I had some trouble figuring out how to set the costume change emotes to work during costume changes without having to use the Menu, Costume Change. So I found different tutorials and found something on youtube to help out. Since I was having a hard time with it, I thought I might post exactly how, so maybe someone else could find this a lot faster.
I have never used macros or binds before, but they are easy to set up, once you know exactly what you need to type in.
Using a macro will set up a button for your power tray. I do use all 3 trays, so I had to make room on Tray 3. If you have an empty space the button will automatically go to the empty space.
I have 5 costumes currently.
The numbers in the macro command Must Be from the NUMPAD
/macro CC0 "cce 0 CCFeatherspin$$"
/macro CC1 "cce 1 CCFeatherspin$$"
/macro CC2 "cce 2 CCFeatherspin$$"
/macro CC3 "cce 3 CCFeatherspin$$"
/macro CC4 "cce 4 CCFeatherspin$$"
These are the commands for the first 5 costumes, the CC1 before the " " can be changed to name your button. Featherspin is the current emote that I have - this can be changed to Smokebomb, or Spin. Whichever emote you currently have, No space if it's a two word emote.
Since I had to place these buttons in my Third tray I went into my Options – Keymapping - to set one key activation. For Tray 3 it's Alt2 Tray Slot 1 - set your button, for me it's F1.
I renamed my buttons to match my outfits, because the zero thru four doesn't really match one through five. If you find the command is giving you an unknown command message, make sure the number is from the numpad.
********************
These are the binds that can be used instead for one click activation, I used F1 thru F5, and the binds didn't seem to have the numpad issue that the macros buttons did.
/bind F1 "cce 0 CCFeatherspin$$"
/bind F2 "cce 1 CCFeatherspin$$"
/bind F3 "cce 2 CCFeatherspin$$"
/bind F4 "cce 3 CCFeatherspin$$"
/bind F5 "cce 4 CCFeatherspin$$"
