little help

/timed (instead of /pause which just doesn't work with /mutliline)

Corrected, thx Alulien

[Alulien]

/pause works just fine when you're not doing a /mutliline, however, I feel it's best to always use /timed. Why? /pause says that the macro will pause (or wait) X many seconds until moving on whereas /timed says that the applicable line will fire X many seconds AFTER the macro is hit. /timed allows you to hit multiple macros back to back and send commands, /pause will actually give you a "You cannot do that at this time" or similar message as your char is waiting for the pause from the first macro to expire. The real issue arises when you have simple, single line in-game macros and start to move to more complex /multilines - they conflict each other in their function AND the timings must be calculated totally differently.

Not sure what I did wrong but I pasted the heal macro into my hotkey changed it to the name etc didn't work

[conradd]

Can you copy and paste your macro here so we can take a look ?

[browning323]

At work right now I can later it was the target healing macro I asked for on the 1st page Tryed all of em. One for spell rotation didn't work neither

[Alulien]

There's a 255 (iirc) character limit in the in-game macros. Perhaps you're bumping into this limitation?

[browning323]

No I don't think so one of em gave me a error said invalid command try/ help other just didn't do anything mg lol I I'll gladly give the acct info if anyone feels friendly enough to set macros up for me hell I'll even pay for PayPal I just started so I'm not worried about tht. Acct lol I'm not to bright with this stuff lol

[Alulien]

Everything is tied to your .ini files - if someone logged in and set things up for you you wouldn't see any of it when you log in later. I don't know if you'll have much luck with getting someone to do it for you, but as Conradd said: if something popped up here that needed debugging...

[browning323]

I'll check it out when I get home an post it if I can figure it out

Hail All!

Ok, well, I'm moving into my next phase of total craziness.... or, I'm just trying to tell my other toons to target me.

Currently I use the less-than-sexy /target enrikk in a hotkey, so I might use a /bca //target enrikk or some such. It's functional, easy, and has worked forever.

YET, when there's a pesky corpse just laying their rotting with the same name as I, it doesn't always work. So, I want to move into the VERY sexy /target ${Me.ID} command, or some such, but I can't seem to get it to work.

I'd love to be able to send the command to an EQBC channel, as in /bct heals //target ${Me.ID}, as a precursor to sending heal commands.

Any ideas? I'm sure there's a single item or two that I'm off on, but I haven't found in in my reading.

Thanks in advance!
