Thread: all SL are sl/CH/pistoleer and what bout macros
seems like all squad leaders are SL/CH/Pistoleer
well im going to master SL, master pistoleer, and get as much CH as possible.
another thing, i know i sound newbie in asking this, but this whole thing with macros confuses me? i really would appreciate someone explaining to me the way this works, and i thought macros were banned?
I am SL / TKA
...(with a dash of Novice Pistoleer on the side.)
Master SL
Ranger frontier 4 and 2 on wayfaring and hunting
Almost master Pistoleer
Squad Leader 1/1/0/2
Commando 0/0/2/0
Pistoleer 0/0/1/0 <- Disarming shot what a waste, but mostly for the defenses.
Medic 4/1/2/0
I don't like CH i prefer to command real people ![]()
I had CH for a bit just because it said i qualified, but since have given it up to free up pts.
I haven't been xping much in pistoleer lately because i can get a lot more a lot quicker with the FT. It's funny killing worrt with the Launcher pistol will give me like 141 Heavy weapons and only like 68 pistol if I use my FWG. Likewise my squad experience depends on my contribution to the kill.
that macro stuff is really really really confusing, im gonna worko n it a lot tonight to understand it
thanks man, oh yah, would it be possible to make a combo of attacks in a macro?
when you reach Novice SL you get the ever improtaint /sysgroup ability and alot of SL hav been discussing the macros they make that use this comand.
if you hit ctrl A you get the menue of all the hot key buttons you have avalible for your character, if you press the 'macro' tab at the top it allows you to make your own macro hotkeys that you can add to your tool bar. i havent had a lot of time to play around with macros myself but one that ive been meaning to program, that someone else thought up,is a 'Crowd Control' macro using warning shot, this is what the code for the macro would look like:
/warningshot;
/pause 1; (or .75 if you have a very fast weapon)
/peace;
this will hopfuly scare away a creture and keep it away if no one else shoots at it. you could also add a "/sys now Firing Warning Shoots on %TT everyone direct your fire to a new target." to the begining of the macro if you feel the need to.
Note: when ever you see a %TT in a macro that is replaced with the name of what ever it is you're targeting
you can make /sys macros for just about anything but right now i prefer making alias comands which are a bit more complcated then macros but can be very usful if you can get them right.
my favoret aliases are
/rr = /sys \#FF0000\
/bb = /sys \#0000FF\
these make it so when ever i type in: "/rr <message>" the <message> is in red text. to make your own aliases you type in:
/alias nameOfAlias AliasCode
so for the /rr example you would enter in:
/alias rr /sys \#FF0000\
and now ever type i type "/rr this is a test message" the alias will produce the following system message to the group:
Your Squad leader Says: this is a test message
i also use an alias for comanding my prob driod to attack:
/alias aa /yell For Justice!!!; /pause 2; /attack %TT;
and now all i have to do is type: "/aa" and my driod attack after hearing me yell For justice and then after im sure that the enemy is attack my driod i start attacking. form a Role playing aspect i feel that this is much better then programing a pet to attack on one letter like a lot of people do with there pets.
hope this helps
