Thread: Macro?
All the info you need is in there.
No such thing but if you are that lazy dont be a crafter.
(comment not ment to be rude)
I would assume you kow how to get to the screen to write one, if not, in game Crl A, Macro on the tool bar, and then edit tool bar.
The top blank is to name your macro and then the symbols are for you to give a symbol for you macro, pick on ie doesn't really matter....
Now in the big open area at the bottom write:
/stardance basic;
/pause 10;
/flourish1;
/pause 10;
/flourish2;
/pause 10;
/flourish3;
/pause 10;
/flourish4;
/pause 10;
/flourish5;
/pause 10;
/flourish6;
/pause 10;
/flourish7;
/pause 10;
/flourish8;
/healdamage self;(if you have any medic abilities and Stimpacks)
/join;
/ui action toolbarSlot00; (put this in your very first slot of your tool bar... This makes the marco run continuesly so you do not have to worry about restarting it)
Thats the one I use that works well IMO. It will run all your flourishes and give you xp a flourish... There is a 10 Second pause b/w your flourishes as well....
Any other questions?
/ui action toolbarSlot00 is the command to get the macro that you have just made to loop or repeat. Essentially this command "pushes" a button that is on your quickbar on top (i.e. f1-f12). Here are a few tips:
- follow the syntax exactly of /ui action toolbarSlot00 This includes capitalization of "Slot" and no space between slot and the number
- The number "00" is where you put your macro button that you've just created (that ends with /ui action toolbarSlot00). So if you put your macro button into F1 on your overhead bar, then your number is 00. If f2 then the number is 01. If you use a "second row" (i.e. shift f1-shift f12) on your overhead toolbar, then shift-f1 is /ui action toolbarSlot12, and shift-f2 is /ui action toolbarSlot13 and so on. Wherever you put your macro button is fine, as long as you remember to use the correct toolbarSlot number if you ever move it.
- Do not flip to the next page of commands - you have 6 toolbars. If you're on the next toolbar, your /ui command will push "f1" but the "f1" command on the next toolbar will be different. It may be prone, or burstrun - you don't want that. Don't switch toolbars once you have your macro running.
Hope that clears up any confusion.
I usually am atk but I'm so uncoordinated that I have to use macros to keep my flourishes up or 1) I'll forget to flourish and 2) I'll forget which flourishes I hate. I have a few macros.
- a basic atk flourish routine for each dance that loops (flourish not particularly often, designed for if no healer is there)
- a basic set of effects that loops (slow)
- a "buffer" flourish routine (i.e. flourishes more often)
- a "buffer" set of effects (burn for medic xp, or for buffs)
- a "reset" button... basically it's a /pause 300; /startdance x; loop. This will get me going again if I get a late heal while I'm afk cleaning the catbox. Ok, yes, we all go afk from time to time.
Then I can mix-and-match the effects. For example, I can use any dance routine with or without light effects, slow or fast, depending on what is needed at the time. I can turn on the "reset" button when I'm going to be absent for a few minutes and then /dump it when I get back. I find this the simplest (idiot proof) system for me, but really, you should use whatever works for you intuitively whether it's the complicated system Tiaga suggested (read that post numerous times, can't wrap my brain around it) or another way.
