Problem - Rg mercs lua getting me killed

[Damon]

I tried using the rgmercs Lua for the first time and it was doing all kinds of strange things that i didn't tell it to do.

The cleric didn't heal at all. The enchanter started pulling random nearby mobs and all the melee types would just vibrate in place. (i think they auto turned on hard camp set to zero because the second i tried to move them manually to attack the mob, they ran back to their spot and started spazing out)

I started the test on a teal mob that my chanter could solo but my whole group wiped because i couldn't get it to do anything. I hit the big pause button but they still kept doing random stuff seemingly deliberately trying to commit suicide.

I went back to drag the corpses and the second I clicked drag corpse it rooted me in place and wouldn't move and a roamer killed me as i sat there vibrating, i tried again to drag and it rooted me in place again until i hard closed the program. then i went back to the guild lobby to summon and res and several of my characters chain cast spells they already had up that expend peridots they just kept chain casting them using 8 peridots a minute even when i clicked the big pause button.

Sounds like you have conflicting automation, I wouldnt say its "RGmerc-Lua" being bad, just 2 automations fighting? I dont use it, but many have been, and this is the first total failure ive heard of recently. make sure your patched, what classes, what level, live, tlp or test?

This sounds a lot like conflicting scripts running

Haha. @durango773

I used rgmercs Lua yesterday hunting for 2 hours and no error/death.
My group is sk/shm/bard/rogue/mag/necro.

I've leveled a 6 man group from 1 to now 115 with RGMercs and I have not seen this issue at all. Do you have any logs or anything you can share?

Did you set the Enchanter to pull? What pull settings did you use?

The drag button littlerally just targets corpses and type /corpse and does not control your movement.

I think something else is going on here.

before i logged on i did a complete update of everything
I was only running easy. Lua and button master which turn on at startup then i turned on rgmerc Lua on all characters and let them buff up.
I had a chanter (puller, main assist) with pet, a cleric, bard, rogue, druid, and a smaller chanter that I am trying to lvl up.
I am on live server

The thing that's weird is they cleric didn't heal anyone my druid tried to heal but got agro off my chanter pet with a rage swords and taunt turned on, so he died first then everyone else immediately followed. i ported my druid back to drag the corpses and the second i clicked /corpsedrag it wouldn't let me move and the macro quest console kept saying WARP DETECTED, so as i was trying to figure out how to move a roamer killed my druid. ported back and clicked the pause button in the rgmercs Lua and tried to drag again and it did the same thing till i clicked the "X" to close the Lua completely. then it let me run with a corpse. i dragged to a safe spot and started rezing then my chanter that was designated puller by role but not in the Lua started pulling mobs nearby even though i didn't turn on any pulling buttons in the Lua. so i rezed in the guild lobby and gave up on playing today. That's when I noticed that even though I had the Lua paused it was still chain casting buffs that use peridots at a rate of 8 per minute so i turned off macroquest completely. It's a good thing that i noticed it was casting too because i was going to sit in the lobby afk and get buffs and that probably would have burned through my stack of 1000 peridots that I keep on me.

i didn't use any pull settings in the Lua I just set my chanter to pull via the roles within the game and hadn't touched the pull section at all and this was literally the first attempt to use the rgmercs Lua and I picked a mob that was 10 levels below me in CoV as a test and it still wiped me.

I think the main issue was I assumed turning on the Lua on my cleric would auto heal but it sat there and watched everyone die, it didn't even cast any buffs but it said it was running. I think i'll try again later and leave the cleric out of the group and use my merc cleric cause I can kill names in LS zones with just my chanter pet and my merc.

All easy was set to do is summon tea and cookies, forage, alert me if a gm enters the zone and close any pop up windows on my non gold accounts. i had zero class boxes clicked or anything that auto casts. i mainly use it for the info window that lets me know if my party drops invis.

I'm wondering if the Lua tries to use settings from the rgmercs from the macro version? cause I used to use that with this party and it worked ok apart from the bard just sitting there not doing anything, but now it was the cleric not doing anything which is more fatal than a lazy bard.

Try unloading Easy.Lua and see how it works. I didnt say it was being used for combat, but its such a encompassing tool, it will over ride other tools functions. That is something you can talk with Derple or CBD's about.

I just scrolled back to where i was trying to pull and this is what macroquest was saying when it was holding me in place.

Target cleared.

i'll give it a shot. i think it was just trying to do several things at once cause i targeted a corpse and used a hotkey to /corpsedrag and then used nav to runto my party and it started flipping out jiggling back and forth and I was stuck , I also figured out why the cleric wasn't doing anything, the Lua crashed on my cleric and i didn't notice that it wasn't running.

No the RGMercs Lua does not share anything with RGMercs Macro except the name. The configs are completely different.

 

[Derple]

I am really not sure what state your guys are in but if you have the automation on, the expectation is that you aren't also manually running your toon. Also I would need more than 4 lines of logs to say anything about what was going on. As for your cleric do you have the crash stack trace anywhere?

 

[kaen01]

you have easy.Lua running, not good

you have afollow running, very not good.

you done all the things to make it not work, that you could.

Any update on this?
