Hunting with a second character in the group

[srm08]

Anyone have an idea on how this is possible without removing the match Also here line to avoid kill stealing?

Also, a way to have the following character swing with the main?

[pabstblueribbon]

Wow.

[srm08]

Wow.

I'm aware of the scripting policy. I know that long term scripting is against the rules for anything over 10 minutes. I sit at the keyboard watching both screens adjusting as needed. I could easily be one of the many players I've seen recently hunting in the Landing sewer nexus scripting ALL HOURS day and night.

Dual boxing is widely accepted in most other MMO's via scripting/macro methods. I understand that hunting with scripts puts a strain on the game plus the environment that I hunt in. Be it the simple side such as hoarding an area of critters or to the more extreme, albeit less likely, lagging the server. If someone else does have a problem with what I am doing I have no problem discontinuing to do it.

If your serious about scripting. You really need to check out Lich/Ruby.

This is also a script I pretty much use. It is nothing special and can be modified for your use. Just have the main guy be the party leader. It won't poach as it requires the first character to start the fight and then loops back once the critter is killed. I am sure a more talented scripter could make this so much better.

With lich, you can do things like send commands to the other lich instances, so you can have one script control both characters. You're going to get a lot more bang for your buck there.

Agreed but did you bump a 4 year old thread to say that or did someone else bump the thread then delete their post? :/
