Stromfront and focused mstrikes

[Lithalion]

Has anyone else had problems with using the "multistrike" button in Stormfront to perform a focused mstrike when only 1 critter is in the room? I have 30 ranks of MOC and can manually type "mstrike [critter]" and do a focused mstrike. But if I click the multistrike button in Stormfront, I only take 1 swing at the critter yet still have the longer mstrike RT.

I remember (years ago, another life) that the Stormfront multistrike button "knew" when to do a focused mstrike vs an open mstrike based on the number of critters in the room.

Any help is greatly appreciated.:help:

I always feel like you waste half the day any time you have to remove your hands from the keyboard and click the mouse.

Instead, I'd spend 30 seconds now to save ever thinking about it ever:


crittercount=0
GameObj.npcs.each { |npc| if npc.type =~ /aggressive/ then crittercount+=1; end}
if crittercount == 1
fput "mstrike ##{GameObj.npcs.find {|npc| npc.type =~ /aggressive/}.id}"
else
fput "mstrike"
end


Based on my recent experience with this whole aggressive creatures deal, I've gone above and beyond on this one.

Condensed version:


if GameObj.npcs.find_all { |npc| npc.type =~ /aggressive/}.size > 1 then fput "mstrike"
else fput "mstrike ##{GameObj.npcs.find {|npc| npc.type =~ /aggressive/}.id}"; end

Wow. That's certainly interesting. What does that code do, in layman's terms?

It looks like it counts the NPCs in the room if they can attack you. Then if that count is one it focus mstrikes the creature. If it is greater than 1 is mstrikes the room.

actually the problem is stormfront does not recognize that you can focus mstrike at 30 ranks. but when you have 35 ranks of MOC you will get another click option one for just plain old Mstrike and one for focused Mstrike

ive been complaining about this for quite some time now.

Thank you! At least it will correct itself soon. I appreciate the response.

Please stop using your mouse while you play gemstone.

You will thank me some day if you do.

Fuck the mouse, I play GS purely with touchscreen.

i wonder if any hardcore GS'ers will buy the Kinect for PC for the sole reason of playing Gemstone with it.
