Question - Swarm pets & "- of Many"

[kknights]

Does anyone know if there is a way to write a downshit/mac/plugin/whatever that is able to 1) detect the # of swarm pets on a particular mob, and 2) cast a spell if condition #1 detects X # of pets?

My intention is to maximize use of the Magician 'X of Many' spell line, current is Storm of Many, which has conditional damage based on the number of pets on a mob. I'd like to be able to maximize it and use it only during burns when I pop Mage AA swarm pets + Necro swarm pets in my group.

I suppose I could just use Many as a burn spell assuming there will be swarm pets up but I rather have something more defined if possible.

Thanks for any tips or help!

Something you could try would be to get a count of spawn's whose names match "MageName's Pet" or "NecroName's Pet" within a certain radius of target, and if it's above a certain threshold cast "xxx of Many"

An outline for a downshit would be like:

/if (combat && mobhp && math((magePetCountNearMob + necroPetCountNearMob) > threshold)) /cast xxx of many

I can try to help with syntax if you get stuck at any point.

yes i did this in afmage i wrote a few days ago with the help of eqmule.


/if (${SpawnCount[pcpet radius 100 loc ${Me.X} ${Me.Y}]}=>10) /cast spellname

I would go with William12's suggestion, the only thing I might change would be the Me.X, Me.Y to Target.X, Target.Y or the Main assists location.
