What's a Macro for Phoenix Down?

[MarcelGreyshield]

Sunuva....

So I just hopped on a low job and did "/hotbar share 1 on," "/hotbar share 1 off," and the same for bars 2 and 3. All has now become clear.

Wow, i had no idea this existed. (All the shared bars are currently blank for me - probably you too if this is news to you reading this!)

So Miko's method of using the "share" bars as the temp storage "bank" is probably the best one, and doesn't need to mess up any other job bars to do it haha.

....forgive the wall(s) of text, i used to be a Linux sysadmin and made many shell scripts to accomplish tasks, so this has me geeking out more than a little

Oh whoop one last important thing! Messing with other macros, i have found that
/wait X.X

seems to be the best "wait" to use, as it lets you specify a time down to the tenth of a second, such as

/wait 1.2

will wait 1.2 seconds before proceeding to the next command to process.

10 seems to be the limit; no, it won't take hundreths (they are just ignored); and if you RP you can use this to make emote macros flow smoothly together. You'll have to eyeball the animations and guesstimate, and probably trial and error it til it's right, but the results can be fun. Such as, for my MNK:

/easterngreeting motion
/wait 2.8
/crimsonlotus motion
/wait 13.8
/bm off
/displayarms on
/battlestance motion

so the greeting flows into the Crimson Lotus which, as it ends, flows into the Battlestance "warm-up" and flip with weapons out (this is of course job specific since every BStance is different).

But less martial applications might be, for example, a yawn and a stretch, or a wave and a hug, stuff like that. experiment with the delays until the animations blend smoothly
