Problem with my macros...

Winder · Post by **Winder** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 8:42 am

Sometimes, well, quite often when i press a macro for a spell nothing happens, then when i press another macro the spell i tried casting earlier suddenly comes/is cast. This happens alot. I also experience a fair deal of spells casting but no cursor (Dont think this has anything to do with my macros tho)

I use 2/5 casting, and mainly my macro setup consist of Shift+Key and Alt+Key..

I dont have this problem when targeting as i use a similar key combo for my targetself/targetlast...

Ive been meaning to change my key setup, but im quite comfortable with this one, so if i could sort out the stuff that makes spells not trigger i might stick with it...

Any tips or solutions to this?

I get the no target cursor thing a lot. It seems linked to number of creatures/people on screen at the time. Not had the first problem though.

I find that when im in crouded areas my target stays up after the spell is cast.

When im casting spells in quick succession i get the no cursor bug.

And sometimes, i get a highly annoying bug that makes my cursor disapear after 1 seocnd or so. restarting UO is the only thing that can cure it.

If youre losing the cursor trying to cast spells too quickly, it's just your timing, you suck.

I doubt I'm trying to cast too quickly.
There are slugs with faster reflexes than me.

Could be a hardware problem, on my commonly used spells, the keys don't work as well...try alternating keyboard and see if you have the same problem.

In uoa last target macro, don't tick "pass to uo", seems to lag it and lose a few spells.

sorted the spells not coming when pressing keys by making ew macros for the most important ones in UOA instead... works fine now, have to time better but thats all good :p
