Thread: The How to open and mount your vehicle/pet with one button Macro

I noticed that there were quite a few people wondering how to generate a vehicle and mount it with a macro.


Well the answer has come,


1.Open your datapad and drag your speederbike, or whatever you want to generate, to one of you F-keys.

2. The computer reads the F-keys starting from 00, thus meaning the F1 key is equal to 00 and the F2 key is equal to01 and so on, with this in mind we can start the maco.


/ui action toolbarSlot00; (Use Slot00 if what you are generating is in the F1 key)

/pause 1;

/mount speederbike;


How to dimount and store you speederbike/pet:


/dismount;

/pause 1;

/ui action toolbarSlot00;


Now wasn't that easy?


P.S. You may need to up the pause to counter for lag.

This probably works for vehicles, but pets (including mounts) cannot currently be called from the toolbar. Activating something in a toolbar slot invokes its default action (i.e. "#1" on the radial menu). That's "Generate" for vehicles, but it's "Examine" for creature and droid pets.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I personally do not own a mountable pet, I just assumed that it would be the same as generating a vehicle. Guess I was wrong.

I havn't tried with an ATST, because I am a rebel. But if you can call it from a function key, you should be able to use the macro I set for it. If that doesn't work then it probably won't work at all. Sorry

A few thoughts:


1) AT-STs can be called from a toolbar.

2) Mountable pets can not be called from a toolbar.

3) For the person this macro did not work for, make sure the /mount line has exactly the name of your vehicle in it. These are different sometimes depending ont eh vehicle.

4) Even if this macro does work, you may have problems if there are other vehicles with the same name in your general vicinity as there maybe some confusion about shich to try to mount, and if it (the system) chooses another that you do not have rights to, it will not work.


Hope that helps a bit.

Also the pause probaly needs to be upped for the 15 second delay for calling vehicles outside a city.
