Macros
The following commands are multiple line commands, or macros, to be used with the /hotbutton command.
| Title | Command | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Hotbutton | /hotbutton [title] | Use this command to create an empty hotbutton. Add the new button to your hotbar and right-click it to edit it again. You can have up to 5 commands in each hotbutton. |
| Pausing | /pause [tenths] | Use this command in hotbutton to pause for the given enths of a second (eg: 10 is 1 second). For example:/cast 1, /pause 20 /pause 30, /cast 2 would cast your spell in slot #1, wait 2 seconds, then cast the spell in slot #2 and wait 3 seconds. It doesn't matter if the pause comes before or after the command...it always takes affect after the command is executed. |
| Loot Macro | /target a_, /pause 1 /loot | This macro will loot most NPC corpses within range. This can be useful if the corpse is inside a wall or otherwise can't be targetted with the mouse. |
| Corpse Drag Helper | /corpse, /pause 2 /loc /corpse, /pause 2 /loc | While /corpsedrag makes this less useful this macro can still help to manually drag a corpse. The /loc is to help your determine where you lost a corpse if you get out of range. |
| Buff Macro | /rt /pause 3, /cast 2 /tt Going to blow your mind, %T! /8 Casting buff on %T /pause 3, /cast 2 | Use this macro to setup easy buffing on the last person to give you a tell. Great for raids to help others keep track of who is buffing what. The two /cast lines are to catch any fizzles on the first cast. Change the chat channel (8), spell slot (2) and messages depending on your own setup./cast 1 (1 being minor healin) |
| Spell Practice | /cast 1, /pause 25 /cast 1, /pause 25 /cast 1, /pause 25 /cast 1, /pause 25 /cast 1, /pause 25 |
Casts the spell in your first slot 5 times in a row. You may need to adjust the pause time (25) depending on which spell your casting. This is great for practicing low level spells and you can use a similar method to catch fizzles (use a lower pause). |
| Range Pulling | /pause 5,/bandolier activate pull /pause 5,/autofire on /pause5,/autofire off /bandolier activate normal /g Spring the trap! %t %o %r are our enemies! | To use this macro create a bandolier set named pull with a ranged item and a set named normal with your regular melee weapons. Target a mob to attack and use this macro to pull. |
| Bard Fade | /g Fading Memories /stopsong /attack off /alt activate 212 | A helpful macro a Bard can use to quickly fade. You can use a similar macro for many other abilities. |
| Double Assist | /target [main assist] /pause 1 /assist /pause 1 /assist | Edit the macro with the name of your main group/raid assist or simply leave it blank to use your current target. When used you do a double-assist to see who the target of your main assist is attacking. |
