Skill Cool Down feedback issues when using Macro, please allow us to turn it off.

[ogopogo]

Please give us the option to turn off the feedback in the top middle of the screen that tells you that you cannot use this ability now when we are using a macro. This is especially a problem with Pugilist macro where you're allowed to write your skill chain backward for maximum efficiency.

For example:
/ac "Snap Punch" <t>
/ac "Twin Snake" <t>
/ac "Bootshine" <t>

Because Pugilist is stance based and you cannot use the ability in stance 2 and 3 before you enter stance 1, this macro will work and allow you to cast Bootshine, Twin Snake and Snap Punch in succession with 1 button. However, because it has to skip over the first two line the first time you use it and skip over the first like the second time you use it, you will be spammed with system feedback every 2 out of 3 button presses. Please allow us to make a no feedback clause in our macro or give us the option to turn it off.

For Example:

/ac "Snap Punch" <t> [nf] to turn off "You cannot use this ability now" feedback.

This is a great idea.

In addition to this we should be able to specify which skill icon and associated tooltip and cooldown are displayed on the face of the macro button.
Using an example that will be familiar to some;

#tooltip Skill3
/ac Skill1 <t>
/ac Skill2 <t>
/ac Skill3 <t>

This macro would, as normal, always use the first available ability from Skill1, Skill2 or Skill3. The button face would always display the appropriate icon, tooltip and cooldown information from Skill3.

That would be absolutely wonderful. I remember Rift having that exact feature and it was a god send.

I can't find the list of commands right now, but I believe the command you're looking for is /macroicon. The OP's macro would be:

/macroicon "Bootshine"
/ac "Snap Punch" <t>
/ac "Twin Snake" <t>
/ac "Bootshine" <t>

I need the option to disable these messages as well. I'm using a heal macro that uses both <t> and <mo> and get spammed with these messages. You can disable them from your log but that's not a problem.

You can go to preferences of your chat window(general for instance) and disable error messages.

You cannot currently disable the red error text that displays center screen

[LordSaviour]

have you tried putting a /wait 1 or 2 , depending on your skill / spell speed and ability recast?

This will allow you to just press the button and let the abilities progress naturally.

Is there away to show tool tips in macro's? or do they need to add that?

and for your macro your trying to make idk what the cd is on your spells but this is the way i made my chain macro

/ac "Straight Shot' <t>
/wait 2.50
/ac "Venomous Bite" <t>
/wait 2.50
/ac "Feint" <t>

The problem with writing that way is that I cannot switch skill mid macro nor can I repeat an action if it misses. The way how I wrote it, you can get around those problems but in return I get spammed with error message mid screen.

you can disable the error messages by going to character config> log window settings and going to general or what ever you want clicking on announcements and unticking Error Messages
