Learn Macro-ing in 5 minutes. Short Macro/Button guide for newcomers!

Hey.I made a small quickguide on macro info I found useful in beta.
Hope you can use it


Alt H - Shout
Alt R - Respond to latest tell
Ctrl+Home - Use in the UI menu and some normal windows. Rescale something in your hud from S/M/L
F1/F2/F3 etc. - Quickselect party members
/me + words - display name before words. Example: Carana Harmonii stole a cookie.
/(emote) motion - emotion without sound

/clog,/hlog,/flog - opens corresponding logs, handy for macro's

Starters for playing with macro's:

<t> - current target
<me> - yourself
<mo> - apply to current mouseover target (also works on your UI)
<p#> (#=number) - current party member
<tt> - target of your current target
/ac - action
/wait 1 - wait 1 second
/echo "message" - displays msg only to you


Sample for Macro
/ac "Cure" <t>
/say "Here, free beer!"

Sample for Chain Macro
/ac "Raise"
/say "Help is here!"
/echo "What an idiot, tsk!"
/wait 8
/ac "Cure"
/echo "Just wait til you get the bill!"

In P4, <p#> didn't work but <#> did

On my Arcanist, <pet> worked for targetting my carbuncle.

/macroicon "action" will display the action's icon when placed on the hotbar.

Anyway to set your default text to shout?

Thanks for that information. I didn't get to dabble in macros earlier. Look forward to diving into it.

Thank you for the information ^.^

Anyone know of a tooltip macro for displaying ability text/cool downs? Hoping for something like #showtooltip from wow.

Where do you go to access macros?

Thank you for posting this
