Release MercRez 1.21

[MrInfernal]

MrInfernal submitted a new resource:

MercRez - Disband a member, call out merc, suspend merc, re-invite member

MercRez is for when you have a full group and your rezzer dies. Now, you can automatically:

• Disband a group member
• Unsuspend a merc
• Have the merc rez and buff as needed
• Re-suspend the merc
• Re-invite the disbanded group member

This was requested in my Lua request thread and I had some ideas of how to...

Current bug with how Mercenary.Status is evaluating. Will monitor this and see if the fix affects any functionality for MercRez

 

[Kimia]

just a question, would it be possible to add another step before unsuspending the merc?
When you're in an instance with a full group the merc won't unsuspend because that would exceed the zone limit of 6 PC. If you could add the step to respawn the dead PC to bind and waiting 30-60 secs before attempting to spawn the merc, that would be awesome (maybe as an option so you can turn it on if you do a lot of instance like when using /grind). If not, we just have to be mindful of doing that before we give the mercrez command.

MrInfernal updated MercRez with a new update entry:

Disbanded member release / New run command

The disbanded member will release to bind point prior to the merc unsuspend. This should help with instances that only allow 6 characters.

Can now be used while loading the Lua!
Usage: /lua run mercrez <MemberToDisband> <MemberToUseMerc> <Optional: Seconds to unsuspend merc for> .

Otherwise, the program will remain open until ended with /mercrez stop/close/exit

[Kimia]

Thank you very much. I will try it out tomorrow

MrInfernal updated MercRez with a new update entry:

New commands 'target' and 'me' added

To cut down on possible typos and to keep from having to type out full names, you can now target the character to disband and use 'target'. Also, if you are the one with the merc, you can just use 'me'.

So, if you have the merc, target the member to disband and type: /lua run mercrez target me

MrInfernal updated MercRez with a new update entry:

Fix for dead members not releasing to bind point

Fixed the condition check to ensure that the group member will release to bind point in case the zone can only support 6 players

Had an interesting situation happen. While the Lua was active my puller got a wild hair and started pulling while the merc was active. So when the timer expired it tried to suspend and invite but combat...Once the fight was over I suspened the merc and did the reinvite manually. Do you think if I went with a shorter active time on the merc I could avoid this?

 

[MrInfernal]

A shorter time should avoid that. The default is 120 seconds, but perhaps 90 would work better.
