Greetings all


I'm just learning how to write macros and I've got a macro set up to call my fighting pair of pets, but I was wondering if there is an easier way.


I’ve got it set up with the pets in Slot01 and 02 and the macro to click the two buttons with a required (for now! ) time delay, but I was wondering if there was a command like /Callpet (insert name here) command?


Thanks!

yes make a macro using/tellpet (then your command for follow me here) for example



/tellpet come


/tellpet heel etc


you get the picture, hope this helps

Thus sets off page after page of responses. Halfof which are honest and true: "You must download the trial and see for yourself." Some are "sky is falling" responses. One or two suspect some trolling and question how the OP is able to post here. And the remainder latch on to one of the questions and debate the topic until flying pigs return carrying the wayward cows.

There are things you may be able to do.


You can pull a pet from the datapad onto your button bar. You can also make a macro that will push the button on the buttonbar. You can also add to that macro to change the button bar to another pane where you can maybe store all of your pets. Your macro will then switch to that new pane, call your pet then switch it back to the pane you normally use.


Here's an example:


Create a macro called CallpetBOB


/pause 0.25;
/ui action toolbarPane03;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/ui action toolbarPane01;


Now.. you can assign this macro to the keyboard. It should change to toolbar #3 and click on the first slot then change back to toolbar #1.

I haven't actually tested this.. but I thought I'd try to be a bit more helpful than just saying No.

Actually from his post it appears he does this already and was just wondering if there was another way to do it.



Anakin: Master, I think my lightsaber is getting dull. Its not doing nearly as much damage as it used to.
Obi-Wan: O.k. when we're done showing the youglings around the temple, we'll stop by the bazaar and you can buy a new crystal. I hope you've got a couple million credits saved up for this.
Anakin: WHAT?!!?? I don't have THAT kind of cash!
Obi-Wan: Well you could try sharpening it on these younglings. I've got a headache and all their questions are driving me NUTS!
Anakin: hmmm.... Sharpen my lightsaber on younglings...... hmmmmmm.....
Obi-Wan: uh, that was a joke Anakin. I'll spot you the cash for a new crystal THIS time, but next time you're on your own.

Yes, Gimpynoob, that is what I was asking about. Thanks for answering!

And thanks Gotik, that is what I was doing but I hadn't thought to have my pets stored on a seperate tab!


Again, thanks all!

If you add a camp to the toolbar and macro you can significantly reduce the length of the pause between calls.
