Multiple macro icons in one macro?

[TooMuchStarbucks]

Hey guys, first post! Sorry it's a complicated one.

I'm trying to make numerous macros for my SCH pets, mainly to save space. I'd like to bundle Eos's Whispering Dawn with Selene's Silent Dusk, since there will never be a situation where I'll case both accidentally. How do I make it so that, while Eos is active, the macro will show her Whispering Dawn with proper icon, tooltip, and CD info, and when Selene is active, it'll show the Silent Dusk icon, tooltip, and CD?

Change your summon skill to a macro
As a rough guide;

/ac summon
/hotbar 1 5 whispering dawn

And then the same with summon II but change the skills. I can give you mine when im next on.

I'd greatly appreciate it, since I'm still somewhat lost.

I don't have the macros set up myself (yet), but the general goal is, if you're setting your pet skills onto your own hotbars (which is a smart idea), you can macro your summon skills to also replace the skills on your hotbar. The result is, when you summon Eos, Eos' skills are set on your hotbar, and when you summon Selene, Selene's skills can be set to your hotbars instead.

So something like:

/micon "Summon" For setting the icon (although I've heard it may be better at the end of the macro)
/ac "Summon" Setting this macro for summoning Eos
/hotbar # # "Whispering Dawn" First # for the hotbar you want Whispering Dawn on, second # for the slot on the hotbar
/hotbar # # "Fey Covenant" Pretty sure you can just continue like this for all the skills you need to set.



And then you would do basically the same thing with Summon II, with Selene's skills. Then each time you summon, the appropriate skills are right where you want them, and none of the skills you don't need.

/micon "Summon"
/chotbar pet "Whispering Dawn" "Eos" 1 LA1
/chotbar pet "Embrace" "Eos" 1 LA2
/chotbar pet "Fey Illumination" "Eos" 1 LA3
/chotbar pet "Fey Covenant" "Eos" 1 LA4
/ac "Summon" <wait.7>
/pac "Obey"

/micon "Summon II"
/chotbar pet "Silent Dusk" "Selene" 1 LA1
/chotbar pet "Embrace" "Selene" 1 LA2
/chotbar pet "Fey Wind" "Selene" 1 LA3
/chotbar pet "Fey Caress" "Selene" 1 LA4
/ac "Summon II" <wait.7>
/pac "Obey"

Note that im using chotbar (cross hotbar for a controller) so the LA1/2/3/4 are for a controller instead. If you go to the macro text command help it will tell you what they all are.

Same again for Summoner

/micon "Summon"
/chotbar pet "Shockwave" "Garuda-Egi" 1 LA2
/chotbar pet "Aerial Slash" "Garuda-Egi" 1 LA1
/chotbar pet "Contagion" "Garuda-Egi" 1 LA4
/ac "Summon" <wait.7>
/pac "Obey"

/micon "Summon II"
/chotbar pet "Mountain Buster" "Titan-Egi" 1 LA1
/chotbar pet "Earthen Ward" "Titan-Egi" 1 LA4
/chotbar pet "Landslide" "Titan-Egi" 1 LA2
/ac "Summon II" <wait.7>
/pac "Obey"

/micon "Summon III"
/chotbar pet "Crimson Cyclone" "Ifrit-Egi" 1 LA2
/chotbar pet "Radiant Shield" "Ifrit-Egi" 1 LA4
/chotbar pet "Flaming Crush" "Ifrit-Egi" 1 LA1
/ac "Summon III" <wait.7>
/pac "Obey"

In case this is new information to anyone, the help command is /?

/? ?
/? chotbar
/? hotbar

In the macro window, down the righthand side where you have your macro text. Below that is a button "text commands" I think. Click that and it will open up a new window with all the commands and examples.

Yeah, but that window only lists each command in its full form, so using it presupposes that you already know the full form of the command you're looking for. /? will work on any short forms like /micon and /chotbar.

They are pretty self explanatory, you can also use the webpage which has everything in categories. http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest.../text_command/

Typing

/? somecommand

will always be faster than looking the command up in the text command directory or on a web page and will never require someone to open a browser (or walk away from a PS4 to look it up on a computer).

The /? command is singularly the most useful command in the game, and everybody should learn to use it.

For example,

/? micon

ALIASES:
　/macroicon, /micon
USAGE:
/micon “icon name” [category]

→Displays the specified icon as a hotbar icon. If used twice in a single user macro, only the first instance will be recognized.
