Help needed with a DRG macro

[EmmetOtter]

Full disclosure: new to the game. Only created 1 FF14 macro of my own and it doesn't work (yet).

The problem I'm having here is that True North is an ability with charges.
So if I have 2 charges up what's gonna happen is that True North will be used 2 times in a row.
I was wondering: is there any way I can avoid this?

It sounds like you want: Press keyboard and activate spell A. Press Keyboard again and activate spell B. Press keyboard again and activate spell A. Etc....

I'll take a shot at answering this question with a "sort of". I don't think it can be done with 1 action bar and 1 macro, but it could be done with 2 actions bars and 2 macros.

This assumes that you are putting the 1st ability macro on hotbar 1, because that's the one that can be rotated to show a different hotbar without changing position. Not sure if this will work if you are using a different hotbar

1st Macro "Test1"

/micon "True Thrust"
/ac "True North" <me>
/hotbar change 2

2nd macro "Test2"

/micon "True Thrust"
/ac "True Thrust" <t>
/hotbar change 1

NOTE: could also have used "hotbar change next" and "hotbar change prev" if you are switching between hotbar 1 and 2

You basically have 2 hotbars that are identical except for the spot you put the macro. On one bar you put Test1 and the other you put Test2. They will not flip bars every time you hit the keyboard # its assigned to. The downside is you're basically using 2 bars to do this and if the spell can't be cast just yet, it still flips. Also if you have "happy fingers" and repeatedly press a button when trying to activate this ability, you may end up on a random bar showing.

Edit: I guess now I have created 3 macros and 2 work! 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
