Macaroon + Vehicle/Character Change Key Question

[pinotnoir]

I have macaroon for two long macros on my dk's. My main binds are keys 2 and 3. These are used in vehicles and when you get changed like the last boss of Drak. Is there a way I can keep 2 and 3 bound to macaroon buttons and use the vehicle/character keys? As it stands right now it will not work. If I am in a vehicle and press 2 or 3 it wont activate the buttons becaue its trying to call macaroon. If anyone knows how to solve this problem I would appreciate the help.

i believe the possess bars that come up are bindable, try keybinding the possess bar only, with whatever keys you'd want to use... then you should be able to do what you wish

Yep -- create a NEW bar, not associated with your main bar. Right click->check "possess" state. Left click on the bar to get to the possess state and add just buttons to that state (you don't need buttons on the primary state unless you want them). Bind those possess state buttons to whatever keybinds you want -- as long as they don't collide with your current keybindings you'll be fine.

If they DO collide with your current keybindings you'll have to create a new bar for each of those sorts of collisions -- one for your "normal" state with your "normal" macro and keybindings, and then one for your "posess" state with your vehicle keybindings. That way it'll replace the existing keybindings via state/stance change when you enter a vehicle.

Hopefully I didn't sound too confusing, but I think that should fix your issue...?

Ok I am very confused now. When I did the check posses state thing it started a new bar. From that point I was lost. I use the keyboard buttons 2 & 3 for my two dk macaroon buttons. The default buttons for vehicles and stuff are like 1-5. When you are talking about them coliding you mean I am using the same keys for my dps macaroon macro buttons right? I am very new to macaroon so there is a ton of stuff I dont know about.

What I meant about "colliding" is that if you bind say... button "1" to a button on your new possess bar, it'll UN-bind the one that currently exists. So, to get around that, you need to create a paged bar with your currently-in-use "1" button and a possess state with another keybinding of "1". That way it won't collide and un-bind.

So, since you use buttons 2 & 3 for your DK, you can use buttons 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 for your "posess" bindings no problem (just create a new bar and give it a "possess" state).

If you ALREADY have buttons bound to 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and you don't want to create new bindings for your "possess" state, then you'll have to use a paged bar (that is, give it buttons on its "normal" stance and give it buttons on its "possess" stance so that the keybindings don't overwrite each other -- the keybindings can be the same on each page of the bar, it doesn't matter, since they won't "collide").

Whew, hopefully I made more sense that time. It's been a long workday, sorry. >.<

The one thing I would like to be able to do is bind a key or write a macro that will allow me to dismount from a vehicle. With macaroon the vehicle ui goes away completely so I have to right click my vehicles unit frame and click leave x 5. Anyone know if there is a way to do this?

A vehicle dismount button is being added to the 3.1 version of Macaroon. However, you can make a simple macro to do this -

/run VehicleExit()

Thank you so much!

could you not add /click macaroonbutton** to your normal buttons, since your not possessed it will do bugger all, but when you are possessed it will utilise the /click....

just a thought, i had similar issues this weekend when doing drak tharon last boss. i ended up binding seperate keys on anothe bar to "8" & "9" which did a /click command to /target boss name then another /click to another button to macaroonbutton3 for bone shield etc.

Shit explanation i know but those who know the system might get the idea

This sounds like an awesome idea, I'm gonna have to try it when I get home.
