People tell me to make a txt file in my swg directory, but I dont know how. Can someone with spare time, explain that too me?

Also, how do you set commands for the macro for flourishs?

thanks

You don't necessarily need to use a TXT file, though some people prefer it. I personally just use the ingame macro system.

1. Create a new macro. Do this by hitting CTRL-A (for Skills & Abilities window), click the Macro tab and click "New Macro". Here you create a name, choose an icon and write the macro script.


2. Write the Script. This is in the field at the bottom of the window. Everything is done with slash (/) commands:

Macro

I typically set up a few flourishes in a row. For example, I have a macro that looks like this:

• /flourish 4;


• /flourish 2; /pause 5


• /flourish 4;


• /flourish 8;


• /flourish 7; /pause 5


• /flourish 4;

/Flourish # is numbers 1 through 8

/Pause # is in seconds. 5 equals 5 seconds to wait

The semicolon ends that command. This is important because you can set a macro to send out text in chat channels. For example, you can have macro that says "/say Hi there %NT, and welcome to the Cantina! Sit down and relax while we help you forget your troubles" (btw, %NT inserts the first name of the player you have targetted). You need a semicolon to follow that if you want to put more commands after it. Like, if you want to /wave or activate a light show you'd do it like this:

• /say Hi there %NT, and welcome to the Cantina! Sit down and relax while we help you forget your troubles; /wave;

Hope this helps.

Thank you, I shall play around with it tonight.
