ACN/SCH/SMN Macros & Cross-bar Setup

[Gnc1234]

What about healing the pet can you target the pet and use a normal heal spell or can you only use the spell that regens 8% of the health Overtime? and what would be an example of a Macro you would use to target the pet???? I assume /ac "physick" <pet name>

pretty close, just use <pet> instead of pet name

Thanks!!!! is there going to be an easy macro to have the pet target adds?

Question about the pet command Obey. Does it cause carbuncle to only use auto-attack? Or will it still use the basic single target ability (Gust for emerald carby, and Gouge for topaz carby).

I'm pretty certain it just uses its AA.

Normal healing spells work on the pet too.

So far this is what I was able to set
/ac "Summon" <me>
/chotbar change 2 -Change to chotbar set 2-
/chotbar remove 2 RAL R2 + □ = RAL(RA1)
/chotbar remove 2 RAU R2 + △ = RAU(RA2)
/chotbar remove 2 RAR R2 + 〇 = RAR(RA3)
/chotbar remove 2 RAD R2 + Ｘ = RAD(RA4)
-Erases Set 2 so I can replace the skills from the summon-
/wait 0.5 (You know... just in case)
*None of the macros below work, set subcommand macros for pet are broke ATM*
/chotbar set "Shining Emerald" 2 RAL
/chotbar set "Downburst" 2 RAU
/chotbar set "Gust" 2 RAR
/chotbar set "Backdraft" 2 RAD
-These are the skills I want to set to my crosshotbar for any designated pet, the point is not having to switch between 5 different bars for each summon skill, it's just not effective-

I haven't found any macro commands on the internet nor have I recieved a response from SE to confirm if pet macros are available since the (PET) tab is different from (SKILLS) tab and maybe that's why we're having this problem.

I seriously don't understand this. You know that if you just tap R1 whilst having a pet summoned it'll load a hotbar unique to that pet, right? To me it sounds like you're recreating the same hotbar over and over whenever you summon a different pet >< Sorry if I missed the point.

I totally disliked the pre-set pet hotbar... And I don't like having to tap or hold R1 to change a hotbar set from 8 different ones.
I had to turn it off because it's not my gameplay style... We all have one you know, and this macro fits mine.

That's fair enough; didn't mean to sound condescending or anything, I seriously didn't understand what your macros did (all of the gamepad macro lines confused me!).
It took me a little while to get used to, too. For my other jobs I just tap R1 to switch between the two "active" hotbars that I have... the pet one keeps tripping me up, but I'll get used to it!
