Wait forever for target - RunUO

Trader Joe's · 10-27-2006, 12:57 AM

Whenever you set the marco like this..

Cast Magic Arrow (or any spells which needs a target)
Wait for target
Last target

Then when the marco is being run, it will pause at the "wait for target" and you have to manually set the timeout of wait for target. This "wait for target" function should go to the next step "last target" when the target in uo appears, but it doesn't.

Thanks for your attention.

Yeah, i've noticed this to. But at the moment; Razor works like this, nothing to do about it.

I suggest that you use a hotkey to cast the spell and another hot key for Last Traget, then choose to eneable the function Quest last target and target self.

So when you want to cast the spell you can click the splle hotkey, then immidiatly click your target hotkey, since last target is queud it will execute the last target command the milisecond that the spell is done casted.

Target Queu is hard to explain, so if you don't understand then don't feel stupid or anything, it's probobly my fault for not explaining good enough, just post again if u don't understand. =)

I think you're setting the timeout too short.

The Timeout is designed to be a fail safe. If you get inerrupted while casting the spell, then the target will never appear and the timeout is needed so that the macro doesnt sit on Wait For Target forever. The timeout should usually be 10 seconds or more unless you know exactly what you're doing.

It's not the timeout begin too short, instead it automatically set the time out to be 30 seconds or something. I didn't try to change the time out in the very beginning, with the perception that it will jump to the next step. However, the target cursor appears but the marco is still stuck at time out for "wait for target". So I consider this a bug.

Are you sure the target is in range? I can't reproduce this.
