Lua - Vishimtar the Fallen Event Lua -- HELP Please? :)

[BrianGragg]

I took the Macro Czarman made here:

Help with a Macro.....

Help with a Visimtar Egg/DT (Creeping Doom) Macro..... Hey all. Really looking for a snippet to use during Vishimtar. It is very important that "a tainted egg" gets targeted and killed fast....1 hand blunt ONLY dmg on the mob. I figured out how to add a line to Rogue macro (RH.mac) that just...

www.redguides.com

and I'm modifying it to be a Lua so that it can be run in tandem with existing macro / plugins. The current plan is to just run the toons with Blunt weapons and not worry about swapping at this time. Later after I get it working, I'm planning on using a bandolier so that players can just make a common bando and use it across all their toons.

It's not working correctly at the moment and if anyone would like to correct my mistakes, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm way too tired at the moment to see what I'm doing wrong. I'll pick it back up tomorrow.

Thanks Knightly and Lemons for the code samples.

Awesome! I haven't tested but I have faith it works. I should have elaborated last night a little more. The reason for the [CODE title="Random Spawn Search"] mq.cmd('/nav id ${NearestSpawn[${Math.Rand[${SpawnCount["mournful spirit"]}]},"mournful spirit"].ID} | dist=10')[/CODE] was to hopefully keep the 4 toons that are debuffed from targeting and running to the same spirit. What would that look like with your updated code? If your code does do this and I just miss understood my appolologies.

Also, we don't want to be killing eggs if we have the Creeping Doom so I added back the nil.

  == nil

The fight mechanics are at the beginning of the fight, egg sacks spawn and you have to kill them before a drake hatches out of them. Blunt weapons are the only thing that really damage the eggs. While you are killing Vish you want to pull off and kill the eggs then get back on Vish. Then some other mechanics come into play until you get to 25%. At that point Vish starts casting Doom on 4 char's in the raid and they have ~48sec to run to a spirit and get cured. Each spirit only cures 1 toon. So when the 4 toons get the debuff each need to run to a different spirit. If by chance each toon runs to the same spirit, the 2nd one needs to find another spirit and run to it for a cure. The one thing I could never figure out is if a toon was running to a spirit and it poofed while traveling I would like them to redirect to another spirit.

**edit**
I also noticed you took out the loop for running to the spirit. I had the loop in there so that in the event someone beats you to the spirit and you are trying to get a cure the toon would run to the next spirit to get a cure hopefully. It 'should' of looped until it got a cure or died.

Ultimately the script needs to run for the entire event and not stop until it crashes (hope not) or the player ends it.

Latest untested script. Keep in mind that you need blunt weapons to be effective at killing the eggs. I may make two different Lua scripts after some testing so that only the boxes you want killing eggs go while the remaining stay on Vish.

Line 40: Attempts to compare two nil values. Also, while the corpse of the egg is still around, it will nav you back to them.

After eggs die, while nothing up.

Yeah haven’t had a chance a chance to work on it since the last update. I found out that it never leaves the egg because it still has a target. Any fixes are welcome. I’m by no means a Lua script writer. I’ve begged, borrowed, and stole what’s here

 

[Cannonballdex]

Line 40 might check that you actually have a target.

if mq.TLO.Target() ~= nil and not mq.TLO.Me.Combat() and mq.TLO.Target.Distance() < mq.TLO.Target.MaxRangeTo() then

Would turning on /hidec always on hide the corpse or would it still be visible because it is being targetted?

Normal functionality in game is that any corpse, either targeted or not would disappear once the hide command is issued.

 

[mortous]

/hidecorpse alwaysnpc FTW

 

[runcade]

I added a /hidec always command in the egg part and that seems to work well now. The local i = math.Random(mq.TLO.SpawnCount(spawn_search)()) part seems to be broken. I attached the errors that showed up in the mq2 window.
