Thread: Veteran Docs please help!!!
Hey I'd like to know the exact entry lines for a macro to use stim while in combat.You know, when you are targeting an opponent and want to heal yourself, but if you just clik on a stimpac in your toolbar it tries to heal the opponent and says error. The only way i can heal myself is by having my inventory open during battles and holding down radial menu and selecting use-item on self UGH. I need an easier way. Could any1 show me a toolbar macro steps to use stimpac on self? And maybe the macro to use stim on pet as well...
THANKS- Elliwar Straubenator
but if i do that, i cant use special attacks on the opponent, i have to reselect him which takes valuable concentration in a pvp battle
there has to be a macro! anyone?
well, you could do a macro with
/ui action targetSelf;/pause 00;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/pause 01;/ui action cycleTargetPrev;/attack;
I dont know for sure if cycleTargetPrev will target the SAME target or not, but its worth a try. Please note that case is important, and for this example, the stim will need to be in your top F1 slot (00).
Good luck. Let me know if this works for you.

lol much simpler... thanks ill just be sure to have only my good stims in inventory...
and would something like "/healdamage George" work to heal my pet if my pets name is george?
/healdamage <playername> does work. I've used it before.
Keep in mind that /healdamage will use the first stim in your inventory, not necessarily the 'best' one to use.
I have found that stims are used on a 'last created' basis. ie the last stim I pulled from a crate will get used.
I can't really use /healdamage macros as I am a Master Doc & CM and want to select carefully which stims I use in any given situation. I drag my stims to the hotkeys and use them from there.
You can target yourself with ctrl-1, or group members from ctrl-2 to crtl-0 (maybe 9?). Once you are finished with healing, you can hit the Escape key once to return your look-at target to whatever it is you are attacking.
/heal self
Simple, and works every time if you have a stim in your regular inventory.

I would have to disagree there; it seems that when I use the /healdamage command, a random stimpack is used, not the first one. I did find out, however, that it will not pull from any stimpacks in a bag; so if you want to use a specific stimpack, pull it into your main inventory and leave the rest in a backpack/bag.
