Question - Using holys/downs can you detect mana/end % on other group members?

[Meistro]

Was wondering if there is a way for a downshit to detect another toons mana and/or endurance level?

I have several items, AA's that can boost the regen rates of mana and/or endurance on other toons or whole group. I can (and have) set them to activate (group versions) when they are available, but have had them fire at times when they aren't really needed.
Was hoping to see if there was a way for toon A to watch the mana on toon B, and endurance on toon C, and then use the item/AA when my criteria is met?

Maybe with MQ2NetBots... The source code I have has endurance commented out though. Maybe the RG release doesn't?

I've done this before. If the solution isn't posted by the time I get home from work ill post it up.

I've looked at that, but just as the MQ2Melee TLO WIKI pages...I understand less than 1/10th of it...
It seems like it would give me the ability I need, but I'm confused on how to actually use it.

I am guessing that you could do something like: ${NetBots[toonname].PctEndurance}

I'll give it a try with the RG compile during my lunch break if I have time.

IIRC I used ${Group.Member} to pull endurance and mana info. I'll double check when I get home tho.

${Group.Member[${Group.Member [NAME]}].PctMana}

 

[Hihi]

That should be the correct syntax, JB.

/if (${NetBots[ToonB].PctMana}<XX && ${NetBots[ToonC].PctEndurance}<YY) /useitem ZZZZ

To get NetBots to work, you need to set it up though. I'd recommend logging your toons in and using eqbc to set them up.

/bcaa //plugin mq2netbots
/bcaa //netbots on
/bcaa //netbots grab=on
/bcaa //netbots send=on

${Group.Member[${Group.Member [NAME]}].PctMana}

IIRC??

So it's a double call use of the Group.Member TLO (I never would have guessed that), and use name, not group slot# (1-5)?

 

[Hihi]

Or what Riot said.

Using slot isn't reliable because your group setup isn't always going to be identical as far as how the group lines up. Using the Name setup will make sure you're always checking the right person (as long as you're grouped). If you're not in same group for whatever reason, the netbots functionality will be more reliable.

REQUEST....ability to post more thankies....I'm out already.

But if my group was always setup the same or I theoretically had it watch all 5 other members then Slot# would work

IIRC = If I Recall Correctly.

Hihi explained the double call for Group.Member perfectly.

Yeah slot number would work just fine if you're watching everyone. Just remember it's 0-5 where you're 0 and everyone else is 1-5.

 

[Hihi]

Well yeah, if you want it to watch all 5 members for mana and endurance, that could work. From your original post though, it looked like you were trying to watch specific toons for mana or endurance. You could set up 2 checks per group slot for mana and endurance check and not have to worry about it in future, but it won't be as customizable as using the name calls for a specific check.

Yes for what I'm working on ATM, I am only trying to watch the 2 or 3 "problem" toons, but I am inquisitive, and have other irons in the fire, and knowing this now might curb 10 questions later..

<<I still need mare Tankies.....lol>>

 

[Hihi]

For those wondering why Riot used a double group call like that: Using ${Group.Member[Meistro]} only returns the group slot# of the person named there. We'll say that Meistro's in slot2. So when using ${Group.Member[${Group.Member[Meistro]}].PctMana}, it evaluates to ${Group.Member[2].PctMana}, which returns the mana% for the person in the second slot in your group window.

 

[jimbob]

Yeah, I forgot about the ${Group} TLO. :p It can be used the same way. If they're outside your group, you will have to use another source though.

 

[Meistro]

Just looking at "in group" senarios ATM, but who knows....food for future thought...


I may learn this yet..
