help me write a macro

I have limited mobil in my fingers so i have to click more than normal is there a way to write a macro the i can place a 4 cure buttons on my bar and when i click it it will heal each player example F1 cure F2 cure etc instead of pressing the F key and clicking i want a button on my hot bar i can click

/ac "Cure" <2>

Replace the number as you see fit. It was the number of your party number. ac = action FYI

Not sure if this is what you are asking for... You can use the <p#> placeholder to specify a specific party member.

/ac Cure <p2>

This will heal the second person in your party list. I'm not positive how high the number goes since I haven't tried it myself, but I would guess you could go all the way up to 24.

what you could do, if you're not using the shoulder buttons on your mouse, is make a cure mouseover macro and bind that macro in the hotbar in the keybinds option to a shoulder button, the macro would be /action "cure" <mo> all you would need to do is hover the mouse over the party member's name in the group window and click the shoulder button of choice. I haven't actually tried this myself as I have my shoulder buttons bound to shift and ctrl, but it should work. That macro actually works for people outside of your party as well so you don't even have to targeted, just moused over.

Thanks this is great advice ... thankls to the rest of you also

Here you go:
Macro 101

You're welcome, not a lot of people know about it yet it seems, but its a great feature, its great for active healers since you can leave the tank main focused with your f key and hit the normal cure skill, then mouse over other party members and heal them without having to switch targets, I love it, it works for other skills too though.

I'm really going to have to sort out this mouseover macro when EA starts! Thank you everyone who passed it on, it's going to be very handy :D

It's my preferred way to heal. I find that I am a bit more responsive using this approach.

Have you considered using gamepad controller instead?

I've used the controller in beta and I have to say that it was very well receive. It's awkward at first but after awhile its soooo much faster than keyboard.

My Preferred cure macro is the following:

Code:

---

/macroicon "Cure"
/ac "Cure" <mo>
/ac "Cure" <t>
/ac "Cure" <me>

---

This will show all the spell information (help text, global cool down, etc.).
Use Cure on the mouse over target so I can hover over the party list and cure from there.
If there is no mouse over then it will cure my target (usually the tank).
I also explicitly have it fall through to cure me if there is no target. It may just work like that by default, but I like to be explicit just in case.
Hope this helps!:cool:

EDIT: I use keyboard and mouse currently, but I'm sure you could use some clever targeting filters with controller to solve the same problem.
EDIT2: As I understand it, D-Pad left and right is for enemies and D-Pad up and down is for party members on controller. That means you shouldn't even need a clever macro like this on controller unless in a fate I presume.
