Macros...

[Anonymous]

Some people have been asking me in game about how to use the macros so I thought I would just post it up here for all to see.

First, lets define a macro:

mac·ro

n. Computer Science pl. mac·ros

   1. A single, user-defined command that is part of an application and executes a series of commands.

Second, lets see how they work within the matrix:

/macro S /shout

With the command above, that will give you a macro that will show up in your hotbar with the letter S on it. When you click this button it will be like a shortcut for the shout emote. So understand that the first thing you put is /macro, then you have to have up to 2 letters to name the macro, then you put in the command you want.

Thirdly, my macros:

More specifically, people have been asking how do I do my macros where I change my clothing and then do some sort of pose. I will show you. First what I do is put all the clothing I want to wear in a empty hotbar (I usually use hotbar 10) and use the first 5 for my Furious Angel outfit and the other 5 for my combat suit. So here is how I have it set up:

/macro FA /use 1 10;/use 2 10;/use 3 10;/use 4 10;/use 5 10;/khan

/macro CB /use 6 10;/use 710;/use 8 10;/use 9 10;/use 10 10;/kungfupower3

Basically those macros will allow me to change clothing quickly and then do some kind of pose at the end. You can use the macros to do a whole bunch of stuff but I haven't gone too deep into it yet. If you want to put multiple commands into 1 macro, use a semicolon ( ; ) to seperate the commands.

Hope this helps.

Awesome, man.  I haven't been taking advantage of it until now, but I think I will.

there of course are always other ways to macro, i use to use ghost mouse back in the day when clicking and "grinding" was the way to do it, easy program and got the job done.
