Sturdy Pyrix and a new open with key option

[Nellaf]

Is there a way that you can add a menu after someone has viewed the contents of a chest that will let them open it with a key right there? It gets a little old to check the contents of a chest, then back out of the menu, refind the chest, and use a key then.

[Korpg]

Macro not enough for you?

[Glamdring]

think he means if you've peeked you are still in the menu, add a "open with key" option right by the Destroy option, without having to back out of the menu entirely, then retarget to pop it.

[Cair]

Agreed. 456

[Korpg]

It saves you what, 4 seconds without a macro for keys, 2 seconds with a macro for keys?

But whatever floats your boat.

[Kimble]

I dont think something like that can be done because you need to have a key to be able to key the chest. No where in the menu is there an option to key the chest.

[Glamdring]

he's asking that "open with key" be added to the menu, we know it's not there now. In addition, in a fast party you may have multiple chests, possibly occupying the same space, and retargeting the one you checked and not another one is a bit of a pain.

[Kimble]

Im saying its not there at ALL in the menu because its an action you cant do on the chest unless you have an item in your inventory.

Saying why its different then Destroy chest that IS in the menu.

[RAIST]

exactly.. they've added all the other options. Now after you peek, you pop back to a menu to allow you to attempt to open or destroy it--just need to add the option to open with a Forbidden Key and have it -1 the key from your inventory just like when you use ninjutsu it -1's a tool. Granted the coding isn't the same, and will require some extra work--but the concept is similar. This would save you from having to cancel out, hit your macro, retarget the box (and risk targetting the wrong one because you have 3 piled on top of a each other) and then popping it open.

Definitely would be nice for AoE Farming though I think this macro might help:
/target <stnpc>
/item "Forbidden Key" <lastst>

Haven't tried it yet, just thought of it now. Since we just destroy any gold box that isn't a KI we need when we get too many to manage, it hasn't been a big deal.
