What is the command to make a macro go past 5 lines...no matter how many I put in, for example:

/flourish 2

/flourish 3

ect, up to 10-12 lines, my character only seems to do the first five and then stop...is 5 lines the limit, or is there a way to add more with other commands? Any help or direction to a site with macro information appreciated...

Thanks much,

You may have only a certain number of lines in your macro but you can take full advantage of all the space in each line by using a semi-colon to tell the program where a new command begins. For example -

/flourish 1; /flourish 2 ; /flourish 3/ flourish 4

That can all be in the same line becasue the semi-colo tells the game there are 4 commands being given there.

Hope this helps.

That's what I get for typing to fast

THe line would be

/flourish 1; /flourish 2 ; /flourish 3; /flourish 4

Note: Although that works for musicians... for dancers you do need to put pauses in there. So depending on the dance you are performing and the effect you want to achieve (seamless or not) you would do someting like:

/flo 1; /pause 5; /flo 2; /pause 5; /flo 3; /pause 5; /flo 1; /pause 5;

Also note you can make use of /changedance <dancename> and /startdance <dancename> in your routine to put a whole thing together. Have fun with it.

I recently discovered that while playing as a musician, flourishes can be stored in what is best referred to as a que.Up to 5 flourishes can be stored in that que at a time, no more than that. Once one of the flourishes have been completed, another one can be added to the que.

When you put flourishes into a macro, you can put quite a few more than just 5 IF you put some pauses in there to allow some of the flourishes to finish. I noticed that a few people put 5 second pauses between flourishes and this helps a lot with reducing stamina loss as well (not much, but any little bit helps).

If you notice that some of the flourishes are longer than others while some are much shorter. This allows a little bit of time between smoe of the flourishes to rest a little bit and allow that stamina to creep up a few pixels before going on to the next one.

I was able to make a macro that lasts about 5 min or so doing this.

Looking to see if there's a way to make a macro that fires hotkeys. I've read the manual but I can't seem to figure it out.

I'm trying to make a combat macro that lets me take two headshots, warningshot, chuck two traps, threatenshot, two more traps, back to headshots. I can get the shots and kneels to work NP it's the blasted trap chucking that's causing me headaches.

Also does anyone know if there's a command to disband your camp? I have a heck of a time finding that little data pad at times particularly in areas with lots of flora.

Thanks in advance.

well..you can make an alias..

/alias Combat /headshot;/headshot;/warning shot...etc

Now..you would have to know if there is a slash command for traps to add traps into the mix. You CANNOT make a macro that hits the number 4 hotbar key as far as I know.

Hello,

Not at the game nor do I have the book in front of me so don't recall all the commands you need but here is the jest.

Open up the macro window and select new macro. Choose a icon for it then below you will enter in your macro. You can also open up a window with all your skills and click on them as needed to get the specific commands. I do a few myself. I like to go prone do two head shots then pop up to a kneeling position and attack if still needed.

/prone;/pause 5;/headshot2;/headshot2;/pause 5;/kneeling

Verify the actual commands for the prone and kneeling but the headshot and pause is correct. Once your done you can drag that straight to your tool bar up top.

My question in the macros is how do I use F keys in it. I have my rifle setup on Shift F6 and my pistol setup on Shift F7 and I would love to hit one key to disarm my rifle and arm my pistol.

try this...

I have not tried this, just found it at work, but would seem to work nicely

Is there any way to set up a macro to drop a camp for you... Because then you could do some afk survival exp grinding... that is by far the most boring exp to get in the game

can you macro weapon changes?

thanks.

you can drag the weapon from your inventory to the hotbar, then hit the corresponding key and it equips/unequips.

thanks dude but i knew that already.

my question was to creat a macro like this:

Bleed shot/health shot/carbine/underhand shot...etc...

something like that.

is it possible?

thanks.
