Macro language

[Amaroq]

Ive been learning how to set up macros in the last few days and theres one i just cant seem to figure...any of the chat modes. I want a macro that opens up the chat channel/mode for a particular player...a friend i might talk too alot. The last ones i tried but failed were

/cm t [playersName]

/cm t playersName

/cm <t> [playersName]

/cm <t> playersName

Italic just meaning id use the players full name here. This is for a marco button, not directly entering in command line every time. Any help would be appreciated ^_^

Chatmode does not open a tell to that person, it sets a global mode, so that every time you open the chat line with the spacebar, it will be in that mode. If you type in


/cm t Xcloudsefirotx

then open your chat line with the spacebar and type a message, it will automatically send a tell to Xcloudsefirotx. If you do


/cm l

every time you type something it will immediately go to the linkshell chat, without having to press Ctrl+L or type /l in front of it.

If you want to reply quickly to someone, try pressing Ctrl+R. If you're talking to several people, pressing R repeatedly while holding Ctrl will scroll through the people who previously sent you /tells. <r> will also hold the name of the last person to send you a text, so you could as well do


/t <r> Your name sucks.

and they would get the message.

Oh wow thanks Arcon, that was a fast reply.

Ill try using the macro button for /cm t playersName and than hitting space bar. The Ctrl+R shortcut will come in very handy as well.

If you want to say something specific in a certain way, put "/t Playername Stuff" in your macro, or "/p Partystuff" if you want to say it in party chat.

Thanks Mirage...could see myself creating a macro like that in the future ^^

[Arcon]

If you want to say something specific in a certain way, put "/t Playername Stuff" in your macro, or "/p Partystuff" if you want to say it in party chat.

If he now uses /p macros for his abilities and WS I blame you.

/p Cut my life into pieces, this is my {Last Resort}.

[Mayoyama]

/p Cut my life into pieces, this is my {Last Resort}.

Please OP.. do not use /p or /s macros on ws and JA, this actually considered annoying by the majority of players.

PS A fun macro to use with friends:
/\_/\
(o . o)
(0_0)

/\_/\_/\ _/\
(o.(o . o).o)
(0 (0__0) 0)

EDIT: GD website keeps deleting extra spaces on me so the bunnies look lopsided -.-

In order to help the OP understand how macros function when completed, here's an example of an ideal Boost macro in action (you may have to view the image separately and zoom in to fully experience it):

Sadly, I had no hand in the construction of this beautiful behemoth. It was just the best result that Google provided me.

If only dragonball was this awesome. Thanks Monkey, for explaining proper macro use in a way I never could. It's true what they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Especially if it contains a thousand words.
