Question - The third /docommand is not executed by zoned.cfg

[Adonhiram]

Hello guys,

I have discovered recently (thanks to you all !) how to use the Zoned.cfg file to give instructions to be executed on zoning. As shown in my Zoned.cfg file, the first and the second command work perfectly, every time I zone, any active macro ends and the /hidecorpse looted command is executed each time, so far, so good. I wanted to add a third instruction to toggle /pet focus, as this setting is turned off when you zone (you have to /pet focus after each zoning, the game client resets it to off when you zone). But it doesn't work - only when I do a /loadcfg Zoned does it activate the /pet focus, but it's not done automatically upon zoning. What have I done wrong ? This is my Zoned.cfg file (the first line was there it's not me) :

/SetWinTitle ${Me.Name}.${EverQuest.Server} (Lvl:${Me.Level} ${Me.Class}) ${Zone.Name} ${Me.Instance}
/docommand /end
/docommand /hidecorpse looted
/docommand /pet focus

you may want to use timed and give it like a /timed 10

you also shouldn't need the /docommand on those, just the command should work

For my curiosity could you move the /end to the end of the Zoned.cfg and see if it does the same thing?

I remember something with /end having some weird Advance line behavior sometimes a few years ago. Especially when called from another context like it'd do if not executed by manually typing it.

Thank you Sic, do I need to put the "pause" on its own line ? Will try that and remove /docommand for /pet focus.

Sure, I'll test and will report here, always fun to experiment

Will test this and report :

/SetWinTitle ${Me.Name}.${EverQuest.Server} (Lvl:${Me.Level} ${Me.Class}) ${Zone.Name} ${Me.Instance}
/docommand /hidecorpse looted
/timed 10
/pet focus
/end

Need to be single line

Need to be single line

Ok understood;, thx Right now it doesn't work, I am raising the timed value to 15 to see if that is the issue. As for putting /end at the the end of the list of instructions, it doesn't seem to raise issues as far as I could see.

 

[Adonhiram]

I have raised the delay to 20. It works only when I zone to the Nexus (upon zoning /pet focus is toggled to on), but it doesn't work when I zone into other zones. Any ideas perhaps ? I admit I am perplex. /hidecorpse looted and /end work each time though.

/SetWinTitle ${Me.Name}.${EverQuest.Server} (Lvl:${Me.Level} ${Me.Class}) ${Zone.Name} ${Me.Instance}
/docommand /hidecorpse looted
/timed 20
/pet focus
/end

 

[Adonhiram]

SetWinTitle ${Me.Name}.${EverQuest.Server} (Lvl:${Me.Level} ${Me.Class}) ${Zone.Name} ${Me.Instance}
/end
/timed 10
/pet focus
/timed 10
/docommand /hidecorpse looted

/pet focus jus won't work either if I modify my Zoned.cfg like this, except in Nexus. I guess the issue is not solvable - it is not critical though, I can manually press /pet focus after I zone, won't kill me... Thanks everyone

"Not solvable" is different from "Did not follow advice"

As Sic pointed out, the /timed command must be on the same line as the command you want to delay -- so you're not doing anything by putting those /timed in there (other than possibly extending the "time" it takes by the processing of one command).

As far as what /end would do -- it would end any macro you had running while you were zoning.

/SetWinTitle ${Me.Name}.${EverQuest.Server} (Lvl:${Me.Level} ${Me.Class}) ${Zone.Name} ${Me.Instance}
/timed 20 /hidecorpse looted
/timed 30 /pet focus

But I'm not sure /pet focus does what you think it does.

 

[Adonhiram]

Oh you can be sure I know exactly what /pet focus does Thank you kindly for your advise.

Works like a charm now, thank you !. Fyi, Sic said "need to be single line" which lead to some confusion.

you asked if the pause needs to be on its own line, and i responded that it needs to be a single line.

glad you got it sorted.
