Macro share

hey i am after 6 years of playing getting into macros. share your favorite macro with the old man. write it for me, and what it does!!!

Blackmelee out!!!

Well my favorite are the ones that combine the insp for you, can save a lot of time.

/macro SHth "inspcombine insight respite$$inspcombine luck respite$$inspcombine catch_a_breath respite$$inspcombine enrage respite$$inspcombine sturdy respite$$inspcombine break_free respite$$inspcombine awaken respite"


Here is a guide to more

Always keep the names of macros short (3-5 characters)

Gotta love a heal that any character can use. This one quite simply activates green insps. If you are keyboarding, this might not be so handy. I, however, play CoH with a Logitech Dual Action gamepad (think PS2 controller). This is incredibly useful when you don't want to touch the keyboard unless you have to.

/macro heal "inspexec_name respite"

Then edit and paste this on the end

$$inspexec_name "dramatic improvement"$$inspexec_name "dramatic improvement"

Here's some short cut macro bits for costume changes. Some costume changes require Super Boosters and/or unlocking. They change your costume with costume change emote so that your costume change is smooth. Basic context is

/macro name "cce # CCchange"

where name = display name in tray, # = the costume slot (starting with the first one being 0 instead of 1 and counting up from there) of the custom you want to change into, and change=name of the costume-change/emote.
I like naming the costume macros with a name for the costume that the character will the changing into, for example Suit, Anime, Wolf, etc.
Parts are pre-arranged below for cutting and pasting into the chat entry line or macro-edit window.
I already had these pre-made so I can cut-and-paste parts in on the fly.

And a great team recruiting tool. Open your search window, click on someone you would like to join your team, and hit this macro. It automatically sends them a tell asking if they want an invite - and it includes your level!
I call this one SFT aka Search For Team.


/macro SFT "t $target, Hello. I'm running a level $level mission team. Would you like to join us?"

For more direct flavor spice it up!

/macro SFT "t $target, Greeting. Would join a butt-kicking team of unstoppable heroes running level $level missions?"

Or more specific!
/macro SFT "t $target, Hello. Would you like to join a level $level team running missions in Striga?"

And for when you are recruiting below level 15!
/macro SFT "t $target, Hello. Would you like to join a level $level mission team? (if on a trial type:: /hc I'll join)"

When the trial account user types /hc I'll join - it comes up on the [Help] channel as I'll join. No one else will know what they are talking about, but you'll know that they are ready for an invite.
Anyone can use the [Help] channel, but many people don't know that you need to use /hc to chat on the [Help] channel.
(I miss those days when it was /help, that made so much more sense in context with the rest of the game)

If you are recruiting for someone else just put their level in where the X is on this one::

/macro MFT "t $target, Hello. I'm recruiting for a level X mission team. Would you like to join us?"

Special tip for Alt-jumpers!

Make a NotePad file and save all the macros that you use over and over again!
When you make a new alt, you won't have to type everything in all over again. Just copy from the Notepad file, and paste it to the chat line of your new character!
Saves tons of time.

I always load up the heal macro and tray-flip macros when I first start a new Alt.

Great Fun!

I'm not much of a macro guy, but I love binds.

If it hasn't been said already:

/bind lbutton+shift "powexecname Teleport"
This is a great tool for point-n-click teleporting. Just hold shift and point where you want to go. Alternativley. . .

/bind lbutton+shift "petcom_all goto"
The exact same bind! Only this time, I use the petcom command "Goto". Now you can do the same point and click for where pets go. I use this (combined with /bind rbutton+shift "petcom_all follow defensive") for easy switching between pets following me in bodyguard mode, and attacking my enemies.

EDIT: OH! I almost forgot, make sure to check out THIS GUIDE if you want to get really fancy with macros.
