Re: Instantly Dead!! Why can you throw 3-8 GE potions at one time with a script in PV

Unless you are playing EU or Drac...ping issues would prevent the pot chucking UO assist macro from working. Are you playing those servers...or are you going to say you are using this macro on US servers?
i play europa and i just moved a char to drachenfells tbh i havent tested the macro on us servers but i expect my ping to be to high .... and no they dont follow u round houses.... if the pot has been thrown before u go round the corner it may apear to follow you but i threw it before u went round corner... its not that over powerd as everyone knows i do tend to kill myself when line of sight blocked or i get random lag or if someone casts stone wall or invises or if they just run up to me.... oh and i cant even heal while im tossing pots because the item delays... people just need to learn to pvp the pot macro has been around since day one of uo why people start to moan now i have no idea....

If you know the script...you can usually work out a way to defend against it or counter it. With this one though there is no counter.
Oh but there is, Run into the person throwing the pots, Run into a group of other people (expode pot dammage is split between everyone in the area), cast stone wall, hit a smoke bomb.

All of the above work.

The explopot trend comes and goes, and everytime it comes people start to moan.

Now explopots are in fashion again, so people moan. When people are not using em, people don't moan. This discussion comes and goes as the trend of explopots comes and goes, so this is not the first time people have started to moan about it.

But yeah, maybe it should be that you can't put that 3 sek timer going on new pot before you have thrown the last one you put timer going.

People could still throw pots, either by throwing many at same target but then the pot stays there that couple seks on ground before exploding, or then you can throw timed pot every 3 seks.

Thou it's true what maka is saying, people tend to kill themselves with these too. But the scripts to stuff like that have a habbit of getting smarter.

I think something needs to be done about the trip exp pot thing, that's kind of lame. But it can also back fire for them, just pop a smoke bomb or break LOS when you see them start to go off, the thrower will get hit pretty hard.

I do think it should remain that you can time the exp and throw them on the run for hits.

So your telling me maka is throwing 3 pots within 1.5 seconds and they all explode on contact is just good timeing? oh and all the while he is running and shotting moving shots with his 60 SSI Archer. TBF he kills him slef quite a bit with it, once the target goes out of line of sight or smoke bombs, his 3 pots go off in his back pack and he dies.

Now if you know Makaveli like i know Makaveli, you would not even question how its done. :thumbup:
I agree, it's manually not possible. Got to use UOA (or a script). But I think that's what the poster meant - timing of the delays in the UOA macro.



<---snipped 3 pot macro--->
And this dosnt work, try it for your self:
Not sure if you played during the non stackable potion days, but it doesn't work properly with stacked potions change. To use that macro, you have to unstack all the potions in main pack/bag 1/bag 2.

Yes, it does still work.

Yup, all of the above work. I didn't think of one where you run into a group of other people one, good one, that's gonna cause some mayhem!

Breaking LOS will cause the macro to backfire. Thrower will not have enough time to retarget.
