I'm not sure if it's quite what you're looking for, but it achieves the same effect.
Created a bind like "/bind tilde "afk Insert Funny Slogan Here." Then when you start to type, hit the tilde and then Enter to type. When you hit Enter again to display the text, the afk box automatically disappears.
If there's a cooler way to do this, I'd like to know myself.
I'm not the droid I'm looking for.
MA Arc ID 8121: Rapp'Mas'Ta's War. The Rikti are trying to incorporate sonic effects into their weapons? THAT can't be good. Maybe we should ask them to stop.
This should be what you're looking for:
/bind enter "afk [Witty Comment]$$startchat"

The brackets were only there to show you what to replace in the bind I believe.
when i do it wit out the brackets it just says AFK. How do i make it say what i want 2 say wit out it being in between somtin?
A couple of people I've teamed with have had an intriguing bind or macro set up on their characters, but I forgot to ask one of them about it and the other wasn't sure how they did it.
Basically, what it does is display an afk-style message above their toon whenever they are typing a message in the chat window. Once done typing, the afk message disappears. It is only present while the chat window is accepting input.
How is this done? This is cool, and I couldn't find the bind on the boards (though I'm sure it's here somewhere).
Any help would be appreciated.
