is it possible

Hiya

Is it possible to have a mapped key that can cast 8-10 spells in a row with say 2 secs delay between casts.
I use macro just now to cast 5, i was just wondering if i could do more....what i want to do is when fighting named with loads of hps is send message to necro to cast a full list of dots, then sit.

Thanks

Re: is it possible

If you're looking for a way to automate the process by pressing the key once and forgetting about it, then no.

Otherwise, you can make a Mapped Key which consists of multiple Steps and you can enable the "Do not advance" option along with how long you want to stay on each Step. This still requires that you keep pressing your Hotkey, though.

You can call an Everquest social (which is a macro, in many games).
The EQ system will allow you to cast a spell and then pause before casting the next line.
I believe you can have five lines in an EQ social.

Something like:
/cast 1
/cast 2; /pause 50
/cast 3; /pause 40
/cast 4; /pause 50

I believe the social system will then cast 1, pause 5 seconds, cast 2, pause 4 seconds, cast 3, pause 5 seconds, cast 4.

IS Boxer has no repeat/looping features.
You can have it send a keystroke at the time of your input.
You can have it send several output keys (all simultaneously) to your input/hot key.

You can have it limit the output to no more often than once every x seconds.
If you wanted an ability to fire off exactly every 3 seconds... you could make a mapped key with two steps, with the desired action on step 1 and nothing happening on step 2 (which will not advance (back to step 1) until 3 seconds have passed... and then spam the key 3-4 times per second.

The EQ macro system allows delays/pauses.
IS Boxer does not.
So you'll have to have IS Boxer send a keystroke to the game, and let the games social/macro system handle any delays and strings of abilities/spells you wish to cast.
You could have one hot key, which has IS Boxer send an output to three different characters, which triggers three spells each, via the EQ Social system.

Re: is it possible

iirc the pause goes before the cast like

/cast 1
/pause 50, /cast 2
etc.

also, the time isnt just cut n dry, theres a writeup on allha that explains it in detail.

Re: is it possible

ALso, the pause goes on the line before. In other words, if I want to do two lines, with a two seconds pause, it would look like this:

/pause 20, /command 1
/command 2

Kind of weird, but it works. And the pause is in tenths of a second.
