Macro question

[AzraelX]

How do I create a macro to initiate an action and text at the same time. Like say something when I do a certain action.

And how do I create a raise macro that makes make say something indicated i'm raising a player and use the raise action.

/ac Resurrection <t>
/p QQ Rez on <t>.

/micon "Raise" will set the macro icon to the raise skill icon so that you know what it is.
/ac "Raise" <t> will cast raise on your target, <t>.
/p Raising <t> will enter that into party chat, and say the target that you cast raise on.

Therefore you would press the macro and it would cast raise and at the same exact time, say "Raising Keydah Tia" in the party chat.

To make it say stuff in chats, type the chat's command (/p for party, /a for alliance, etc) before the line and it'll enter that directly into the chat as if you had typed it yourself.

Just copy paste or type the following into a macro and try it out (you don't need to actually be rezzing someone to check and see if it works because it'll still send the "Raising <t>" to chat even if there's no raise...summon your bird so that it'll pop up in party chat instead of saying "there are no party members" while you test it):

/micon "Raise"
/ac "Raise" <t>
/p Raising <t>

If your test works, it'll say "Invalid target" because you don't have a dead player selected, and then send your message into chat.

You use them all.
Each macro can have 15 lines.

Each line serves an ad hoc function, so to do what you want (2 different things from 1 macro) you need a minimum of 2 lines. The first line /micon Resurrection just sets the macro icon to the skill Resurrection, not necessary but it helps.

<t> is your target so the macro will rez the target you have selected. You could also use other target designations, should be easy to find a full list of it somewhere.
