Can anyone tell me how to make a macro for costume changes? I also want to use the new emotes. I have all of the booster packs except wedding (it sux) and mac pack as well.

type in:

/macro Cos1 "cce # ccname_of_costume_change_emote"

replace # with either 0-4 corresponding to the costume slot, and the costume change emote names can be found here.

Thanks, much appreciated.

I did everything you said except it doesn't do anything at all if I change the # symbol to 0-4. Only the # symbol works and then it will only change to the first slot. Am I doing something wrong?

As an example, the command to switch to your third costume slot using, say, the lightning emote, would be:

/macro Cos1 "cce 2 cclightning"

Note that's 2 for the THIRD costume slot, because they count from zero.

oh no , you only need to pick one from 0-4. 0 being the first costume slot and 4 being the fifth slot.

whoops, beaten by sam.

Yep, that's exactly what I did.

Here's the text:

/macro 1 "cce 3 ccDrinkFormula"

I had to remove the parentheses or nothing would happen at all then I put the # symbol instead of 3 in and it changed to the first slot but wouldn't work after that unless I changed again and had it go back to the first slot. (Devs if you're reading this it was on BorisTheSpider virtue red side).

Totally understood

P.S. Why did you get the smiley face with his tongue out for typing :P when all I get is :P?

it's a correctly typed macro, ...so i'm not really sure why it's not working.

i noticed on my binds that there are times when it would lag though, where it wont even play the animation and the costume changes within... 2 to 3 seconds. other than that, most of the time, it works.

I'm no pro at binds, but I do notice that Kismet's/Sam's macros were

/macro Cos1 "cce 3 ccDrinkFormula"

while yours doesn't have the Cos. I'm not sure if that makes any difference or not, but it's the only difference I saw

It shouldn't make a difference that part of the macro is just the name that gets put on the button. I could name it anything that would fit on the button.

Also, do you have four costumes on that character? '3' would be the fourth slot, not the third.
Sorry, I meant quotation marks. Actually, I have all 5 costumes on that toon. I just used 3 because that was which one I had tried last. Btw, I got it to work. I don't know why but I couldn't just edit the macro that I already made (what I was trying to do). I had to delete it and start over. I think I forgot the end quotes when I was first making the macro which is what caused it not to work (possibly I'm not sure).
