is there a command that will target a monster randomly on the screen to cast a spell on. im lumber jacking and tree ents spawn every once in awhile and i want to cast a spell on them to get them to attack me right away.

something like this

UO.Exec("cast 'Magic Arrow' ????")

or just attack a monster somehow would work

If you know the type of the ants it is no problem.

Code: Select all

uo.findtype( 'type_here', '-1', 'ground' )
    if uo.findcount() then
      uo.warmode(1)
      uo.attack('finditem')
   endif

is there no way to target it with a spell? im running a lumber jacking srcipt and i want the ent to attack ME and it has a slow agro so i figure the best way would be to hit it with a spell like magic arrow. i tried the one you gave me but sometimes it moves out of the line of site so it ends up not attacking me and my script just sits there waiting for the next commands to set it off wich is the death of the ent.

it sorta works...when the ent appears it casts the spell and all but it does it over and over and doesnt stop, and it does it so fast that it fizzles before the spell could get off. i just want to do it once the ent will attack me then just melee it do death

It will now wait till the ent is dead. You can also insert some healing functions.

Code: Select all

uo.findtype( 'type_here', '-1', 'ground' ) 
    if uo.findcount() then 
      uo.warmode(1) 
      uo.cast('Magic Arrow', 'finditem') 
        repeat
           wait(500)
       until uo.dead('finditem')
    endif
