I have a macro i use to switch between my combat armor, regular clothing and ubese armor. Pretty simple


1) Load all your armor pieces into each tool bar slot from F1 to F(whatever). Reserve F10 and F11, F12.


2) Create a macro as so....


/ui action toolbarSlot00
/ui action toolbarSlot01
/ui action toolbarSlot02
/ui action toolbarSlot03
/ui action toolbarSlot04
/ui action toolbarSlot05
/ui action toolbarSlot06
/ui action toolbarSlot07
/ui action toolbarSlot08


3) Place this macro into F12 and hit it when you want to put armor on.


To go a bit advanced you can go a few steps further.


4) Open your F13 to F24 tool bars. Place your clothes into the F13 through the F(whatever) key.


5) Create this macro:


/ui action toolbarSlot12
/ui action toolbarSlot13
/ui action toolbarSlot14
/ui action toolbarSlot15
/ui action toolbarSlot16
/ui action toolbarSlot17


6) Place this macro into F11 key.


What this does is when you hit the F11 key your clothes come off. Hit the F12 key and your armor comes on.
When your done with your armor, hit the F12 key and armor comes off and hit F11 key and your regular clothes come
back on. Simple. All clothing/armor comes on at once and this macro will always work long as you have the pieces
in your inventory.

Np at all, icame up with this macro because it allows me to go into my PvP armor in a flash, then when it's over i just hit the macro again, armor comes off and hit my clothes macro. It also leaves space for customization for other items besides armor.

Just a slight modification on that macro and you will be set. Only thing I see that could be better is if the armor was on another page all together. I know myself that I wish I coudl have more room than just 24 slots so why waste 9 of them with armor?


Same macro as before but this time you place your armor on the second page slots 00 through 08


/ui action toolbarPane01


/ui action toolbarSlot00 Helmet
/ui action toolbarSlot01Chest
/ui action toolbarSlot02 Legs
/ui action toolbarSlot03 Boots
/ui action toolbarSlot04 Left Shoulder
/ui action toolbarSlot05 Right Shoulder
/ui action toolbarSlot06 Left Bracer
/ui action toolbarSlot07 Right Bracer
/ui action toolbarSlot08 Gloves


/ui action toolbarPane00


Notice I added the toolbarPane commands before and after the original macro. These are simply used to change the pane for you, equip the armor, then switch back to your combat page. Also I place the most essential (to me that is) pieces of armor first so they will be equiped first... just in case I do not have enough secondary stats to place my whole suit on I will be protected where it really counts first.


To unequip your armor you will use a similar macro.


/ui action toolbarPane01


/ui action toolbarSlot12 Hat or Same helmet
/ui action toolbarSlot13 Jacket
/ui action toolbarSlot14 Pants
/ui action toolbarSlot15 Shoes
/ui action toolbarSlot16
/ui action toolbarSlot17
/ui action toolbarSlot18
/ui action toolbarSlot19
/ui action toolbarSlot20 Gloves


/ui action toolbarPane00


Notice that I did not use all the slots? Well that is due to the fact that the jacket in slot 13 will actually unequip several of the pieces. So I would actually take the slot 16 thru slot 19 commands out if I was set up like this all the time. But I change clothes in and out all the time so I just leave it like this so I do not have to re-write my macro all the time. Also notice that I have the same body part items directly below the armor piece, this makes it easy for me to see why my armor macro isn't working right.


One last thing that you might want to do if you get a problem with a few commands dropping off due to either server lag or some other issue. I placed a short pause in the middle of the macro to prevent this. I hardly ever experience lag, but you never know.


/ui action toolbarSlot00
/ui action toolbarSlot01
/ui action toolbarSlot02
/ui action toolbarSlot03
/ui action toolbarSlot04

/pause .2
/ui action toolbarSlot05
/ui action toolbarSlot06
/ui action toolbarSlot07
/ui action toolbarSlot08


Even a short pause of .2 seconds will ensure that lag or something that you cannot plan for will prevent you from equiping your armor all the time. To wrap this up simply find two slots on your main combat page and place these two new macros and you are ready for combat.


Hope this helped.

I have another addition. If you have several sets of armor, put them in separate toolbars and write a separate macro for them. If you don't want all of your armor to take up your inventory, store them in droids and run your armor macro twice. Once to pull it out of the droid and once again to equip it. The droid doesn't have to be called to pull the armor out, you just need to have space in your inventory.
