[HELP] Macro AND Keybind questions....

[Yasminou]

Hello all! I haven't played this game in awhile. I'm thinking of trying it again. I have a few questions regarding macros/keybinds...

1. I know it is possible to make a target of target macro, but I was wondering if it would be possible to do the following...

Cast <spell>
If target is friendly Cast <spell> on target of target

If the target is not, it will default to self. Same as when casting Cure when targetting an enemy, Cure will land on you.

2. Since dungeons have level scaling is it were possible to have a macro/ability that casts the appropriate level spell when in the dungeon?

With the SB traits replacing old spells with new spells (Stone -> Stone II -> III -> IV). Can you elaborate what you want exactly? For BLM, you could do

/ac Fire IV
/ac Fire

And if you can cast Fire IV then it will be cast, otherwise Fire will. I would advise not to do such a macro though.

3. Is it possible to bind something to Shift? Mouse wheel up and down?

Shift is a key modifier so I do not think so. Mouse wheel up/down, maybe. You should try in the keybind menu to do so.

4. Is it possible to lock the camera to a certain distance without having to zoom in and out all the time?

Not that I am aware of.

5. Any must have WHM/Healer macros? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you like to target with your mouse, you can do

/ac Cure <mo>

Though, as I said, people prefer not to use macro for GCD spells / weapon skills because they cannot be queued. So you have to hit the button at the perfect time in order not to waste time.

Another one could be to make a raise macro to tell people you are raising a fellow party member.

/ac Raise <t>
/wait 1
/p Raising >> <lastst>
