How do you use Macro Icons?

I put
/macroicon "Inner Quiet" for the first line of my macro, but it does not change to its image :mad:

It's because whatever job you're on doesn't have Inner quiet because in all SE's wisdom, they decided to make it so you can't use icons for stuff you don't have on that job.

The /macroicon command doesn't just change the icon to the desired art, it will actually behave the same way visually as if you had the button for that ability on your bars. I.E. the same states such as GCD, CD, "Combo Ready," grayed out etc, based on the current state of the ability selected in the macroicon line.

This would be pointless if you could set an ability you didn't have access to because abilities you can't use have no states to call upon. That being said, if you want to use the art for an ability on another job for a macro, you're free to do that, simply select the icon in the macro panel, and then don't use the /macroicon command in your macro.

They replaced the icons art.

It will only change the icon once you put it on a bar, but NOT within the macro menu itself.

Not to be rude, have you guys checked macros since the update? They show a completely different list of icons now, and not the ability ones anymore. The patch notes tell you to use /macroicon if you want to show one of the ability ones now, but it only works if you have access to those abilities.

Omg thank you.

I brought this up in my FC but they all claimed to still have the same old macros. Nice to know they're just idiots. (jk guys)

Your old macros aren't effected, just don't change the icon for them.

I'll take "things I didn't know" for 500.

'Their' infinite wisdom shines as brightly as ever it seems.

So I have to be on the class/job to use the corresponding icons as art?
