The Clan Lord Sentinel

Alchemy Kit Macro



This macro does all the equipping and re-equipping for you. If you have the right training and ingredients, a potion is made. All you have to do is type one command.



Usage:

List the potions you can make: /make

Make a potion: /make <potion name>



In the macro below change all the occurrences of Slyph to whatever your Alchemy Kit is named.



"/make"

{

set lefty @my.left_item

if @my.left_item != "alchemy kit <#1: Slyph>"

"/equip alchemy kit <#1: Slyph>\r"

end if

"/useitem alchemykit " @text "\r"

if lefty == "Nothing"

"/unequip alchemy kit <#1: Slyph> \r"

goto end

else if lefty == "alchemy kit <#1: Slyph>"

"/unequip alchemy kit <#1: Slyph>\r"

goto end

end if

"/equip " lefty "\r"

label end

}



Feel free to ask me for help if you need any.

Any chance I can still find your cad macro?

I'll be back online soon. Thanks for asking.

It's a great macro Slyph... I can't wait till we actually get some kind of blue box that shows us making potions... I have had to create my own, which are cute, but not that fantastic. If you want I can post the full thing here.

It all depends on your sense of style, some people may not want the fact that they are mixing up potions advertised, myself ive made an entire routine out of it incorperating phantasms which i hope to expand as new ones are discovered.

Having a blue box that says Mjollnir brews a Red Healing Potion would interfere with that, just like it would interfere with those people who /action spitting on the uli petals and grinding them with the spores in a morter and pestle.

Player scripted effects are nice, but I'm all for a blue box and a cool sound. It fits with what's gone on before with Mystics and sunstone tuning. I've always found the lack of effects for Alchemy Kits to be disappointing. Maybe some /option can be created?



One negative aspect of player-scripted effects is that an alchemist lacking either the proper training or proper ingredients will fire off the special effects of a macro even when no potion is made. It's happened to me a few times, now.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it. Feel free to post any macro here that you like, Shaky.

The fact that there is a special effect when the Mystics tune a sunstone actually puts me off more, while the little ball of fire they juggle is a cool effect, the fact that it never changes means that i just about never notice it anymore while our own macro'd ones can be varied endlessly as we get bored of them or circumstances change



Id much rather see Shaky's action boxes than a generic "Shakyamuni brews a Red Healing Potion" just because it has a blue border rather than a red one.

It's not just a blue border. That would be silly. Blue boxes have about them the whiff of legitimacy; they inform players in a visceral way a red or green box cannot; blue boxes cannot lie. When Shaky uses red boxes in his macro, as varied and cute as they are, they remain parts of a script, as predictable in time as a blue box. They're creepy in a way, those red boxes: they tell you a role-player is in your midst. Beware.



Red Boxes are for sissies. Everyone knows that.
