronts, a r n can look like a m).
if it says you do not have such and such item spell or AA then its probably spelled wrong and you will need to try and adjust the spelling to get it right.

If that still don't work:

To use HOLYS/DOWNS:
1st) ingame with MQ2 running, in your MQ2 chat window type

/melee save

then go into your MQ2 folder(not the macros folder... your macros folder is in your MQ2 folder) and find your servername_toonname.ini and open it.
In THIS ini you would copy/paste the downshit or holyshit under the [Melee] section (THIS IS NOT YOUR KA INI FILE). Mind you also need to add a flag line. so for you it on the formetioned downshit it would look like this

downflag1=1
downshit1=/if (!${Me.Buff[ILLUSIONNAME].ID} && ${Cast.Ready[ITEMNAME]}) /casting "ITEMNAME"|Item

then go back to char in game and type replace ILLUSIONNAME with the actual name of the illusion as it appears in the buff icon, and ITEMNAME with the actual name of the item.

/melee load

and your downshit should start working.
now to turn it off. you can type in your MQ2 chat window

/melee downflag1=0
/melee save

and to turn it back on

/melee downflag1=1
/melee save

or go back to your ini file and turn the
downflag=1 to downflag=0
save file, then ingame type

/melee load

mind you with this running when you enter a zone or when the buff drops and you are out of melee combat it WILL cast (even if you don't want it to) with or without KA running

My ranger has it in the buffs with a dual tag and casts it when I zone if Kiss is running. Just use the Dual tag.

comes back with "no spelling errors or Missing items detected"
but still no dice. The downshit works great tho, So I'll just run with that. Thanks again for the help!

No clue why mine won't work....the downshit is doing the job tho, so I'm all good now
