melee macro

[lunatic47]

can anyone suggest a simple melee macro, sometimes i box and whenever i try run a macro i copy and paste i get an error message. also by simple i mean just turn attack on and stick to the target, combat skills would be nice but not necessary. thanks for any info

 

[hoosierbilly]

I am currently working on a simple macro that will do almost exactly what you describe, should be ready later today (Ihope). The name is CombatSkills.mac, I'll upload after bit more testing.

 

[lunatic47]

alright ill look for it later, thanks

 

[hoosierbilly]

There is a version on that doesn'y quiet do everything i want, I just lost my new one by overwriting the file...doh. It'll be while for me top recreate it, sigh.

Try my macro here: http://www.redguides.com/community/showthread.php?t=16588

Just remove the lines that involve bards (/twist and /bardswap, etc) and you've got a great melee macro that does what you want.

edit: Found an issue with the combat range, adjusted the macro and uploaded newe file.

Here is a macro I'm working on I plan to add more features later, mostly for monk classes, I think this will work nicely for you.

I attached the file at the bottom, you should be able to just download it to your macro's folder.

|
|
|Purpose: To automatically use basic combat skills: Taunt, Kick, Bash & Disarm
|	Will attack the mob when it is within close range, use basic conbat skills,
|
|	Warriors will use the provoke discipline one time when engaging mob.
|
|	The macro will warn you and end if health falls below 20%
|
|	It will also follow the mob when it tries to run away due to low health
|
|
|Useage: Pull target to camp and activate macro when ready to attack.
|
|
|Recommendation: Create a social with the command < /mac combatskills.mac >
|	Make the social a hotbutton to use when ready to attack.
|
|Note: The combat abilities must be selected on your abilities "ctrl A" or combat "ctrl C" page for this to work.

Nobody likes the plugins that do this for you?

NOPE, I have ongoing and reoccuring problems with both plugins making my melee toon simple sit down and turns off attack, have to completely shutdown my computer and restart everything to get it to work for while, but it only works for couple hours and i have to shutdown again.

Really, I downloaded the macro to my wives computer without any issue. Click on the link and choose save the file, I've never tried to upload a file before so who knows.

You should be able to copy all the code into notepad and save it as a .mac file, I have to change notepad default so that it will use the correct file extension.

This is my first macro so I'm not sure how much help I can provide but it should do just about exactly what you asked for.

 

[Siddin]

I use mq2melee, the macro just makes sure that mq2melee does what I want it to do. Sometimes without the macro mq2melee will drop the target if the tank can't see it, gets pushed around too much, etc. Basically its just a safeguard in my case. I'd rather have too much redundancy than have it fail at an inoportune moment.
