Gifting Levels (Without clicking anything, cause clicking is lame) + Summon Macro

[viisual]

Griznah and I figured this little tidbit out today, I'm sure someone else has but I haven't seen posts about it anywhere when doing the research.

This will be the fastest way you can do this at this point, without an addon, and it wont require to much work either!

2.4.3 Introduced a new script api for wow: GrantLevel() ('http://www.wowwiki.com/API_GrantLevel')
*note: your target needs to be in line of sight for this to work.


/script GrantLevel("MyCharacterName", 1);

or alternatively


/script GrantLevel("target", 1);


Unfortunately, with our testing, we found that changing the level had no effect on the process, it only grants 1 level.

Now, great, we can pop up a window on our veteran account and grant a level pretty efficiently - Oh wait, now we have a pesky dialog on our Grantees screen, I don't want to push my left mouse button 59 times just to ding 60, that's crazy...and if you don't want to either, just use this snippet to click "Accept" on that dialog.
*note: this button may also accept other things, that you may or may not want to accept, it's a very generic name.


/click StaticPopup1Button1

So it's pretty simple, just throw these buttons on the same button and press it 60 times. I think these macros would fit in nicely with MultiboxerV2 *nudge*

Oh and the summon ('http://www.wowwiki.com/API_SummonFriend') macro, this one is simple but I thought it was neat so here it is:

SummonFriend("MyCharacterName")

I haven't used this method personally yet, but I will be this weekend - Let's see who can level to 60 in the fastest amount of time now...

Hope you guys find this information helpful!

Who can go faster than this?

Ugh, this probably belongs in the Macros & UI forum, sorry about that I'm kinda new *looks at post count* feel free to move it moderators ;)

[Griznah]

Confirmed:)

/click StaticPopup1Button1


Does this also accept resses and BG ports?

[viisual]

It actually may, I will show you how to test this out with.... ANOTHER MACRO!

(Guys over at auctioneeraddon.com figured this one out, I'm stealing it cause it rocks)
*note: not sure if it needs a semicolon, doubt it since it's just one line though.


/run DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(GetMouseFocus():GetN ame())

So what this will do, is when you hoover your mouse pointer over a button (or probably any frame in particular) it will give you the name of it. In our case, the Accept Button is named: "StaticPopup1Button1"


From here you have 2 things to figure out.
a) If the name is the same, it will work!
b) If the name is differant, just add a /click to your "All-In-One-Accept" Macro and you should be good to go!

Also, I should mention that SSPVP2 ('http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info4569-SSPVP2.html') , is a great pvp addon which auto-releases, auto-joins, auto-leaves among other things. And Multiboxerv2 ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.php/Addon:MultiboxerV2') will actually handle the auto-res. If you would prefer to go that route.

NOICE!

I really wanna see a screenshot/fraps of how fast this works, like in the middle of orgrimmar or something...

Nice :)

Manually levelled to 3.85 - then summoned to Undercity for a total of 3.92, then granted levels.

Thanks for the scripts, those are awesome. I really like the one for finding the mouse over button, should come in very handy.

As for MBv2 integration, which would you want added, the summon? Seems like the level granting would be rarely used.

Yea, auto-accept level could be risky to add, but auto-accept summon would be nice.

To be honest though, I don't know how you could implement summoning friends. There are to many parameters for how people summon, for example I abuse it hard. I have all 3 RAFs bound in home cities, and my main summons them, but they summon him - so in essence I have like 4 hearths, and can get my group together to any city in a flash. However it requires zoning once, then summoning my RAFs. I dunno I will keep mulling it over, maybe you can think of something to do with these functions:
There are two useful functions I know of:
CanSummonFriend() ('http://www.wowwiki.com/API_CanSummonFriend')
SummonFriend() ('http://www.wowwiki.com/API_SummonFriend')

I could see a timer of sorts (I think the friends list has a timer though, at least a button to push to do this) and a auto-accept being pretty useful.

The leveling macros are probably better suited as is, macros.

But things I know would be helpful:
Auto-Accept BG (Would probably need a time to wait before accepting)
Auto-Leave BG (" ")
Auto-Release (Would only want this in BG, personally - and not on shamans!)
Auto-Accept Summons (If you didn't want to summon, you probably should have moved in the time it takes to cast the summon)

Thoughts?

THANKS A MILLION!!!

This was so easy to use it made it no work at all. I created a macros for my 'gifters' and then one for my 'gifty' and put them on the same button. Just hit one button and wait for it to all finish. Leveled two new toons to 59 and it was very easy using your script.

Folks, this thread should be rated!

[brontes]

"Who can go faster" ?

You could get <3 minutes easy. Make guy, summon to two gifters next to cloth turnin guy. Gift to 28 or 29 where a turnin or two will put you at 90%+ of a level. Gift to 59. Turn in runecloth to ding 60, mageweave if nessicary.

All these "its a waste to gift from level 1!" posts amuse me. I already have more 60s than I know what to do with.

ps: I rated this thread and apparently hit the minimum number of ratings for it to "stick." Awesome thread.

Might be a very stupid question, but how does this gift thing work? :O
Is it something with RAF?

You guys do realize that you can gift all the way up to 60 and end up with almost a full bar to 61, right? Just making sure....
