Question - Spawntimer ? (1 Viewer)

[Marques85]

Hey There,

one question, is there a Spawntimer to see when a Quest NPC will spawn again? (maybe in MQ2?)

For example : someone hand an item in = NPC despawn = now i dont really know (not exaclty) when it will spawn again

Best regards

At a guess, spawning mobs is server side, so no "cheat" to tell when a spawn will happen.

There are of course various ways to make a count down timer, but they amount to the same as setting an egg timer on your desk.....IE you still have to know when X NPC despawned and how long is it's respawn,and if it has any variance (Like say 6hour +/- random number up to 45m) which you are only going to find through experience or research.

But that is just a guess

There are also the span watchers that announce when something on a list spawns

But that is just a guess

If you do a little looking around, there's things you can get set so if you have a toon in the zone, it will alert you that the mob is up though...

Is there a :

/Tar NPC

/AutoTurnIn item

Function ?!

Not a command or function, but you can write a macro to do that

You got pretty close

/tar npc <his name>
/itemnotify "name of item" leftmouseup
/delay 2s ${Cursor.ID}
/click left target
/delay 2s !${Cursor.ID}
/notify GiveWnd whateverthegivebuttoniscalled leftmouseup

/tar npc <his name>
/itemnotify "name of item" leftmouseup
/delay 2s ${Cursor.ID}
/click left target
/delay 2s !${Cursor.ID}
/notify GiveWnd whateverthegivebuttoniscalled leftmouseup

Here is the full give button command:

/nomodkey /notify GiveWnd GVW_Give_Button leftmouseup

UI interactions are a PITA to find, so wouldn't wish that upon anyone when I already have the info.

Hey cool thanks i have no "clue" of this things ...

How can i use this now? Do i Need MQ2 with a Addon running? (which Addon?) or with the "ingame" Macro like "/g Inc a %T get ready ---

?

Is diving through the XML the only way to find out whateverthegivebuttoniscalled?

I'm not in front of my code right now, but basically yes to start, as far as I'm aware. Then once you narrow down a bit it's all about the window commands in MQ to figure out what is available in that container, then continuing to experiment and drill down. I wish everything was in the XML, but I have not found that to be the case.

Happy to be proven wrong, though. Would save a lot of time.

Use the /windows command to list windows children and their elements
It takes partial and open as arguments.
I find that /windows open works best for me when I need to find what children an open window has.
