Hey all, is there a macro a standing healer can use so that you stop following the person in front of you, stand still, cast a heal, and then start following again? It would be kinda handy. I've tried this the obvious way (/stopfollow, cast ability, /follow) and I still get the 'Interrupted' message. Thanks for any ideas!
Not really. Macros don't pause in EQ2 the way they did in EQ1. So the macro you suggested will start following the moment after you start casting the heal, not after the ability is cast.
Macros won't do it. The person in front needs to stop long enough for the heal to be cast, or the person playing the healer (assuming it's not a bot/box) needs to actually navigate for themself. If it is a box/bot, the player can easily just stop on the main toon.
You could, but not in a way that's very practical. By setting up a loop alias system in a file command you can cause artificial delay, but it does cause some relatively extreme lag. (my 8700k drops to like 10fps while the loop is running)
Maybe include the ability to cast uninterrupted in your macro first and press on? That said, I'm not much for being on follow and working my toon.
With one macro press, don't think so. I believe you could do 2 macro presses (with short pause in between) by using togglefollow instead of stop follow ie. togglefollow cast
