Thread: Tuesday Tips – September 7th: Sharing Waypoints

prospective customer, visit a Droid Engineer and check into getting yourself a merchant module!T
Hi,
it is quite useless to just buy a merchant module. First, that module does not exist. The Advertisement Barking Module, which would describe it better, can only be used by a Droid Engineer to craft it into a Droid. It cant be used by any player, you need some Merchant Skills (guess which, advertising) to use that Feature of the Droid.
If the Merchant Skilltree would not be scrambled due to P10 you probably would have seen that :-)

Sharing Waypoints
Waypoints are useful for finding POI’s, marking favorite locations or even your own structures and equipment, but have you ever wanted to get a friend to meet you at your house?Have you ever needed to tell a possible customer where your main shop is?How about tried to plan a raid and invite someone new to come join you?Well there are a few ways you can share waypoints:
Slash Command
If you’re chatting with someone and you want to meet someplace, you can instantly create a waypoint by using the slash command.Simply type:
/waypoint x y
(X is the first number on your radar to the left and y is to the right.)
You can also use the in-game email system to share one or more locations.This is handy for telling customers where your new store is, planning raids and other group activities.You can do this by:
1. Create a new waypoint in your datapad.
2. Pull up your mail window (CTRL-E) and open up a new mail message.
3. Click and drag the waypoint into the mail window and drop it in the little box in the lower right titled, “Attachments”.
Option: If you want to share the waypoint with lots of friends, you can send the mail to a few friends by separating each name with a semicolon, like this: JustG, Keldarin; GarVa;
4. Click send and you’re done.

Sorry to quote the whole post, but MS-Word HTML is HIDEOUS. Don't waste your money on a merchant module, since they only last for the 30 minutes or so that the droid has power.
Why not adding news ways of using it?
/waypoint : creates a waypoint at current location or the waypoint of targeted stuff
/waypoint x y : creates a waypoint to specified location
new uses that would be cool !
/waypoint blabla : creats a waypoint at current location or the waypoint of targeted stuff with mentionned name : blabla
/waypoint x y blabla : creates a waypoint to specified location with mentionned name blabla
So that you can create your waypoint and set a name without getting in the datapad or map to set the waypoint you wanted to set.....
See what i mean?

You can sell them on a vendor.
Don't ask me why.
BTW, you can sell schematics too.

Multiple waypoints in the same mail is bugged. If you try to send more than one waypoint in a mail, only the first waypoint the receiver "saves to datapad" will work... the other one will not work. It would be nice if you guys would fix this.
thanks
My guild uses multiple WPs daily, it you try to save one at a time you get the error, but if you save all it works fine.
