I have been trying for several weeks to create a macro that will allow me to equip a ranged weapon, fire it 5-10 times, unequip the weapon, then equipment a different weapon. I would like to be able to do this like 5-6 times with different weapons during combat. I understand there is a weapon equip delay during combat. I have tried writing different macro scrips. I haven't been able to make it anything work correctly. I am hoping to find someone out there that is already doing this same exact thing or someone that can give me some macro love!

What problem are you having? You would need to put each weapon you want to switch to in your toolbar, and access them via /ui action toolbarSlotXX. Afterwards you can spam your specials and move to the next weapon.

What is happening when I do this is sometimes I get the message "this slot is already occupied" Another problem I am having is it might switch to a slot with a pistol in it. Then it won't shoot. Then it switches to the next weapon. So iI am getting some skips in bewteen the wepon switching. I have tried these two types of macros already:


/attack;

/pause 25;

/ui action toolbarSlotXX;

/attack;

/pause25;

/ui action toolbarSlotXX;


or


/attack;

/attack;

/attack;

/pause 5;

/ui action toolbarSlotXX;

/attack;

/attack;

/attack;

/ui action toolbarSlotXX;


or


/health shot 2;

/health shot 2;

/health shot 2;

/ui action toolbarSlotXX;

/health Shot 2;

/health Shot2;

/health Shot2;

/ui action toolbarSlotXX;




neither one of these seems to consistently work.

The macro to equip an item is:


/ui action toolbarSlotXX (it is VERY IMPORTANT that this is EXACTLY what you enter)


XX is a number between 00 and 23. 00 is the F1 button, 01 is F2, etc...


So, let's say you're grinding marksman and want to keep cycling through weapons


Put a rifle in F1, a carbine in F2, and a pistol in F3.


Name the macro "whatevernameyouwillremember"


/ui action toolbarSlot00;

/attack;

/pause (seconds);

/ui action toolbarSlot01;

/attack;

/pause (seconds);

/ui action toolbarSlot02;

/pause (seconds);

/whatevernameyouwillremember


Set it off by typing /whatevernameyouwillremember


Stop it by typing /cancel


The # of seconds formula is this:


seconds = #shots desired*(weaponspeed*(100-your speed modifier))/100


For example, you want to shoot 5 times. Your pistol has a speed of 3, and you have Pistol Speed +10.


5 shots = (3*(100-10))/100 seconds

5 shots = 27 seconds


Hope that helps...

Actually, the command to loop it would be: /macro whatevernameyouwillremember

and to end it, you would use: /dump

I think your problem might be is that you have an attack command right after you switch weapons. You aren't factoring in the weapons delay. It shoudl be.


/ui action toolbarSlot00;

/pause 5;

/attack;

My thoughts exactly.


I think you need to put a pause after switching weapons.



Also, to the original poster: /attack; /attack; /attack is the same thing as like /sit; /sit; /sit.


You only need to put /attack once in your macro to have your character start shooting non-special attacks. Just put a /pause after the first /attack and you will be ok.


Special attacks are a different story. /bodyshot2 will only shoot once, then afterwards, you start shooting non-specials.


Personally, I would advise you to set up different macros for different weapons. It will take up more slots on your toolbar, but you can customize your attacks depending on your opponent.A quick CTRL+TAB should be easy enough to press while you're shooting anyway.


Example:


macro 1 = switch toSTUN damage pistol and shoot bodyshot1 and 2.


macro2 = switch toHEAT damage pistol and shoot bodyshot1 and 2.


macro3 = switch toENERGY damage carbine and shoot actionshot1 and 2.


macro4 = switch toBLAST damage rifle and shoot mindshot1 and 2.
