Bind for targeting and lighting Oil Slick?

[SmalltalkJava]

Is there a bind for targeting and igniting Oil Slick with the Taser Dart?

If the oil slick is actually a named object in-world, then you should be able to use something like "targetcustomnext oil slick".

Dang TIL you can use the Taser Dart for this. I’ve ever only used a flaming arrow

Yep. Taser dart and one of the other ones also.  I don’t remember which one though

I'm not home so I'm going off memory, but I think I use this:

 

/bind t "+$$targetcustomnext Oil Slick$$powexecname Taser Dart"

 

That should select Oil Slick and throw Taser Dart with one button press.

Power activation via bind goes from right to left (at least from what I remember).  You'd want to target the oil slick first before setting it off so it should be:

/bind t "powexecname taser dart$$targetcustomnext oil slick"

I am not an expert at binds, but something about the + in my bind makes it work, and in only a single button press, I'm pretty sure, but I couldn't tell you why. If someone is willing to check, I'd be grateful. 😁

Hmm, adding that + actually makes multi commands easier?  I've learned something new!

[Coyote]

The + makes it activate both on button press and on button release. So I think the reason it works is this:

 

1: You fire Oil Slick, and your target is the ground.

2: You press t, and it tries to throw the dart, but it can't... then the oil slick gets targeted

3: You release t, and you have Oil Slick targeted, and it tries to throw the dart... and does.

 

So, I think it would still work more consistently (without having to worry if you are currently targeting another mob) if you both kept the + in there, AND reversed the order so that the power execution is written first, and the target command is written second.

[SmalltalkJava]

So far this seems to work, if you hold the key down for a second. It will fire taser dart when you let off the 't' key

/bind t "+targetcustomnear Oil Slick$$powexecname Taser Dart"

Wow, I totally didn't recall that.
