Salutations,
This is a macro for well... auto arching! Trys to keep you in range and press es the hotkey number 2 (where my hotkey is, pretty easily changed) I haven't tested it... but it should work...

Code: Select all

sub main 
  /varset v50 $equip(ranged,range)
  /varcalc v51 $v50*3/4
  :archloop
    /face
    /press 2
    /if n $target(distance)>=$v50 /sendkey down up
    /if n $target(distance)<=$v51 /sendkey up up
   /goto :archloop
/return

as a ranger, my biggest irritation is not only having to hit the arch key all the time, but hanving to equip my bow. how could you modify this script to use the bow name given in the macro command , check if it is equipt. if not, find it in the inventory, equip it, put item that was in range slot in bag?

like /macro archery.mac huntsmen
and it would grab the bow of the huntsment out of my bag equip it and fire away.

does this script take into account haste and such?

Salutations,
it just loops, doesn't matter the delay, it just trys to get range of some sort... ne way... heres the macro you where looking for:

Code: Select all

sub main
  /finditem $p0
  /if $find==false /return
  /click left equip ranged
  /varset v50 $equip(ranged,range)
  /varcalc v51 $v50*3/4
  :archloop
    /face
    /press 2
    /if n $target(distance)>=$v50 /sendkey down up
    /if n $target(distance)<=$v51 /sendkey up up
   /goto :archloop
/return

Code: Select all

sub main 
  :archloop 
    /press 1 
    /if "$target()"!="FALSE" /if "$target(type)"!="NPC" /goto :end 
    /if "$target()"=="FALSE" /goto :end    
   /goto :archloop 
 :end
  /endmacro

this is the way i setup the arch to work. that way when the thing dies, you stop trying to fire arrows and can make a hot key to run the macro.

the find item thing would error out if the bow was in a bag, and the distance stuff was making me run right on top of the mob. so i deleted that out.

not sure how how to make the dsistance thing work. tried using larger nubmers but always ran me right up to the mob *Shrug*
there is no need for the face command as when shooting yoru bow it will automatically face it.

hope this is useful
Cheers

Fippy

[Draekz]

[gingertips]

well i know ive had my ass wopped by one of em - forgot to remap the A key after a reinstall!!!

My only concern is their ability to cast, but i guess with a long range bow you might be ok???

[]\[E()]

nope i tried it a while aho they nerfed it that and the soulbinders too

[weapon]

Grimling Prisioner in Grimling forrest. I have shot about 30 arrows at it without gaining any skill so I'm not sure about gaining any skills but it is perma rooted for sure. Has about 25k hit points so should take a while to kill.

[ap50]

As long as it's a blue con mob or greater, you should still get skill ups, they nerfed the soulbinders soon after they were put in from high level to level 1 for a similar reason, people were just constantly attacking them for skill ups, as they wouldn't fight back.

The problem with this method is that its no better than using a gamepad to autofire your bow.

As soon as you try to chat, it looks like this.

If I were going to use MQ to autofire my bow, I would want to use
#turbo
:LOOP
/mouseto hotkey 2
/click left
/delay 0
Goto :Loop

That way you can continue to use the chat interface.

heres what i do and it allows me to chat while fighting.

REMAP your keys to something that doesnt output to text. ie: f1,f2,f3,f4,f5,f6,f7,f8,f9,f10,f11,f12,insert,home,pageup,pagedown,delete (not backspace),end,pagedown,any of the numpad keys,etc

lets use HOME for an example. your range attack hotbox is in slot 2. so normally you would press 2 to attack:

/press 2

change that to Home for the home key:

/press Home

now when you fight itll be spamming the Home key.. and when you chat, nothing gets sent to the bar because Home has no text output. the ONLY bad thing that can happen in the chat is when you press SHIFT, because shift + home brings you back to the start of the chat line. so just go without caps when your fighting and youll be OK to chat.

it also doesnt take up your mouse which i usually use to target/con/click other stuff like kick,disciplines,etc.

[kazan]

/press 2 = bad

/doability archery = good.

[eqjim]

can you /doability archery?

cause doesnt the bow go into the "Range" slot?

/doability range ??
