Macroing "guards" in town

Post by randale »

I was squelched about a couple weeks ago for macroing this too much. I do have to have a good amount of them in my macro actually. 2 in 10 seconds isn't enough. I was just killed a few minutes ago because I didn't have enough.

you can be non stop spamming guards and afk in town and still be town killed, in fact most town killers go for the person spamming guards first.

For Instance:

Open gate next to town macroer. Character Chuck E. Pots comes thru the gate, throws 2 purples, back in gate.
Chuck isn't in town when the pots explode <which is when the attack actually happens>. No Guard whack. Repeat till target is dead.

There is NO Safe Place to be AFK in town even if you yell guards 1726 times a second...

What other ways are there? Casting explode, and then going through the gate before it takes effect?

The best way to combat the town killers is like this

Dont spam "guards"

Instead put in your macro

If HIT < (yourmaxhp)-1
say "guards"
end if
pause 1000



The reason i say this is because when the town killers see you macroing but dont see you ever spamming 'guards" then they arent really prepared for it when it comes.

Example:


If HIT < (yourmaxhp)-1
say "guards"
end if
pause 1000
Use Anatomy
Ab Target
pause 1000
If HIT < (yourmaxhp)-1
say "guards"
end if
pause 1000
If HIT < (yourmaxhp)-1
say "guards"
end if
pause 1000
If HIT < (yourmaxhp)-1
say "guards"
end if
pause 1000
If HIT < (yourmaxhp)-1
say "guards"
end if
pause 1000
If HIT < (yourmaxhp)-1
say "guards"
end if
pause 1000
If HIT < (yourmaxhp)-1
say "guards"
end if
pause 1000
If HIT < (yourmaxhp)-1
say "guards"
end if
pause 1000
If HIT < (yourmaxhp)-1
say "guards"
end if
pause 1000


I have never been killed in town afk macroing while using this method. Never been squelched because your macro will only say guards if your less then your max hp.

Prior to using this setup, i definately was a victim and had my macro saying "Guards" every few seconds and would still die.

But since using the above....Well maybe i am just the luckiest player ever because my macro has stopped at least a dozen would be killers and i have never dropped once while using it.

well ive killed people using the same logic as your macro just fine ............ luck like the last time you mentioned it on a thread like this would most likely be the reason you have not been a victum

Holy )*^&* NO! It scares the hell out of me that people actually write macros like this.

Use Anatomy
Wait for Target
Ab Target
For(10) // or whatever
If HIT < (yourmaxhp)-1
say "guards"
end if
pause 1000
End For

I agree with last post. That macro is stupidly long. I promise you that his six lines of code will accomplish your sixty.

Actually the above macro will not work for two reasons. Why?

1: You have a 10 sec pause in the middle. This means you are only going to say guards at min every 11 seconds.

2: If you take out the 10 sec pause then the second time around you will get an timeout error in Razor and the macro will not restart for 30 seconds.


What you can do is this....
Now you can delete the Wait for target line. Insert a pause 1000 there and then it will work. Then take out the Pause at the end.
So the macro would look like this.

Anatomy
Pause 1000
Absol Target
If HP < maxhp-1
Say Guards
End IF

Here is your 6 line macro that will accomplish anything.

Wrong.

What I posted will:
-Use anatomy
-LOOP 10 times:
***if hurt: say guards
***wait 1 second

There is not a 10 second pause in the middle. There are 10 1 second pauses in the middle, each with a call to guards.

While what you then posted is much better than the original 600 lines, it's still not optimal. What I posted is 100% as good as it gets. I'm a professional programmer, so please, don't bother trying to tell me I'm wrong.
