Copy macro broken?

[Stephen]

I\\'ve been trying to use the copy macro for copying hotbars from one job to another etc.

It doesn\\'t appear to work anymore though, I\\'ve definitely got the syntax right and have tried on multiple accounts and on pc / ps5 and neither seem to work.

Anyone used it recently?

Can you copy your macro that you intend to use and post it here?

Just making sure the syntax is correct, here are some examples.

/hotbar copy PLD 1 WAR 3
> copies PLD hotbar 1 to WAR hotbar 3.

/hotbar copy current 1 share 1
> copies the personal hotbar of the current job to the shared hotbar 1 (difference can be seen when en/disabling shared hotbars)

/pvphotbar copy PLD 1 WAR 3
> Same as first, but intended to be used when sitting at Wolves' Den Pier or in PvP modes.

Other than that, post your syntax here and I can tell you what might be wrong.

Maybe the destination hotbar is shared? If this is the case, "/hotbar share [number] off" will solve the issue.

Either this or you want to copy directly to the "share" bar of that number.

Each class and job has a full set of 10 hotbars and 8 chotbars, regardless of your sharing settings and regardless of job unlock status. There is additionally one completely separate set of 10 hotbars and 8 chotbars for a "class" called "share", which is what the shared hotbars use. If you want to copy to a shared bar, you need to use "share" as the job in the copy command. If you copy to a job bar that is a shared number, the command will succeed; you just won't see it because the job's bar is hidden due to the share settings.

In most cases, you can copy a class/job (cross)hotbar directly to "share" without trouble. If you want to copy from a DoH class to "share", please be careful.

I had a problem when using the following macro:

/crosshotbar share 1 on
/crosshotbar copy CUL 1 share 1

It copied a XHB, but sometimes copied actions could not be executed in current class. DoH classes have class specific actions with the same name. The macro did not always copy the correct actions.

The following version worked fine for me:

/crosshotbar share 1 on
/crosshotbar copy CUL 1 current 1
/crosshotbar copy current 1 share 1

/crosshotbar copy current 1 share 1

In that case though, why turn sharing for that bar on at all? The first copy line to current 1 would be visible on an unshared bar.

You are right. I don't need to turn on sharing. I posted a prototype macro for simplicity, but it made my intent unclear. The current version first backups a class/job XHB, uses it as a temporary XHB for copying, and finally restores it. I turn on sharing just because I want to avoid unintentional overwriting class/job XHBs. I treat class/job XHB as an original and the shared XHB as a workspace.

/crosshotbar copy culinarian 7 share 8
/macrolock <wait.2>
/crosshotbar copy current 4 share 4
/crosshotbar copy culinarian 1 current 4
/crosshotbar copy current 4 share 1
/crosshotbar share 1 on
/crosshotbar change 1
/crosshotbar copy culinarian 2 current 4
/crosshotbar copy current 4 share 2
/crosshotbar copy culinarian 3 current 4
/crosshotbar copy current 4 share 3
/crosshotbar copy share 4 current 4
/crosshotbar copy culinarian 4 share 4
/crosshotbar copy alchemist 7 share 8

CUL 1-3 ... crafting actions
CUL 4 ... crafting macros
CUL 7 ... DoH gearsets
ALC 7 ... miscellaneous macros
share 8 ... XHB for expanded controls with L2+R2

I manually switch gearset while waiting.

I also use dozens of combat macros using "/crosshotbar copy" on a daily basis. There were no issues before or after recent updates.

EDIT: After some trial and error, I found that DoH class XHB can be copied to shared one without touching class/job XHBs, allowing me to skip the backup and restore process. I updated my macros.

/crosshotbar share 1 on
/crosshotbar remove 1 all
/crosshotbar copy CUL 1 share 1

/crosshotbar copy culinarian 7 share 8
/macrolock <wait.2>
/crosshotbar share 1 on
/crosshotbar remove 1 all
/crosshotbar copy share 1 share 2
/crosshotbar copy share 1 share 3
/crosshotbar copy share 1 share 4
/crosshotbar copy culinarian 1 share 1
/crosshotbar change 1
/crosshotbar copy culinarian 2 share 2
/crosshotbar copy culinarian 3 share 3
/crosshotbar copy culinarian 4 share 4
/crosshotbar copy culinarian 5 share 5
/crosshotbar copy culinarian 6 share 6
/crosshotbar copy alchemist 7 share 8

When I want to commit changes in another DoH class, I use the following macro. It has a foolproof function; when your current class/job is not DoH, it waits 1 minute before starting the copy.
