Wand Waving

[vamosj]

We can incant and hit the next live target...

Why can't we have a wand waving verb that can do the same?


This would help a TON in warcamps.

It doesn't do anything to fix the underlying problem, but if you set a macro for WAVE WAND AT TARGET, it'll see you through your difficulties. I agree, though, that it would be nice for that to happen automatically. Also, if you drop dead non-disintegrating wands, or if there are some fresh ones you haven't picked up yet, going with MY WAND should cover all your bases.

Doesn't WAVE LEFT work?

[yesicj]

Probably (I can't really think of a reason why it wouldn't, actually), but I wasn't sure if the poster did shields or runestaves, so I went with the more generic one.

[vamosj]

I use a runestaff..

[yesicj]

Then WAVE (MY) WAND AT TARGET is your friend. I have mine with \n at the end and use it as F1 in Avalon, but I can't remember if Wizard still uses \r for the instant entry thing.

[vamosj]

I'll give that a shot and see how the outcome is.. .If you see "Tempester bites the dust" then please come get me.

One quick question, will you have to determine the target in advance prior to this?

[vamosj]

Still won't auto target the critter.. Even after I state "Target Ogre" for instance I still would have to put "wave my wand at ogre" for it to work.. And if there's more in a room and it's already dead, then it impedes things further.

There is a fairly simple solution to your problem.

Search the dead ogre.

It's been too long since I've done Ruby + Lich but you could try finding the array of living targets.



GameObj.npcs.each { |mob|
if mob.status != "dead"
put "wave my wand at ##{mob.id}"
end
}

Things can die quick in a warcamp with 2 or 3 other individuals in there hunting. While they are able to blast away without regards to "dead" things it ends up leaving me somewhat useless as I would just be searching whatever gets killed just to find out when I get done searching, my next target would be dead. Hence why I'm griping about this mechanic. I'm currently working on a script to get around this but having difficulty with it also (see misc. scripts "Warcamp Wizard")

I've taken a look into Ruby and it will take me a little bit to get that language down. I was hoping to make a SF script to acomplish this task. I guess if it comes down to it I'll have to learn ruby just to pick this up.

Did you read my above post?

Keep in mind the code above will wave at every creature in the room that doesn't have a status of dead, so you'll get a lot of trying to wave a wand after having waved it at the first non-dead creature in the array. You can just save the first true conditional and put the waving after the array loop.

Doesn't WAVE LEFT work?

Well Rimalon, finally got around to trying your suggestion (Just saw it actually) and looks like this fixes the issue.

Simple and sweet, thanks for that command>

[vamosj]

"WAVE LEFT" for the win.... Works wonders.

:thanx:

I am, indeed, the fucking man.
