Release Summon.lua - Navigate to nearst summoner in GL, Hail and say summon 1.3

[neophys]

neophys submitted a new resource:

Summon.lua - Navigate to nearst summoner in GL, Hail and say summon - Could possibly be done in a 1 liner, but this was a learning experience

Will find the nearest corpse summoner in Guild lobby, navigating to it without targeting, stopping at a random distance from the summoner, hailing and at random interval say Summon.

It could be done in a multiline command but this was a learning experience, and it worked great when working on Vex Thal mission and having to summon a full group every wipe

Minor feedback on the code - you're using string.format but then not using any formatting strings. string.format lets you use %s as a placeholder so that you can separate your string from the substitutions.

Second bit of feedback: instead of using mq.cmd("/Lua stop summon") you should just return or mq.exit(). using the command isn't as reliable (it may still keep running for a few instructions after the command is sent) and will break if the file is renamed.

 

[neophys]

Thanks for feedback Brainiac

This has been a great help. Thank you!

I have been trying to expand it to include running into the GL from PoK.

In my ignorance I have stumbled upon an extremely sloppy way to do it by adding this to the top:

local mq = require("mq")
math.randomseed(os.time())

if mq.TLO.Zone.ID() == 202 then
        mq.cmdf('/easyfind "Guild Lobby"', click)
        mq.delay(60000)
end

if mq.TLO.Zone.ID() == 344 then

    local rnDistanceToSummoner = math.random(20, 70)
    local rnSaySummonWaitTime = math.random(2000,15000)
    local priestID = mq.TLO.NearestSpawn('npc Priest of Luclin').ID() 

    print(string.format('\agNearest priest ID is:\aw'.. priestID))
    print(string.format('\ag - Navigating to \aw'.. rnDistanceToSummoner.. ' distance of him'))
    print(string.format('\ag - Waiting \aw'.. rnSaySummonWaitTime.. '\ag to say \awSUMMON' ))

    while true
    do
            if mq.TLO.Spawn(priestID).Distance() > 50 then
            print(string.format('\ag Spawn: \ay'.. mq.TLO.Spawn(priestID).Name().. '\ag found at \ar'.. math.floor(mq.TLO.Spawn(priestID).Distance()).. ' \agdistance'))
                mq.cmdf('/nav id %s distance=%s', priestID,rnDistanceToSummoner)       
        

            while mq.TLO.Spawn(priestID).Distance() > rnDistanceToSummoner do
                print(string.format('\ag ... Still more than \ar'.. rnDistanceToSummoner.. '\ag distance to priest'))
                    mq.delay(2000)
            end
              end
        mq.cmdf('/tar id %s', priestID)
         mq.delay(2000)
         mq.cmd("/h")
         mq.delay(rnSaySummonWaitTime)
         mq.cmd("/say Summon")
         mq.cmd("/lua stop Summon")
    end
end

If I do not add the delay it will end the mac and not continue once it zones into the GL.

I know there is an easy way to keep it from ending without the delay, I am just not edjumacated enough to figure it out yet...

Thanks again for taking the time to make this so I can save so much time later!

Thank you SO much! Works perfect!

Hey @neophys Can't send you a message directly, so I'm dropping this in here for you. Take what you want from it (or nothing, it's your script ).

Did some updates based on the feedback from @brainiac and the comments from @wisperin to run from PoK. Tweaks of my own to bring a character in closer and not delay as long.

Good script to do the simple, straightforward task.

Updated the ressource to your new version Rouneq.

Is there a way this Lua could pop a healer merc to res the corpse after summoning it?

 

[Magoo]

The soulbinder in the lobby is a "priest" too.

Being bound next to them, the script tried to use them...

 

[neophys]

@Magoo I tested it next to the soulbinder and got a "priest of luclin" when i ran script. I use the below to find the "Priest of Luclin" which doesnt match with the soulbinder. Can you test again on a single character?

    local priestID = TLO.NearestSpawn('npc Priest of Luclin').ID()

 

[neophys]

@EQ_Fan

Writing this without being able to test it atm.

At line 48 insert the following:

if mq.TLO.Mercenart.State() ~= "ACTIVE" then
         mq.cmd("/nomodkey /notify MMGW_ManageWnd MMGW_SuspendButton LeftMouseUp")
end

If should check if a mercenary is different than state ACTIVE and if so click the suspendbutton.

@Magoo I tested it next to the soulbinder and got a "priest of luclin" when i ran script. I use the below to find the "Priest of Luclin" which doesnt match with the soulbinder. Can you test again on a single character?

    local priestID = TLO.NearestSpawn('npc Priest of Luclin').ID()

I'll try to remember next time I need to summon.

 

[Magoo]

Repeated tonight.

Standing 20 units in front of High Priest of Luclin (Soulbinder)
/Lua run summon
Nearest priest ID is 11397
Soulbinder ${Target.ID} is 11397
Targets and says summon.

You might need the "A" in front of your name here,

local priestID = TLO.NearestSpawn('npc A Priest of Luclin').ID()

 

[Magoo]

Changed the line to include "A" in front of Priest and it works now.

 

[neophys]

Will update ressource on Saturday, when I am back home. I were testing in the side of guildhall with high priestess and from the middle of the throne room.

Thanks for the update magoo

 

[neophys]

Question about something I saw here. How did you know a travelto() method existed on the cmd object? Not sure I've seen a resource that details that (or maybe I did and just didn't recognize it)
I would probably have ended up using a / string

[CODE title="Command"]mq.cmd.travelto('guildlobby')[/CODE]

 

[rouneq]

I believe mq.cmd (and it's sub-commands) returns after issuing the command to the EQ client. Any code using such should follow up with verification logic the command is doing what's expected by checking defined outcomes.
