With a macro/plugin, is it possible to define variables... (1 Viewer)

[Stropfo]

With a macro/plugin, is it possible to define variables while in game? I don't really know how to make plugins, and only simple macros.. but if it is possible here is what I have to say. I wanted to make a rogue macro. I have a hotbutton to turn it on, and all it does is turns on attack, backstabs, disarms, then attack off, pickpockets, attack on. Sometimes I switch around my hotkeys, and I was wondering if you could have a command that asks you for the key like:

/squelch Please type in the number for: Backstabbing.
then when you type it in, it somehow changes something, maybe in an ini file, then it says
/squelch Please type in the number for: Pickpockets
and so on...etc...

There may not even be a command for this, and maybe there could be.









Thanks for your time - Stropfo

Why don't you just use /doability Backstab or /doability Pickpocket? Doesn't that just activate them no matter what hot button you have?

 

[Stropfo]

the pickpocket one doesnt

 

[Stropfo]

well, doability # does work.
Is there any way to check if the target is npc, and then do something?
and then when the npc dies stop?

You could try using MQ2Melee Stropfo.

MQ2Melee (Wiki entry)

MQ2Melee (MQ2 forums)

Once you set it up it is really nice

Yeah I have to say My rogue loves MQ2melee. Dreamthief if thats yours you my friend are a GOD! My rogue fights backstabs when he is in the rear evades pickpockets hides sneaks checks for treaps the whole nine yards all because of mq2melee. No sense in reinventing the wheel

It's not mine and I only recently discovered the godly goodness that is MQ2Melee

Up until a few months ago I was coding all the different things I wanted to happen into my macros. MQ2Melee takes care of all that stuff, it even helps casters (ie. auto back off during enrage).

One of the best plugins available for sure.

I was only using that as an example, I knew about the doability, but what i want to do now is when a macro starts like define a persons name.

 

[armysoldier]

/declare PersonName string Local ${Param0}

or

/Varset PersonName ${Target.Name}


the more specific you get the better we can help you achieve your goals....


if you look at some of the other macros on this site or MQ2 site you will see 10000000 examples of how to declare variables... and the best syntax for them

So in the macro file I can have a /declare? and then What? Is it the person that is targeted? or what... I just made a simple PL Macro for myself, and I would like to switch between characters sometimes. And it would be much easier just to type the name of the person that I am PLing.

 

[armysoldier]

every variable has to be declared..

but you can assign the value to the variable in the declare statement

or you can assign the value later on as a /varset statement

the best thing IMO without seeing the macro code....

you can also get info like

/mac PL toon1

and in the macro

/declare Name ${Param0}


then make a hotkey for each toon your switching between

/mac PL toon1

/mac PL toon2


there are lots of ways to do it .. but without code

we will be here for weeks tossing questions back and forth
