Is therea command to detonate a droid without using the radial? Something that I can send with /tellpet? I know there is a mamimum range of 15 meters or so, but it would be nice to to have a silent and quck macro to detonate it. It would allow me too have a timed attack planned. Let's say...tell your Bot to stay, begin attacking the Jedi, run away....run past it, or stop near it...Park your botbehind a wall or pillar so blast is in the line of sight of your mark, but would be behind your mark. Use the Macro, then BOOM!.


Maybee something that can select my bot, open the radial and select the option to detonate it. Problem with that, is I've seen the option to detonate be either option 4 or 5 depending on the situation. Any suggestions would be helpful if there is a solution to my idea.

I use /detonatedroid with the droid targeted. Works every time. There is a pretty good macro that some BH's posted on one of my threads in their forum a month or 2 back. It did everything from call it out of inventory, to target and detonate I think. I would suggest looking in there.

I thank you for your help. I'm going to experiment with some various macros with that command.

Simply.


Needs to bea Master DE to make Detonation Modules, which can then be put into any frame. The most popular are 2 Detonation Modules in an Advanced MSE Droid Frame, or 6 Detonation Modules in an Advanced R3 Frame.


As for resources, Standard DE resources, the hardest to find though is Tolium Reactive Gas which is a rare spawn, you need this to make the detonation modules themselves.


This gas has just spawned on Chimeara and run out, so not sure when we will see this again.

I used to be a BH, recently went back and I am now 3-0-3-0 BH working towards 4-0-4-0. I purchased some new bomb droids from a vendor in a create(sorry dont have stats, but they are MSE droids) and I pulled one from the crate which went to my inventory. When I try to call it, I get a message tellingme I have too many pets and must store one. I dont have any other pets out or droids and I havent figured out what im doing wrong yet or is this a bug?

sometimes the game will give you incorrect explanations for why you cannot call your pet/droid. Are you maybe inside a building that doesn't belong to you and trying to call the pet from there? Make sure you are outside. Then try to deed the droid. Do you still get the same message?

Yeah Ive tried to pull it numerous times in numerous places, mostly outdoors and I always get the same message. I believe that message you also get when you arent certified to use a pet for example a novice CH trying to pull out a level 50 kimo.

How many droids/pets/speeders do you have on your datapad?

yes you can only have a maximum of 5 droids, then again it shouldn't let you ready the droid unit if you are maxed

now that I reread his post more carefully it sounds like maybe he hasn't readied the droid yet, and that maybe the real problem here is that his data pad already has 5 droids in it.
