I'm writing something for the sacrificial banner part of the Icebound Avatar raid, and I want a specific group of toons (by name) to click the banner. Is it possible to code a list into a variable?

Variable List

local sac_lamb = ['Toon1, Toon2, Toon3, Toon4']

And then I could call the sac_lamb(0), sac_lamb(1), etc?

 

[nitramneb]

Put them in a table?
something like
sac_lamb

local sac_lamb = {
'Toon1', 'toon2', 'Toon3', 'Toon4',
}

What if i wanted something simple. Like my cleric in a cheal chain.

When the prior person says the key phrase for example:

[5] <Character Name> Cast now! [5]

My character would press his #4 button on his hotbar (ie if i was playing him i would just hit 4 on the keyboard)

Making several assumptions here:
1) Everyone else in the CH chain is being driven by someone else
2) You don't want a timer configured - you just want to cast in reaction to them telling you to cast
3) You're NOT running some type of automation that needs to be paused
4) You already have the correct tank targeted

Note: This is 100% untested and there's way better things with more checks you could do, but super simple:

You'd create a new lem event with the trigger #*# Cast now!#*#

local mq=require('mq')

local function event_handler(line)
    if string.find(line, mq.TLO.Me.CleanName()) then
        mq.cmd('/stopcast')
        mq.delay(300)
        mq.cmd('/cast complete heal')
    end
end

return {eventfunc=event_handler}

 

[Buddakai]

Couple questions. I am new to the coding as above. Is there a "How to for dummies" for creating the lem event?

I also see it is casting the complete heal. Which gets the job basically done. However i wanted it to fire the macro that is on button 4. Which is the following: *edited it to remove names of fellow clerics

If we cant have it press the button for the macro i am okay with having the lem event fire off the necessary commands to mimic the macro

Double check, but I think you could mq.cmd('/keypress button 4').

Alternatively, just move everything into the event.

local mq=require('mq')

local function event_handler(line)
    if string.find(line, mq.TLO.Me.CleanName()) then
        mq.cmd('/stopcast')
        mq.delay(300)
        mq.cmd('/cast complete heal')
        mq.cmd('/rsay Casting Complete heal on %s', mq.TLO.Target.CleanName())
        mq.delay(4000)
        mq.cmd('/rs Your turn cleric dude.')
    end
end

return {eventfunc=event_handler}

Can LEM read the MQ window?

 

[nitramneb]

Lem can react to pretty much any condition that MQ can see, so... kinda? What particularly are you wanting it to react to?
It most likely is just figuring out what TLO to check, and logic to make desired outcome happen. Don't believe it actually reads the text in the window, but since the text is generally reporting on some TLO or another....

 

[Whodis]

Can LEM read the MQ window?

It probably depends what you are talking about.

For example, if you were to have a hotbutton that said something like "/dgza Triggerword", you could then use "Triggerword" as a pattern in an Event LEM and your toons would react to it.

What are you trying to do? There's probably a way.

 

[microscope]

Thanks I solved it another way. The AIs helped me make some lems.

 

[microscope]

I use it a lot but I know it's old. Is there anything that replaced it?

 

[reedreddington]

Ya. It's still good.

 

[Redfrog]

still great

 

[Sic]

Yep. Things that work, work
