Hi.
I would like some directions to write a script, or if what i want cant be done with scripts, some hints to implement that on spellcast/windower.
Basically i have problems when i need to send command to my mule to help me in battle. Ive been using ingame macros:
/console send mule /assist player <wait 1>
/console send mule /attack
That macro works, but it has 2 problems: first one is when, for some reason, sometimes (and quite often) the second line is ignored, so i need to hit a second time the macro.
Second, more troublesome, is when the macros works, but the animation takes some time, and i end hitting the macro a second time. But as the macro worked in first time, resending /attack will force mule to disengage.
Those manual corrections can take few secs but, depending on content, can increase a lot the odds of failing, so basically, what i need is to make a functional if comand that do:
/console send mule /assist player <wait 1>
If status = disengaged
/attack
If status = engaged
Do nothing.
This way, i can spam the macro to make sure the mule will assist and attack without the downside of disengage if the mule was engaged beforehand.
Any help to implement this i appreciate.
Thanks in advance.

Instead you could use "/attack on" and "/attack off" or the shortened version "/a on" and "/a off", to counter this.
You can also use ";" to separate commands and fit more in one line:
/console send mule /assist player;wait 1;send mule /a on;
You could do the check you're asking for in a simple lua script too.
I just woke up but ill post something tonight if no one beats me and you're still interested.

You can save and load this as an addon. It only needs to be loaded on your main characters instance. Command is //assister mule_name or in a macro: /con assister mule_name. Top one does only what you asked for. The bottom one is slightly modified, It checks your status and your mule's status when commanded and sends assist+attack if your main is engaged and mule is not. If both characters are disengaged it sends mule a follow command, if main is not engaged and mule is engaged it sends "/attack off", all using the same command //assister mule_name.

Thanks for the script. I really appreciate.
Just fyi, you can shorten the two scripts a little, there's a bit of redundant code in there. Here's an example for the first one
Code
_addon.command = 'assister'
windower.register_event('addon command', function(name)
local self = windower.ffxi.get_player()
if self.status == 1 and windower.ffxi.get_mob_by_name(name).status == 0 then
windower.send_command('send %s /assist %s; wait 1; send %s /a on':format(name, self.name, name))
end
end)Thanks for the tip, Arcon. Keep them coming ;)
