so came back to LJ and its in PoP now...and I find myself longing for zone lines.....clicking on the pok books, or stones or gears or anything to zone in is becoming a major PITA, lol...not to mention /stick goes apeshit if i click thru with the guy everyone is following...

is there a better way to do this that i'm unaware of? or am i stuck alt-tabbing thru and individually clicking everything? :(
 
I actually find it easier as long as you can remember the object names. If you do:

/nav ui
click navigation tab
expand door handler debug

you should see a list of door objects

then do /bcga //doortarget [doorname]
then /bcga //nav door click

sometimes you may need to do /bcga //click left door

hope that helps
 
Woah there everyone is making this issue way more complicated than it needs to be.

When you use /afol it automatically clicks doors that you run through as well as objects. It's super fucking annoying in some places but super nice in others.

/stick sucks when it comes to moving your team around I could never recommend someone use that -- use /afol it has its own flaws too but overall it's better than /stick when it comes to moving a whole box team from place to place.


With /afol on when you wanna zone through a PoK stone/PoK book run your tank OVER the object and your whole box team will click it 99.9% of the time. Then you only gotta zone the tank.
 
Use mq2nav. First some examples, then some logic.

In pok, this will take you to Feerrott stone, zone in.

Rich (BB code):
/nav door id 4 click

There are a few ways to go about getting your id. The first, least useful way but still worth noting, is simply typing /door. This will dump all the door objects in your current zone. Sometimes you can pick out the POK stone from this list, though usually the dump is quite large.

Another way is to use the Nav UI (if it's not open, do /nav ui). Click the tools tab. Expand the Objects chevron, click view doors button which opens another window. There are three ways to proceed from here. First, method is to click Type to group all the doors by their type. Almost always, you're looking for the number 58. Then you can discern which one of these contains POK. If you're standing next to the portal, you can click the click button (you can also nav to the door, which will not port you when you use the nav button). If you're in PoK with lots of stones, sometimes it is difficult to discern which portal goes to which zone. In this case, physically go to that portal, stand next to it, click Distance to sort by distance. The closest type 58 to you will be the ID you want to use. At that point, you can do:

Rich (BB code):
/bcaa //nav door id 12 click

This will run everyone to whatever door 12 is (again, check the list and use the one that you need) and click it.

Additionally, when you're in the Tools tab of the MQ2Nav Tools windows, if you tick the Draw Bounding Boxes and All doors visible boxes, you can get a visiable boundry of the door, with your currently targeted door being outlined in green.

After frequent use, you'll have several commonly used IDs memorised making navigation all the faster.

tucker's answer is very very similar to this, which I just read after typing all this out, but mine is different enough for me to submit.
omg this is amazing....now i need to open up more hotbars to have a social for all the differnt pop zones, lol
 
If we use MQ2 nav too - it's worthwhile to make the following hot keys....


1 that is good for catching up to your main tank (cause /afol on has a weird issue when boxing more than 18).

/pause 5, /nav reload
/pause 5, /target <Tank>
/nav target

Another macro (which is my fav) - FOr quickly getting to parcel NPC in PoK

/pause 5, /nav reload
/pause 5, /target frans
/nav target

And you can repeat that for a parcel vendor in your Origin city too. When I port chars into PoK or Origin them i don't run to the parcel NPCs anymore I just hit my macros then go take a piss
 
thanks Lurk I didn't know that about afol. I use stick and then have a hotkey for
/bcga //doortarget
/bcga //click left door
