Blast the Gateway summon fireball macro/keybinding

[Accipitradea]

Want to yell HADOUKEN when you start this quest? Then bind a key to summon FIVE FIREBALLS AT ONCE!!!
ok, it's not as cool as it sounds, and is actually a pain to set up but is worth it in the long run.

This is a repost from my post in the $$$ Dailies $$$ thread.

Create a macro that reads:
/use Sizzling Embers
and name it something short and easy, like 'se'.
Then create a keybinding for this macro (protip: native keybindings do not require action bars, very useful for people who play their accounts individually and like to use the action bars for normal single player abilities like me) one of two ways:

Method 1: Using /script commands in game (easy to use if your keyclone setup passes parens and capitals (which mine doesn't)):
/script SetBindingMacro("Binding","Macro")

Example:
/script SetBindingMacro("ALT-/","se")

To save this binding to your bindings-cache.wtf file on logout, run:
/script SaveBindings(GetCurrentBindingSet())

Method 2: If you're not down with scripting, add this to the end of each \World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\YourAccountName\bindings-cache.wtf file for every account you need it on:
bind ALT-/ MACRO se

:!: Make sure you only edit that bindings-cache.wtf file when you're not logged in, as logging out overwrites any changes you make.


Note: In the macro named 'se', "/y Hadouken!" is optional.

thanks for the refresher on how to bind macros to keys via script, I was trying to do that last night and coudln't remember the syntax for the life of me.
