Surveillance

I didn't see a better place to post this, first time poster. If it's in the wrong place, I apologize. That said, I have just gotten the Epic Munitions power: Surveillance and want to know if there a way to keybind, macro, ANY way to bring up the stats it provides without having to open powers, open combat attributes, then close them all...all in the middle of game-play? Can anyone help?

Try the "hotlink" feature.


Type the name of the power in brackets, like this: [Brawl]
Then click on the word in your chatbox.

Also works for powers you don't have on that character.

I think, and someone will correct me if I'm wrong, that if you're Monitoring certain stats, Surveillance will allow the enemy's stats to show up there.

Of course, if not, then you can right click any Monitored stats and open the window. Not really the best solution, and there should be a relatively unknown slash command to bring the window you want up. There usually is.

I think the OP was asking about actually using the power. Surveillance changes the combat monitor window to show your enemy's stats instead of your own.

There is a /command to open the combat monitor window, and you could easily bind or macro that command. but I'm not sure what it is. Someone else will post that, I'm sure. I keep the window open, and so I don't have to worry about it.

Edit: Wiki to the rescue

http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Window_show_(Slash_Command)

/window_show window_name
/window_hide window_name

The window in this case is Combatmonitor

So you'd need to macro or bind "windowshow combatmonitor" and "windowhide combatmonitor"

I believe /windowshow combatmonitor will open the CA window (and /windowhide will similarly close it)

/show will work to open a window as well. I use it inlieu of /windowshow

I tend to tell people /windowshow, because while /show and /windowshow are the same, /hide and /windowhide are not

I tried all teh above and it was nogo...I went to Wiki and found this command which isworking just fine:
/toggle combatnumbers
thanks for all the help! I never would have thought to search in Wiki for Combat Monitor otherwise

Hah, terrific! I forgot all about /toggle and that means you only need one macro/bind. Excellent.
