very cool/handy tray changer for your WS / PB

Hey all

Im new to the forum but i wanted to share this handy macro/bind thing with you. i hope you like it.

i made it to keep my screen nice and tidy. after i got my nova form i got more powers, and with more powers you get less space. so what i wanted to do is make a macro that changes one tray with the form you are using at the moment.
i have a warshade. but you can also use this for your PB

logicaly you get 3 macro's. one for each form you have.

Human form:
Human tray

Nova form:
Nova tray

watch how the tray below automaticly changes while you are transforming in your Nova form!
havent got the dwarf form yet. but the macro should work


macro for Human Form

Warshades
/Macro Human "powexec_toggle_off Dark Nova$$ powexec_toggle_off Dark Dwarf$$ goto_tray 2"

Peacebringers
/Macro Human "powexec_toggle_off Bright Nova$$ powexec_toggle_off White Dwarf$$ goto_tray 2"


Macro for Nova Form

Warshades
/Macro Nova "powexec_toggle_on Dark Nova$$goto_tray 3"

Peacebringers
/Macro Nova "powexec_toggle_on Bright Nova$$goto_tray 3"


Macro for Dwarf Form

Warshades
/Macro Dwarf "powexec_toggle_on Dark Dwarf$$goto_tray 4"

Peacebringers
/Macro Dwarf "powexec_toggle_on White Dwarf$$goto_tray 4"

i hope you like it. if you have suggestions please post them.

Take a look on the kheldian forums a bit more, and look at allllll the other posts with these macro's on them

Make no mistake, I posted them up too when I figured it a good idea, but seems everyone else has them too

Hehe, yes, some use keybinds for the same purpose and some have 'refined' versions of these.
Personally, I have my 1st tray change to the current form's tray and my 3rd tray changed to human form tray when using Nova or Dwarf (so that I can see when Hasten, Sunless Mire, Dark Extraction and Eclipse are recharged) and changed back to 'non-combat powers' tray (e.g. Rest, base teleport) when switching to human form. Very handy!

I have my bottom tray as my switching tray specific to each form (so trays 1=Nova,tray 2=Dwarf, tray 3=Human), The middle tray is my travel powers and form change powers, and the top tray is perma left as my human powers so I can see when things are cycled and ready to be used

I tend to have

Tray 1 - sprint, travel powers etc,
- Changes to 8 for nova
- Changes to 9 for Dwarf

Tray 2 - Primary set human powers
Tray 3 - Secondary set human powers

I have all 3 trays open, so I can see when human powers are recharged whilst my lower tray switches with forms

I personally use tray 1 human attacks, tray 2 nova attacks and toggle, tray 3 dwarf attacks and toggle, tray 4 human defence/heals, tray 5 everything else, and use binds to change between trays and forms. o is my nova, p human, [ is dwarf.

So my o bind changes to nova and bottom tray to tray 2

my p bind changes to human, bottom tray to tray 1 and activates shining shield (on pb)

my [ bind changes to dwarf, bottom tray to 3.

I always have three trays up: 1/2/3, 4 and 5 for easy access to everything.

Similar binds to your macros though, as i use:

/bind o, "goto_tray 2$$powexec_toggle_off White Dwarf$$powexec_toggle_on Bright Nova"

/bind p, "goto_tray 1$$powexec_toggle_off Bright Nova$$powexec_toggle_off White Dwarf$$powexec_toggle_on Shining Shield"

/bind [, "goto_tray 3$$powexec_toggle_off Bright Nova$$powexec_toggle_on White Dwarf"

the toggle off sections allow me to change from Nova->Dwarf and vice versa - very handy

If you need to use these binds feel free, but if its a WS you need to change the "Shining shield" to whatever the WS one is called because its name escapes me atm :P
