Problem - newbie startup issue

[galen73]

hello. i just got started with vanilla. i have been following the guide videos and when i got to getting my other toon to cast on my tank it went south. im not seeing a error message. when i type /bct (toonname) //cast 2 nothing happens. i have made sure there is a spell in #2 spell gem and also put that same spell in hotbar #2 slot. no idea what is going on. please help and thank you

howdy Galen, welcome to Redguides. You said you checked out our guide videos so I'm going to assume you fired up eqbcs

Did you connect each toon to it? /bccmd connect

you can check everyone connected to your eqbc by doing a /bccmd names on one of your characters and it will say who is connected

 

[galen73]

did fire up eqbcs and just checked who is on it and both character names are listed. also, i can get the other toon to wave at me if that helps lol

ok so let's test to ensure that you can communicate between then

do a /bct bob //sit
bob being the other character

if bob sits - then likely you don't have mq2cast loaded

so you could /bcaa //plugin mq2cast

then give the original command a try

bob sat for me lol. i did get mq2cast loaded and tried again. still no spell casting.

ok go on bobs screen and just try /cast 2 --- does that do anything?

Ensure bob's target is correct etc =p

 

[galen73]

tried that and it worked after i noticed bob had no target so targeted my tank, switched back and tried the /bct command again and it worked.

Yes! we got it! Good Job dude!

 

[galen73]

thank you very much! have a feeling im going to love this program. one more quick question. how do i get bob to target me for a buff? or will i need to that by switching screens?

you can do /bct bob //target id ${Me.ID}

So issuing Me.ID from bill is getting his server id and then telling bob hey bob target this id number whatevermyidnumberis --- this number will change on zoning/rez/etc but that command will always work

Feel free to hit up Discord anytime - probably a better place for immediate help on stuff - a handful of us are *ALWAYS* around there and happy to help

 

[galen73]

is there a way to send the tells your group gets to your tank? watched a very vanilla video on youtube and it mentions one called gena. spell check on that but i cant find anything after several searches. thanks for any help

can try https://www.redguides.com/community/resources/mq2eqbc.120/ but not sure if it still works for relay tells to your eqbc

MQ2Events was my previous go to for tell relying, before MQ2Discord and then before I blatantly stopped caring about tells. That's neither here nor there. I think it was something like this but apparently I don't have an MQ2Events.ini any more =/ [Tell] trigger=#1# tells you, #2# command=/if (${EventArg1.NotEqual[${Me.Name}]} && !${EventArg2.Find[I am unable to wake]} && !${EventArg2.Find[I'm busy right now]} && !${Spawn[${EventArg1} npc].ID} && ${EventArg1.NotEqual[a guild banker]} && ${EventArg1.NotEqual[a guild treasurer]} && ${EventArg1.NotEqual[Personal Tribute Master]} && ${EventArg1.NotEqual[Guild Tribute Master]} && ${EventArg1.NotEqual[a guild treasurer]} && ${If[${Me.Pet.ID},${Spawn[${EventArg1}].ID}!=${Me.Pet.ID},TRUE]} && ${Spawn[${EventArg1}].CleanName.NotEqual[Thing]}) /multiline ; /docommand /dex all ${EventArg1} told ${Me.Name}: ${EventArg2}; /if (${Irc}) /i say ${EventArg1} told ${Me.Name}: ${EventArg2};/docommand /guildsay ${Me.Name} has a tell.
