Question - Mez. Memblur & XTarget

[SeaOfHoles]

To start ... I am playing the Paladin and writing simple macros for Druid, Mage and Enchanter. Basically ..

1. tell Enchanter to mez xtar #
2. tell Enchanter to tash xtar #
3. tell Enchanter to slow xtar #
4. tell Druid to snare xtar #
5. tell Mage to send pet @ xtar #
6. buffing
7. tell casters to nuke xtar #

I run into a situation that I haven't figured out yet. It only seems to happen when I pull 3+. Assuming Paladin is on xtar # 1, the Paladin tells Enchanter to mez xtar 2. The trouble is what Paladin tells Enchanter to mez xtar # 3.
I have debug statements, so I can see what the Enchanter is targeting (by name) and it looks correct, but my ${Target.Mezzed.Duration.TotalSeconds} has a + value .... when I don't see how it could
The same thing happens with my Druid snare macro.

I believe I have the proper targeting where ${Param0} is the XTarget #
/delay 30s ${Target.ID}==${Me.XTarget[${Param0}].ID}

I thought maybe the Enchanter/Druid XTarget list was different then the Paladins
I thought maybe it had to do with memblur (but that would not affect Druid, right?)

I thought about perhaps NOT having the Paladin tell Enchanter/Druid what XTAR # to target, but get the Target.ID and pass that in the macro, so it wouldn't matter if XTarget lists were different or memblur took a target off Enchanter list.

If you have your macro setup right, this ${Me.XTarget[${Param0}].ID} should just be giving the ID number of the mob in the xtar. If you echo it and change it to ${Me.XTarget[2].ID} it will give the ID of the mob in xtar 2.

A simple hot to test it

/bct Chanter //target ${Me.XTarget[2].ID}
/delay 1s
/bct Chanter //casting "MEZ"

Would need to see the macro to see whats really going on

So my Paladin has quite a few hotkeys. There is a Mez 2 one for example ... This hotkey would have the following
/bct Enchanter //mac mez_target 2

Maybe I should be doing this. Can I do this in an EQ hotkey??
/bct Enchanter //mac mez_target ${Me.XTarget[2].ID}

My current mez_target MQ2 macro looks like the following. It accepts an XTarget Position .. ie 1,2,3,4,5

[CODE lang="ini" title="Mez Macro"]#turbo
Sub Main

/echo Dazzle: [${Param0}] ${Me.XTarget[${Param0}].Name}

/target clear
/target id ${Me.XTarget[${Param0}].ID}
/delay 30s ${Target.ID}==${Me.XTarget[${Param0}].ID}

/if (${Target.Mezzed.ID}) {
/echo [${Param0}] ${Target} is currently ${Target.Mezzed.Name} - ${Target.Mezzed.Duration.TotalSeconds}s Remaining

/if (${Target.Mezzed.Duration.TotalSeconds}<20) {
/delay 30s ${Cast.Ready[Dazzle]}
/g [${Param0}] ${Target} - ${Target.Mezzed.Duration.TotalSeconds} Remaining
/g Dazzle: [${Param0}] ${Target}
/casting "Dazzle" -maxtries|3

/delay 30s !${Me.Casting.ID}
/if (${Target.Mezzed.ID}) {
/g [${Param0}] ${Target} is ${Target.Mezzed.Name} - ${Target.Mezzed.Duration.TotalSeconds}s Remaining
} else {
/g [${Param0}] ${Target} is NOT Dazzled
}
} else {
/g [${Param0}] ${Target} - ${Target.Mezzed.Duration.TotalSeconds} Remaining
}
} else {
/echo [${Param0}] ${Target} is NOT Mezzed
/delay 30s ${Cast.Ready[Dazzle]}
/g Dazzle: [${Param0}] ${Target}
/casting "Dazzle" -maxtries|3

/delay 30s !${Me.Casting.ID}
/if (${Target.Mezzed.ID}) {
/g [${Param0}] ${Target} is ${Target.Mezzed.Name} - ${Target.Mezzed.Duration.TotalSeconds}s Remaining
} else {
/g [${Param0}] ${Target} is NOT Dazzled
}
}

/if (${Target.Mezzed.ID}) {
/if (${Target.Mezzed.Duration.TotalSeconds}>12) {
/if (!${Me.Sitting}) /sit on
}
}

/return[/CODE]

Your best bet is to send the ID not the xtar position since the xtar can be different on each character.

try /bct Enchanter //mac mez_target ${Me.XTarget[2].ID} with this added to your macro

/target clear

/target ${Param0}

/delay 30s ${Target.ID}==${Param0}

the way you have it is going off of your chanters xtarget position not your paladins. I would stick wih using the target ID so you dont have problems with differing positions.

 

[SeaOfHoles]

Yeah. I think that makes a lot of sense
