Question - Macro to Keypress for summoning items

[plexx88]

Hey all,

So I'm trying to find a pretty basic way to repeatedly keypress a specific key. I'm used to the old Autofire 0.4 program (I know....waaaaaay back machine). I've looked at a few different options, but honestly, they seem far more sophisticated than my needs.

I need to summon about 40k axes on my zerker, I've got a hotkey setup to cast the disc and auto inventory the items, I really just need something to emulate the keypress. Any thoughts or suggestions on a basic way to do this?

Or if anyone has a link to the old Autofire app, my google-fu is failing and hitting nothing but dead end links

you have mq2 why are you using keypress when a macro or Lua can do it ?

The honest answer:
I already had a hotkey setup to do it, I just needed to repeatedly press the key while I sat in the Guild Hall.

/doability 1
/pause 6
/autoinv

I actually ended up creating a Synapse Macro, but will take a crack at a writing a Lua script for it.

The answer can be easy, but to make a automatic tool, you have to choose a software method.
So for example, do you use KissAssit and want help entering the ini, or choose a Lua method and would you want a LEM. OR do you use CWTN Zerker plugin, that would solve your issue as that software auto summons. There is so many ways to do your request. If some of this concept is overwhelming, just say how you play and what specific ability (axe) you are trying to do. Someone may be able to help more directly with straight information.

I am not familiar with a zerker as I have never played the class but am looking for a reason to further my knowledge of Lua scripting. If you want to share some specifics with me, I could probably automate this for you.

ChatGPT can be useful for macros/Lua scripts not so much plugins.

Change axe of rallos to the axe you're trying to summon etc.

#turbo 120

Sub Main
    /declare MaxAxes      int    outer 40000
    /declare AxeName      string outer "Summoned: Axe of Rallos"
    /declare CurrentCount int    outer 0

    /echo [AxeSummoner] Starting... Will summon until ${MaxAxes} ${AxeName}.

:SummonLoop
    /varset CurrentCount ${FindItemCount[=${AxeName}]}

    /if (${CurrentCount} >= ${MaxAxes}) {
        /echo [AxeSummoner] Done! You have ${CurrentCount} ${AxeName}.
        /endmacro
    }

    /if (!${Me.CombatAbilityReady["Summon Axe of Rallos"]}) {
        /delay 5s ${Me.CombatAbilityReady["Summon Axe of Rallos"]}
    }

    /echo [AxeSummoner] Summoning... (${CurrentCount}/${MaxAxes})
    /disc "Summon Axe of Rallos"
    /delay 1s ${Cursor.ID}

    /if (${Cursor.ID}) /autoinventory

    /goto :SummonLoop
/return

Do you use Kissassist? From the sound of it, maybe not - however if you do your berzerker's .ini file is the easiest way to accomplish this task:

In your config folder in the MQ2 install directory you'll find the .ini files for your characters, for example, kissassist_zerkername.ini

Under the buffs section find the name of your axe of choice and do something like this:

Buffs1=Axe of the Brute|Summon|Axe of the Brute|100

Change the value (100) to whatever you want.

I dont use KA, but I do use MA, so I will add this in! Thank you! This will keep me from having to monitor is Axe's and summon 40k of them at a time lol.

I did find a copy of the old Autofire V0.4 - I know some folks have proposed alternate solutions and I am still going to look into those, but Autofire really is just a super easy way to do this.
