    [Suggestion] "/hotbar set" functionality.

    So, I was playing around with macros, and I wanted to devise something like a rotational macro so I could stack Bio, Bio II, and Miasma in the same button to press, though you would need to press multiple times (that's not my issue).

    It works with abilities like this
    /ac "Foresight" <me>
    /ac "Bloodbath" <me>

    The first use will execute foresight. The second, because foresight is on cooldown, will execute bloodbath.

    This does not work with "zero cooldown" gcd abilities or spells because as soon as one is available, all are available.

    My idea was this

    Code:
    mBio
    /macroicon "Bio"
    /ac "Bio" <tt>
    /ac "Bio" <t>
    /wait 1
    /crosshotbar set "mBio2" LDR
    
    mBio2
    /macroicon "Bio II"
    /ac "Bio II" <tt>
    /ac "Bio II" <t>
    /wait 1
    /crosshotbar set "mMiasma" LDR
    
    mMiasma
    /macroicon "Miasma"
    /ac "Miasma" <tt>
    /ac "Miasma" <t>
    /wait 1
    /crosshotbar set "mBio" LDR
    Although my syntax is correct, this won't work because you can't use custom macros in a /crosshotbar set setup. In other words, my first macro could reference "Bio II" rather than "mbio2" and it would make that switch, but then Bio II button press has no way to switch to Miasma, or handle target-targeting.

    TL;DR: In the /hotbar and /crosshotbar commands, can we be permitted to use macro names in the place of Action names?

    Shield Lob (Can change red text to Tomahawk and it will work perfectly Warriors)
    /macroicon "Shield Lob"
    /ac "Shield Lob" <t>
    /marking attack1 <t>

    Better "macro switching", give it a read: http://tinyurl.com/ffxivhotbars
