create a tellpet macro
bind the macro to keys on the keymap...

never fails. no wasted toolbar slots.





I tried that, but it wouldn't stick.

Personally I have all my /tellpet training commands bound to a toolbar set and I also use this when hunting with my pets (unless it's pets with name-customized commands). I have an everyday use toolbar with my weapon specials, maskscent, sampling and taming macros and stances; a toolbar reserved for crafting/spamming macros; my training commands toolbar and one reserved for sampling/surveying (redundant now I've had to drop novice artisan). Since I have plenty of toolbar space left, I will probably make a Weapon specials/pet command toolbar set when I get round to it. Don't forget, each toolbar can be expanded to 24 boxes, giving you 144 shortcut commands in total. Plenty.

Sorry guys but you'll have to live with me spamming the odd a,f and shere and there. I'm comfortable with the way I have thing set up and i'm not going to change it.


You know, this is the first time anyone's actually commented on it anyway (as far as i could tell from searching the boards). It may be that this only annoys a small minority of people in which case that's your problem. The game is set up to allow us to use the spacial so I take advantage of it.


Sheesh, can't you guys complain about anything puposeful?

I had put it in the original post because in the early days of CH many people complained about our Vocal Commands ( Reason the /tellpet was implemented ). I had also given a macro that I though would be helpful so that newer CH'ers could use to get more resources off their kills and stillstay grouped with there beloved pets. It seems that has gone pretty much unnoticed asmany have focused on the pet commands. Oh well.
