Question - Need a bit of help (1 Viewer)

[Nobody99]

Okay, I'm in search of a probably stupid question here.
I'm trying to setup my shaman for the spirit fades mission. I play on my SK, and I need my shaman to run to grakaw, do his buff or heal or cure and come back.
So my first simple attempt is this:
Page8Button7Line1=/dex shaman /shm pause on
Page8Button7Line2=/dex shaman /tar Grakaw
Page8Button7Line3=/dex shaman /nav target
Page8Button7Line4=/dex shaman /useitem fabled blackflame sphere
Page8Button7Line5=/dex shaman /shm pause off
It's probably immediately obvious to most of you what the problem is, the shaman starts casting on the way to the target.
How would I wait until the nav is over to begin casting?

check various macros, i forget which ones have, /If ${Navigation.Active}, don't cast,

Actually, maybe you can look into shards.mac or alaran.mac. looking for the nav.active

where are you fighting at - i cast right from my camp and never move the shammy
im right about in the middle area he is in and have no problem casting

Make it into a LEM instead to make use of:

 if not mq.TLO.Me.Moving() and mq.TLO.Spawn('Grakaw').Distance() < 20 then

I stand right on top of him and never move.
I know this doesnt answer your question - but it does make this fight pretty trivial

Good idea, I was thinking about this a bit last night at work also. I've got some other lems to copy from.
I assume the trigger could be something as simple as just sending the shaman a tell.

Edit to answer the above. I fight at zonein to avoid the ae's.

I don't know anything about the encounter as I refuse to purchase NoS. However, couldn't the trigger be based off a buff/debuff on the target? Is it an event? Condition?

this really needs to be a Lua script.

or you have to have some /timed in there

otherwise, this eq hotbutton just all gets executed at the exact same time

also for multi-worded items, use quotes /useitem "fabled blackflame sphere" otherwise if there was a "fabled awesome blueflame sphere" in your inventory it would use that first as without the quotes it would just be matching the first word, in this case "fabled"

 

[Nobody99]

I got this working in a fairly inelegant way. I wound up using /timed, and made the item change Sic posted above. It'll work until I get all the thick skin cheevs out of the way, then I'll just fight on top of it.
Thanks for the help.
