i feel like such a newb having to ask the forums this but i can't seem to figure out how to set a macro to use Healthshot1 then peace so i can get carbine xp.

i checked the other posts and it seemed that all i had to was create a new macro with:

/healthshot1

/peace

tried it and it didnt work so i tried the other way i found on the boards:

/ui action toolbarSlot09; <09 being a slot with healthshot 1 in it>

/peace

didn't seem to work either, it appeared that the peace function would happen so fast that the healthshot would be cancelled out. Either ive missed something in the coding or i need to learn a function to input so /peace will wait a few seconds before activating. Any help you folks could give would be greatly appreciated =-)

You are correct in the assumption that /peace is immediate. I can que up a "bajillion" of my /flamesingle2 macros (includes /aim) then hit /peace and its automatic. The tricky thing is getting /peace to go into effect after bleeding but before you shoot again. The command for waiting is "/pause XX" where XX is the number of seconds.

For example: /healthshot2;/healthshot1;/pause 5;/peace

That macro would que up both healthshots, pause 5seconds, then /peace. You'd have to work and experiment with your particular pistol/rifle/carbine to find the right delay to put in there (I suggest something that will stick around for a while but not be too terrribly dangerous as this trial and error can take a bit of time). I did this with my unarmed macros, taking of VK's, doing specials, putting VK's back on. Another thing I found while doing this was that it seems you must have a gap of 5 seconds between taking VK's off and putting them back on-found this neat little "feature" while setting up my berserk macro.

Hope that helps you out down the road of macros. They put so much thought and design into the macro tool you have to wonder if it was supposed to be the key feature of the game.

awesome thanks a ton for the info, this should help a ton

on a side-note however...is there a listing somewhere of the different macro codes or do people just figure them out through extensive trial and error?
