    Chotbar macro

    Hi all,
    I currently have a 'crafting' crossbar set to shared. And a macro to turn this hotbar on and off that looks like this: /chotbar share 3 on/off. It works perfectly fine.

    However. Since I've been racking up macros, I would like to set them up per crafter. So I disabled that my hotbar is shared. But any new macro I make to display and hide this hotbar doesn't work.

    I've tried all of the following:

    /chotbar 3 on/off -> does nothing

    /chotbar display 3 ->separate macro with hide macro
    /chotbar hide 3

    /chotbardisplay 3 on/off -> does not take subcommands, so just turns everything on/off

    Is there anyway to make this work like the shared works?

    I don't think it is possible to hide specific hotbars within the crosshotbar itself. The only one I know you can hide is the 8th but only as the additional display (WXHB). "/chotbar display" seems to be invalid alltogether. I have set up the WXHB one as kind of "menu" with macros that will change the displayed hotbar, which I then treat as "submenu". Hiding normal hotbars by number works fine, the crosshotbar doesn't seem to allow that tho. I am not sure if that is intended behaviour, given it is listed as valid option.

    /chotbar is different from /hotbar. /chotbar is an abbreviation for /crosshotbar, used by players using a controller. It has no subcommand such as "display" and "hide". Also, there is no command named /chotbardisplay.
    Edit: In the description on the linked page, the Japanese version does not have "display" subcommand, but it exists in the English version. I believe the English version is incorrect.

    The /hotbar command has a subcommand "display", but no subcommand "hide". You can display a hotbar with the following command:
    /hotbar display [number] on
    And hide a hotbar with the following command:
    /hotbar display [number] off

    Note that DoH classes have class-specific actions with identical names, so non-macroed actions placed on a shared (cross)hotbar may not always execute correctly. If you need to use non-macroed DoH actions from a shared hotbar, you must replace them with the ones corresponding to your current DoH class. I use the following macro whenever I switch DoH classes to share CUL's crosshotbar with other DoH classes:
    /crosshotbar share 1 on
    /crosshotbar remove 1 all
    /crosshotbar copy culinarian 1 share 1
