Macro /alias
Posted: Tue Dec 17, 2013 10:24 pmHi all
thought it was about time i added something for ppl to use, as i have had ISBoxer for 2 years. Heheheh
This may help alot of ppl. I tend to make these macros as a default when i make a new toon
First macro
NAME - Main Target
Command line - /alias MT:target %t
Second macro
NAME - Main Assist
Command line - /alias MA:assist %t
Third macro
NAME - Follow Target
Command line - /alias FT:follow %t
You now have 3 macros to set when you join a group for boxing or pug's
Usage
- Join/make a group
- select your Main Assist and click Main Assist macro
- select your Main Target and click Main Target macro
- select the toon you wish to follow and click Follow Target macro
This will now set new commands to use in a new macro.
Here is my level 1 starter macro's
Fight Macro
NAME - Attack
Command line - /MA
Command line - /autoattack 1 ( or /autoattack 2 for ranged )
command line - /merc attack ( optional )
Now add your spells in order of recast timer with the biggest at the top of the macro under the 2 command lines.
Make sure to add a longish recast spell/Combat Art at the bottom too ( this is due to EQ2's strange idea of a way the macro works lol )
Thats the first macro to start the fight, now for the macro to stop the fight and follow your chosen toon.
Back Off macro
NAME Back Off
command line - /target_none
command line - /autoattack 0
command line - /cancel_spellcast
command line - /clearabilityqueue
command line - /merc backoff ( optional )
command line - /MT ( this line can be optional )
command line - /FT
Now your set Off you go and play
Extra things to add.
Target Nearest macro
NAME - Target Nearest NPC
command line - /alias MA:target_nearest_npc
Now your don't have to change anything if you playing solo or tanking
Other things to be aware of in eq2
All hotkey have the ability to have 2 keys. This mean you can have 2 or more full macro's ( i only use 2 as i am not sure it will work with more ) being pressed with one key.
