Distraction At the Dead Scar bombing macros

[Nepida]

map these to a key, then talk to the dragonhawk flyer guy.


main: (allows you to target manually, useful for killing the casters)
/stand
/dismount
/script SelectGossipOption(1)
/use Arcane Charges


clones:
/stand
/dismount
/script SelectGossipOption(1)
/use Arcane Charges
/script Minimap:PingLocation(0, 0)

Makes me wonder if this will work for hala as well!

I made a video of me using this macro in this thread: $$$ Dailies $$$ ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=5620'). I also linked back to this post to give you credit.

I think most of the credit goes to Falkor and the people who worked on the minimap ping stuff :)

Ok so I watched the video and im not quite sure how this functions. Does it force your clones to throw the charge at the same place you do based on the minimap ping? I guess im not sure how you are able to control your minions to attack the same place as you, or how this script allows you to do that.

[Nepida]

No, your clones will bomb directly beneath them. Your main can target. What ends up happening is I target the sorcerers and pit lords and my clones kill the other guys as I fly over (while spamming the macro).

[marvein]

ah ok because a couple times it looked like they were shooting in the same place as you. But that is still awsome. This would make halaa ezmode too id bet, anyone tried this yet?

[Parsous]

Having all your clones bomb the same exact spot is a waste of effort though. I 5-box this by using a star formation bombing pattern, other then an out of the way Pit Overlord, or a really underpopulated bombing run I only have to spam the button to complete it, don't even have to bother using my main.

Minimap Ping: -10, 0
Minimap Ping: 10, 0
Minimap Ping: 0, -10
Minimap Ping: 0, 10
Main: 0,0

Your minimap zoom state will determine where the bombs land, I have all my alts fully zoomed out.

Now there's an interesting twist on it.

[sikerdebaard]

This actualy works for targeted AoE spells. Blizzard and Rain of Fire for example.


/cast rain of fire
/script Minimap:PingLocation(0, 0)

[Sanctume]

was this nerfed?

[kllrwlf]

was this nerfed?

Pinging minimap was nerfed with version 2.4.2.

No longer possible.

[Nepida]

was this nerfed?

The "auto" bombing portion has been nerfed, however you can still use the macro to have all your guys start flying at the same time. This is the more important aspect imo, because you can still manually bomb and easily get all 5 their quota if they are on top of each other.

I just use Zanthor's Quest Broadcaster ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=5713') mod made by one of our own multiboxers here then I have the following inserted at the begining of a couple of macros for one of my mage minions since they take off half a second after my main then I bomb from there and everyone gets credit. Works like a charm...

Macro insert for Dead Scar
/use [mounted] Arcane Charges
/stopmacro [mounted]

Macro Insert for Reinforcements
/use [mounted] Flaming Oil
/stopmacro [mounted]

Note all my macros use the red question mark as the icon and start with #showtooltip so the icon changes appropriately to what the macro does based on your current conditions....

I was looking for something like this. Thanks Zan, and thanks Caff for linking.

Eh, was digging through the wiki and came across this thread, and had a thought.

Couldn't you say, set a camera view to like a topdown view, then use AHK to bind a mouse click on each clone in a star pattern? (well, ok, you could, obviously. (I have a ahk script I used to get ghetto WSAD support in titan quest that gave me the idea. So i'td work. ) Eh, if what im proposing is unclear, have every clone look down at themselves, and then make 4 separate AHK scripts that each have 1 key bind that clicks..and one would click like to the right of screen center, the next to the left, the next above, etc. I think it'd work fairly well for targeted ae's. well, for casting it at the casters feet, anyway.

The question, i suppose, is would this be bad? I dunno. Its binding a click in a predetermined position on the screen to a key bind. 1 key press, 1 action. but on the other hand, it could be seen as subverting blizzards apparent 'no ez target ae at my feet' policy. eh. anyway, i figured i'd append it to this old thread rather than create a new one, since its basically a new idea for a way to create this macro =p. But the whole topic might be too grey. Oh well, thoughts anyone?
