Macro for the /trap FFG


Canine

 

Posted

Been playing around with my necro/traps, having loving bubble boy the FF generator. But sometimes it just dont wanna follow in a proper way, or stick too far away from me. Since it has fast recharge, i often dismiss it and resummon it at the spot i want it.
Now i tried to make a macro that dismis it and exec the power again so i get i get the clicky cursor again. But wich command can i use to dismis the FFG, since /releasepets destroy everything and petcom_name Force dismiss isnt working (says no active pets wich such name).

Anyone experience with the bind/macro's on non-active pets?

You're thinking way, wayyy too fancy.

Just resummon it. The old one self destructs, and the new one appears where you summoned it.

Problem solved

That's actualy the thing i'm doing now, but i was wondering if there was actualy a command that can destroy your FFG. Since i'm using a G15 keyboard, would been cool to have buttons assigned for it so i dont have to keep clicking.

Sorry if this sounds 'off' but why exactly would you ever need to dismiss an existing FFG without immediately resummoning one?

I can't think of ANY situation where I'd want to be rid of my Mez protection and a big lump of my general defences.

On my MM, if I want a new FFG, then since I've got the power in slot 4 of the 3rd tray, I just hit Ctrl+4 and click once on the terrain somewhere.

You could always just map one of the G15's macro keys to whatever keyress your FFG's currently on.

Or you could get really fancy and map it to something like (I don't have a G15 so I'm not sure of syntax etc) :

"<enter> /powexec_name Force Field Generator <enter>"

Not sure if that'd work or not though.

In quite some situations the bubble stays at a little distance, but just at the wrong side (at the back). Only way to get it closer for my pets is to run forward and draw unneeded agro. I want it to be where i want it to be.. not near it or behind it.

By simple destroy it and resummon it in front of me (mather of few seconds max) its back where it should be. I know the macro to make the FFG, but i am looking for the commandline that can destroy it. (like the /releasepets, /petcom_all dismiss etc, since the FGG is no valid 'pet' for the petname command)

I just don't understand what you want here X. When you summon a new FFG the old one blows up and the new one takes its place where you just cast... What exactly is the problem? Since it is not a valid pet I don't think there is a command to just make it blow up.

There isn't a text command to dismiss just the FFG, I've checked (well, apart from /release_pets, which is a bit overkill if you've got all your other minions set up and shooting at stuff). And I'm still struggling too, to figure out why anyone would ever want to throw away an existing FFG without immediately resummoning a new one.

Maybe I'm misintepreting your posts, sinergy, but could you try and explain again why just resummoning isn't acceptable?

The only way I've found to get rid of just the FFG is to right click on it in either the pets window or on screen and select dismiss.

Ok now i'm really fed up retyping the entire message again, followed by a 'cant find page'. Anyway, at certain moment i notice the FFG is either lingering behind me at quite some distance (aka the moment i do 1 step forwards i'm out of bubble or my pets are outside of it since i immobilized a mob), or is just not following fast enough.

By just replacing the slow/away FFG by one that is near me (and my pets), it saves me some annoying moments.

In the heat of battle, i dont want to do a rightclick/dismiss (or x), as often i'm jumping and clicking around. But now reading you can just resummon one and the old one gets destroyed... I serious never knew that If this is the case, its simple and easy i have found my problems solved

Synergy_X, as others have tried to point out, the act of summoning a FFG will automatically destroy any other FFG you control that is already in play.

What is trying to be explained is that there is no need for a "destory FFG" command, because such a process is automatic when the FFG is resummoned.

There is simply no need to right-click-Dismixx/right-click-X.

I hope that clears things up for you.

Nevermind. I watched far too many cartoons when I was a kid. Synergy was the computer and the word used to activate magical powers in the show Gem, a cartoon seriously hyped in the late 80's and early 90's in the States. Lord knows if it ever made it to Europe.
I think the only memorable thing was the bad guy from the show was a British punk band called, get this, "The Misfits". No relation to some other REAL band you would have heard of.
