Virindi Tank Standard Options

Options tab

• Advanced options: Displays the advanced options list, allowing control of all internal macro variables.
• Run macro: Enables macro action. Since VTank is always thinking, turning it On/Off functions more like a Pause.

• Force Buff: Use this to force a rebuff, turn the macro On/Off to Pause the buffing sequence, it will resume where it left off.
• Monster range: The maximum range at which the macro will attempt to engage targets.
• Ring range: The range that ring damage is expected to carry.
• Approach range: When navigation is enabled, the macro will run towards a monster that is within approach range until it is within monster range.
• Follow/Nav min: The range from a waypoint at which the macro considers the waypoint to be reached.

• Use dispel items: Causes the macro to use Gems of Stillness and/or Condensed Dispel Potions when a level 7 vuln is present on your character.
• Cast dispel self: Causes the macro to cast Eradicate Life Magic Self when a level 7 vuln is present on your character.
• Enable buffing: Enables the buffing subsystem. When this is disabled, no self buffs will be cast.
• Enable combat: Enables macro combat. When this is disabled, the macro will not attack or debuff targets. HOWEVER, the macro will continue to heal itself, navigate, and loot.
• Auto Fellow Mgmt.: Automatically Recruits when /t XP. See Virindi Tank Fellowship Commands

• Enable Autostack: Automatically stacks stackable items in your inventory.
• Enable Autocram: Automatically moves items from your main pack to side packs.
• Rebuff when idle: Causes the macro to recast buffs that are running low early, when it is not doing anything else. This prevents buff timers from running out in the middle of combat.
• Peace mode when idle: Switches to peace mode when not attacking. Usually used to improve regeneration rates when waiting for a respawn.
• Boost loot priority: Loots corpses before attacking the next monster. Use this option when you care more about loot than kills, and you are not able to clear the spawn fast enough to finish looting everything.
• M. Charges when off: Allows Vtank to recharge Mana on items even if Vtank is Off.

Meta tab

See Virindi_Tank_Meta_System

Introduction

The Virindi Tank Meta system is a way to control what the macro is doing on a higher level than normal operations. The system allows you to implement a Finite-state machine. This machine consists of rules and states. For Meta to operate, the Enable Meta Actions checkbox on the Profiles tab must be checked.

Rules and States

A state is merely a name that you assign for some stage the macro will be in. For example, "hunting", "buying comps", or "died running back". The macro is only in one state at a time. When you first log in, it is in the "Default" state. You can manually change the current state using the dropdown box in the bottom left corner of the meta tab.

A rule consists of a state, a condition, and an action. Rules are only checked if their state is the same as the current macro state. Each rule only happens once per time the macro is in a particular state (rules that have already run are listed in red in the main list).

As the macro runs, it looks at all the rules which haven't run yet with the same state as the current state. If the condition is true, the action listed in the rule is run.

See Virindi_Tank_Meta_System

Conditions (Left Side)

• Never: Never act upon.
• Always: Always act upon.
• Any: Act upon any.
• All: Act upon all.
• Chat Message: Act upon Chat Message.
• Pack Slots <=: Act upon Pack Slots less than or equal to X.
• Seconds in State >=: Act upon Seconds in State greater than or equal to X.
• Navroute Empty: Act upon an empty Navroute.
• Character Death: Act upon Character Death.
• Any Vendor Open: Act upon Any Vendor Opened.

Actions (Right Side)

• Set Meta State: Allows you to set/change Meta state after X Action has occurred.
• Chat Command: On Action do X Chat Command. (I.e. On Character Death do Chat Command /f I have died =( )
• All: Allows multiple Reactions to Occur.

Example:

• Default, Seconds in state >=5, Set Meta State: Test
• Test, Chat: .* tells you, "001", All: Chat Command: /r Response to 001, Set Meta State: Default

(After 5 seconds it will change the Meta State to "Test" and await the /tell of "001" from anyone)
