Problem - item equipped check before casting macro (1 Viewer)

[zathus]

i am trying to make a macro that will MQ2bandolier a cloak on, cast a spell, then bandolier back on a different cloak after casting. I had it set to do a /delay 8 to give the macro time to put the cloak on, cast and take it off. what i am trying to do is make a delay that waits until the cloak is on before casting. in case there is lag or something. here is what i have tried but its not working. anyone know what i need to change this to?

#warning
#turbo 140

Sub Main
/delay 5s ${Me.SpellReady[1]}
/equipset nofocus
/delay 5s ${Me.Inventory[8].Item.Equipped[Fishweave Cloak]}
/if (${Target.Type.Equal[NPC]} && ${Me.SpellReady[11]} && !${Target.MyBuff[${Me.Gem[11].Name}].ID}) /cast 11
/delay 5s ${Me.SpellReady[1]}
/equipset focus
/delay 8

depending on the cloak most can be cast from inventory from what i know some need to be attuned but then can be cast from inventory or clicked rather

opps nm i misread that ignore that comment

What you want is /while loop. https://www.redguides.com/wiki/Command:/while

That will check if the cloak is ready, if not /delay 1s then check again, when equipped is true, proceed to next line of macro.

There is also a /if command that may be of interest too.

and this may also come in handy: https://docs.macroquest.org/macros/operators/

I think ~ means "not" when comparing strings. ! means "not" when comparing numbers. in MQ Macro. (I am not a professional coder, just a hobbyist).

when equipped is true=what? thats the issue i am having. what is the marco expression to check if a item is in fact equipped.

I don't have the means to test this right now... but something like this looks like a good start:

/while (!${Me.Inventory[8].Name.Equal[Fishweave Cloak]}) {
/echo Waiting for cloak swap
/delay 1s
}

Looks promising! its the Name.Equal that might be just the ticket =) ill give it a go

Edit: Yup! that did it. tested with cloak in inventory and cloak in bank. when in bank, does not move to next line in code which is perfect! thank you so much! 2 days messing with this lol

Guide - Conditions and you. Coding tutorial information

So a lot of people I've noticed don't really understand conditions and how to compare something to something else. In order to understand conditions with comparisons we should first start with the basics of how MQ2 Interprets information. This is...

www.redguides.com

! means not in both cases. ~ is for Lua.
But if you're interested in knowing how macros are done you can check out the link to the conditions tutorial I did some time ago.
