[Macros] Anyone Figure out anymore toggles/commands for rift macros?

[Meeo]

I am curious to know if anyone was able to get anymore details on the macro system within rifts.

As of right now all i really do is target my main, assist him and then cast.

Has anyone else figured out if there is a way for target of target, or any switching/casing within the macros?

I use the target the leader with "cast on targets target" turned on. Im sure we will figure it all out soon. I did not use any macros in beta6. only an invite macro and follow.

Here is good discussion on macros and way to get more than one spell in a macro to work

im currently at work, and cant test it but im curious to know if anyone is currently using these style of macros in game...

*MouseOver Heal Example*

#show Basic Heal
stopcasting
cast [ctrl] @mouseover Heal Over Time
cast [ctrl] Heal Over Time
cast [alt] @mouseover Big Heal
cast [alt] Big Heal
cast @mouseover Basic Heal
cast Basic Heal

and something like this:
@Focustarget - Cast a spell at a target of a focused target, E.G. /cast @focustarget Soul lance

Im curious to know if these are working as intended(wow like); This will help out tremendously if its all working properly

I set up my follow system to work via focus so that whenever I PiP swap to a screen that character becomes my focus. My biggest problem so far is actually that I can't copy and paste into the macro box for whatever reason. Silly RIFTs.

i hate that not being able to copy past in macros..pain in the ass. SO how did you do your focus macro? I have not figured out a way to do that.

[Mosg2]

I literally typed non stop for 45 minutes to get it setup.

When I PiP swap to my windows (1-5 respectively) it sends F1 through F5 to everyone. Then the F1 macro in-game sets the focus to the character in slot 1. Then the macros look like this:

/focus <charactername>

Then my follow macro is:

/target @focus
/follow

And I have my follow button in ISBoxer as a two step button so that I can add one motif to each character each time I hit follow.

Use Repeater to set up all of the windows at once! ;)

[None of the above]

#show Basic Heal
stopcasting
cast [ctrl] @mouseover Heal Over Time
cast [ctrl] Heal Over Time
cast [alt] @mouseover Big Heal
cast [alt] Big Heal
cast @mouseover Basic Heal
cast Basic Heal



This macros is obsolete, they restricted many things available before. Right now you can use only one cast statement for one macro.

I remember that part; i guess i should if said, are the modifer and @ variables still applicable?

[Redbeard]

So how are you guys replicating castsequences, if at all?

Anybody figured out a [nochanneling] alternative?

Some examples:

Warrior ability... my main sequence uses a cooldown (builds 1 point) and a spam attack (1 point)... id like to add 1 more ability and then the finisher but not sure if i can do it on one button (without doing keymaps to press the different buttons).

Entropic veil is a 15s cooldown chloromancer ability that i want to (at this point) use on cooldown. its off the GCD so it activates whenever if i put it in my macro. The problem is, on the next button click it deactivates the buff. So Its like i need some sort of !Entropic Veil equivalent, not sure if there is anything.

Just curious what folks are doing,

Thanks.

The only way i have been able to replicate castsequence is to put in multiple /cast statements in order of highest to cooldown to no cooldown.

It will cast them in order, you will get the red message saying only macros with /cast sequence will operate, but the spamming it will cast the second or third spell without the getting the red message. Not sure what everyone else is doing.

I've also been looking for a nochanneling stopcasting macro, but i have yet to find it.

[Mosg2]

There is no [nochannel] in the game. It's actually my biggest gripe.

I use ISBoxer to setup castsequences. Just make multiple steps and have the "do not advance" option set to your GCD. It works great.

I'm really hoping that they let people do UI mods. Something fierce.

Actually that macro will work fine. The macro system tests each line for execution and fires the first one that passes. What you can no longer do is something like this:


#show SomeBuff
cast @mark 1 SomeBuff
wait 2
cast @mark 2 SomeBuff
wait 2
cast @mark 3 SomeBuff
wait 2
cast @mark 4 SomeBuff
wait 2
cast @mark 5 SomeBuff

Here's a sample of my heal macro that I use every day:


#show Healing Breath
cast [ctrl] @mark 1 Healing Breath
cast [alt] @mark 2 Healing Breath
cast [shift] @mark 3 Healing Breath
cast @self Healing Breath
