Ok here is the question. I have my Pistol in F6 and I would like to make a Macro that does the following:

/prone; /(Select F6 from Toolbar);/attack

My problem is that I don't know how to select F6 from the toolbar using a Macro....can someone help me out please?

Thanks much in advance

Sure, the item that is F6 will have a command. So if F6 was aim then your macro would be /prone; /aim; /attack. Don't know of any other way to do it if that doesn't help.

Actually in my case Item F6 is a Pistol or Carbine. I would like the macro to automatically select my Pistol or Carbine before attacking. This way I can just press my macro and I will go prone, select my weapon and then attack.

Ok not a combat macro but im looking for the macro formula to survey while im away from computer until i get a harvester.

Anyone have some good Combat Macros I'm looking for some for Carbine weapon.1 that you would be Great for soloing and 1 that would be great for groups. ( wouldn'twant a macro with threatining shot in a goup full of Brawlers ) plz post any combat macros and any tips on combat >

BUMP

I use macros to swap weapons.

I put them in the last slots on the last toolbar pane.

The "toolBarPanes" are the whole groups of buttons(there are six of these,) and are numbered 00-05, not 01-06. so the first set is 00.

The individual F-keys(and the shift-F-keys, are called "toolBarSlot" these are numbered 00-23 so for example "F6" would be : toolbarslot05

To access these "toolBar" commands you have to use the /ui action command first.

So first i change my toolPane to the last set(ctrl-F5), and drag my pistol into the very last slot.

I also put all my pistol combat hotkey commands in the second toolPane, (01)

then i write the macrokeep in mind these ui commands are case sensitive

titleistol

pick an icon

then the text:

/ui action toolBarPane05;

/ui action toolBarSlot23;

/ui action toolBarPane01;

/tell <yourownname>pistol

this step by step does:

1 switches to the last group of hotkeys

2 calls the last button(shift F12)

3 changes your tool bar to the 2nd set which i have my pistol commands on(and my mask scent and stuff too.

the last line (using your char name) sends you a tell stating which weapon you selected(i use similar commands for carbine and rifle,)to avoid confusion.just be careful that you don't use this macro accidentally while you have that pistol already equipped as calling the hotkey will unequip it.

I hotkey the macros for the other weapons on my pistol command bar so i can change weapons on the fly with 1 touch. hope this helps someone

Some macro guides:

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/ubbnew/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=13;t=002085
http://reavus.ca/guides/macros.php

And most major swg sites have guides on macros (alla's, insomniax, warcry, swgcraft, etc.)

the macro commands are case sensative ... the correct commands are

/ui action toolbarSlotXX

and

/ui action toolbarPaneXX

so if you wanted to make a macro to put on your armor wen it gets tough and take it off when you wern't in danger (antime you are beeing attacked only ... if a pet is tanking just go a head and take it off,you can set a macro that changes panes so you dont have to have your armor in the 00 pane and can have it elcewhere, lets say you ahve a full 7 peice set of armor and you wanted to put it in the first 7 fkeys on the 6th pane

/ui action toolbarPane05

/ui action toolbarSlot00

/ui action toolbarSlot02

/ui action toolbarSlot02

/ui action toolbarSlot03

/ui action toolbarSlot04

/ui action toolbarSlot05

/ui action toolbarSlot06

/ui action toolbarPane00

and thats the macro

this will put armor on and off in like .5 seconts so you dont have to wear it everywhere it should also help you understand the basics of the tool bar ... make sure that you extend it btw you cna drag it down to get more so that you can hit shift and a F# and get another command... thats how they get the 12-23 on the tool bar slots.

I'm am a 2-4-4-4 Smuggler, and am looking for a decent combat macro for both PVP and PVE using the Smuggler Skills. Can anyone help?

Use in macro to see how you like it.

So did you not see the same topic posted 7 threads down from this one? Or did you just choose to ignore it?

Anyway...

Combat macros are useless with our lack of accuracy. You're better off hot keying everything and putting it in que manually. That way, if something misses...like Panic Shot, you can immediately que it again.

If you want to take your chances macroing...go for it...but, I've had some instances where I've had 8-10 shots in a row that were dodged, countered, or out right missed on some MOBs. Macroing just isn't worth the risk.

Everyone in entitled to their own opinion. Like I had mentioned "see how you like it". If he did not read the post below its an honest mistake anyone can make.
