WARP HOTKEYs

[Learningcurve]

To go along with Warp plugins that are in the Y,X,Z format I figured out this code that you can use in your hotkey to make you warp a distance of 5 from your target so you dont land right on top of them. There are 4 listed below pick the one that best suits you.

North of target

/warp Loc ${Math.Calc[${Target.Y}+5]} ${Target.X} ${Target.Z}

South of target

/warp Loc ${Math.Calc[${Target.Y}-5]} ${Target.X} ${Target.Z}

West of Target

/warp Loc ${Target.Y} ${Math.Calc[${Target.X}+5]} ${Target.Z}

East of target

/warp Loc ${Target.Y} ${Math.Calc[${Target.X}-5]} ${Target.Z}

Whatever your preferences

More Creative Options:

NorthWest:
/warp Loc ${Math.Calc[${Target.Y}+5]} ${Math.Calc[${Target.X}+5]} ${Target.Z}

NorthEast:
/warp Loc ${Math.Calc[${Target.Y}+5]} ${Math.Calc[${Target.X}-5]} ${Target.Z}

SouthWest:
/warp Loc ${Math.Calc[${Target.Y}-5]} ${Math.Calc[${Target.X}+5]} ${Target.Z}

SouthEast:

Yeah I figured once I had the N,E,S,W up there people could change it as they see fit, I actually am using +15 and all four compass locations so I can creativly use them in specific scenarios.

 

[Warrene]

Some folks might want to throw in a second line of code to face the target after warping (....much of my warping is a prelude to combat, so fast face is my friend...)

 

[someoneorsomething]

This works really well when you are rooted and the mob runs. Used this alot on the LS MM. i was always rooted. lol

 

[TeachersPet]

What I usually did when mobs would run was just /warp target behind, but I don't know if that's in any current versions you guys have.

 

[Learningcurve]

Nope I haven't seen that option in any documentation. Not to say it won't work

Just tried it ,doesn't work for my version, puts me right inthe middle of em

 

[Noobhaxor]

There are so many variations of Warp out there hard to distinguish one from another, but i have seen some version of "Megawarp" that has the x y z placing with distance from mob, also the regular warp (placed on RPG Expert) with randomizing the warp target... so you never land directly on top of target(which I hated and promply removed from the code).

I do however love the hotkeys. So Simple and highly useful to anyone that uses warp.

What's the syntax to just warp a little bit in one direction using the regular warp command?

If I do /warp by itself it displays a help screen with the commands one option is <|dir <dist>|>

I've tried:

/warp N 10
/warp North 10
/warp n 10
/warp north 10
/warp NORTH 10

I keep getting the help screen. What's the exact syntax it needs?

 

[Rydindirty]

try /warp dir 10 will warp you 10 the way you are facing

When I'm snared or rooted, I just use MQ2PreventSpeed and turn /dspeed on, which cancels out roots and snares...

 

[nyghteyes]

stupid question but do you have to have the UI installed to use hotkeys like this? I guess I wouldnt think this kinda info wouldnt be put in a standard eq hotkey lol.

 

[RedDog]

I guess I wouldnt think this kinda info wouldnt be put in a standard eq hotkey lol.

Why not?

 

[nyghteyes]

I guess I assumed,(assumption, the mother of all evil) that since typed lines were viewable by GM's that hotkey shit would also be seen by them.

Does MQ2 see the command given by the hotkey and decide where it goes before its put into the actual game?

not sure if I worded that right. But I'm sure you get my point.

any explanation would be helpful, thanks

 

[Siddin]

yes, mq2 only sends anything thats not an mq2 command to the eq client.

 

[nyghteyes]

wow does that make life easier, guess I was just too cautious before to risk trying it. I dont recall seeing a hotkey section in the guides area.
Thanks siddin

 

[Mochila]

Thats because its common sense. "How do I save time typing out commands and or messages?" Hmmm....And I think in your case , you're best being as cautious as possible.

 

[nyghteyes]

Thats because its common sense.

There are two general meanings to the term "common sense" in philosophy. One is a sense that is common to the others, and the other meaning is a sense of things that is common to humanity.

In this case "Others" = you people that have been using mq2 since the begining

So I can make hotkeys to run and end macros also? or is there a page that I can read on this other than this thread?

 

[Mochila]

Hotkeys are nothing.....They just allow you to type text without physically doing the typing. You can only do what you can normally type out...within 5 lines

 

[Learningcurve]

think you can do more with multiline but not sure what the correct syntax for that is. Cause it seems you can make one line hella long now in those 5 lines

Armysoldier has a nice guide on "doing more with hotkeys" in the guides section, it's what started me on the life of Hotkeys

 

[nyghteyes]

For anyone else looking here it is, Thanks Mik for where to look and Thanks Army for the excellent thread

WusUp, im a noob when it comes to this shit... i put in a hot key with the
North of target
/warp Loc ${Math.Calc[${Target.Y}+5]} ${Target.X} ${Target.Z}
says this not a valid command..umm how te fek i make it work lol

Just want to make sure that you DO have either MQ2Rwarp or MQ2Piggyzone loaded before using the hotkey correct?

IE: you can warp normally right?
