Heavy crossbow script.

[Betheny]

Anyone have one?

I have no idea about making one on my own, but a command line like .crossbow orc, that'd cock you, grab a bolt, kneel, fire, stand.

Why do I read that so dirtily when you post it?

# Fire Crossbow

put kneel
put stance offensive
put fire crossbow at %1
waitfor roundtime
put stance defensive
put stand


Thats my crossbow script which I use...I have a premium account though so you might wanna change it for the extra line if you dont have premium.

I have macros for cocking and loading

\xcock my crossbow\r\xstance defensive\r

\xget 1 bolt from my thigh-quiver\r\xload my crossbow\r

If your archer is a ranger I also have another script for shooting using 608 which is

put kneel
put incant 608
pause 3
put stance offensive
put fire crossbow at %1
waitfor roundtime
put stance defensive
put stand

also helpful is another macro which says

\xgather bolts\r\xput my bolts in bolts in my thigh-quiver\r

Why use a script when you can use an Alias?

[Nieninque]

Dont you still have the type-ahead lines on aliases?

[Parkbandit]

I would put the "Put Stand" behind the "Put Defensive" in case you fumble and get a roundtime from it.

But I'm always thinking people want to kill poor innocent Sithral :)

[Nieninque]

I did do that



put stance defensive
put stand


Or did you mean the other way?

[StrayRogue]

The other way around. When in stance offensive its easier to stand up if encumbered.

This is my alias for Arnglum, using a bow. It can easily be altered for crossbow:

SHOOT = get 1 arrow from my case\rstance off\rfire arrow at \?

[Nieninque]

Yeah that works for a bow but with a crossbow you need to stand up again after the roundtime and you cant incorporate that into an alias, can you?

But surely it's better to get caught with the -50AS for kneeling in defensive than the -150AS for being in offensive?

[StrayRogue]

Technically yeah. But under those circumstances you're gonna get killed if you're hit anyway. I'd rather spend as little time in any kind of danger than risk a 10 second rt and being caught kneeling.

As for the alias, no you can't have it stand up. However theres no reason why you can't use the alias in a script that DOES stand you up.

This is what I use when I hunt with my crossbows... heavy or light.

[Nieninque]

Nice script but I prefer to choose the timing of actually firing the bolt.
I cock and load the crossbow after firing rather than before I'm going to fire, so it's ready for when I want to.

[Gan]

My rogue is usually a one shot/one kill crossbow user. I utilize hiding, shadowmastery, gambit stealth kneeling, then firing when I use my crossbow. When the kill doesnt happen for some reason then I either reload if I remain hidden or I draw my blade and finish off the target with a well aimed longsword to the eye.

I dont like reloading automatically in case I need to take evasive manuevers after the shot takes place (being locked in rt while the target is bashing on me stinks). However, thats just a personal preference.

If anyone wants me to customize a crossbow loading/firing script for them send me a U2U and I'll make one to their liking. (Subject to the limitations of my scripting abilities of course)

[Nieninque]

Which is why I have a firing script and then macros for loading and cocking.

I get to fire exactly when I want, so can get the stance of the critter in offensive when I fire.

Then can reload when I want to and be ready for the next shot.

Otherwise it's 10 seconds or more you are caught in roundtime
