I have a cool /areatrack macro for RPing with neat emotes and animations, but everytime I use it, I still have to choose the target...Animal, People, or Players.This totally detracks from the RPing fun cause the time ittakes to choosemesses up the timing of the macro. Anyone know a way make the macro pick a certain choice from the menu?

I don't believe it is macroable...there is no command that bypasses the menu selection. We are hoping to have that remedied someday.

This is horrible! I return to find my new title on the forum is "Jedi". What's up with that? If they wanted to confer that I'm rare and learned, they'd make my title RANGER. and then make it camo colored.

well i used to have a macro for dancing when i was new and still had enough Skill points to carry dancer to handle my own BF back when there were no dancers anywhere...like last july...anyway...it was /start dance basic ...and it worked. i would start dancing basic....i don't know why this can't or won't work for like /areatrack people...

If not then it is a total waste of a cool RP macro ...dang

This only works if you want to track ANIMALS, but here is what I use...


/dismount; /pause 3; /areatrack; /pause 1; /ui action defaultButton


Basically, it automatically selects "animal" as your tracking interest, which, since I spend most of my tracking time on animals, works good for me. You will still see the animal/people/players box pop up for a split second, but the macro will automatically select animals for you, so you only have one button to hit to get to the results list.


I have tried various replacements for /ui action defaultButton, to try to find a way to select the other options (people, pleayers), but have had no success. I'm sure if there is a defaultButton argument, then there is another for non-default options, I just can't figure it out.


I hope this suites your needs.
