I have a khelidan macro spamming my text window atm...

I have this spamming atm when i switch into Black Dwarf form via macro.

"bind "q" "powexec_toggleoff Black Dwarf$$powexec_toggleon Dark Nova$$goto_tray 4$$bind_load_file c:\coh\ws_nova.txt"
bind"


I use these three macro's:

ws_blackdwarf: e "powexec_toggleoff Black Dwarf$$bind SHIFT+LBUTTON powexec_name Shadow Step$$goto_tray 1$$bind_load_file c:\coh\ws_humanform.txt"
q "powexec_toggleoff Black Dwarf$$powexec_toggleon Dark Nova$$goto_tray 4$$bind_load_file c:\coh\ws_nova.txt"


ws_humanform: e "powexec_toggleon Black Dwarf$$bind SHIFT+LBUTTON powexec_name Black Dwarf Step$$goto_tray 3$$bind_load_file c:\coh\ws_blackdwarf.txt"
q "powexec_toggleon Dark Nova$$goto_tray 4$$bind_load_file c:\coh\ws_nova.txt"

ws_nova: e "powexec_toggleoff Dark Nova$$goto_tray 3$$bind SHIFT+LBUTTON powexec_name Black Dwarf Step$$powexec_toggleon Black Dwarf$$bind_load_file c:\coh\ws_blackdwarf.txt"
q "powexec_toggleoff Dark Nova$$goto_tray 1$$bind SHIFT+LBUTTON powexec_name Shadow Step$$bind_load_file c:\coh\ws_humanform.txt"


Shifting in and out of nova/human, shifting in and out of dwarf i get spam.

Try switching to toggle_off and toggle_on instead of toggleoff/toggleon and see if that fixes it.

I use that set-up, too. It's the bind loading that causes the spam.

I think the only way to avoid that is to switch from a bind_load_file to just plain old macro-binding.
Edit: Just copy/paste the bind lines into a macro, minus the "bind_load_file" bits and you should be good. Replace your Q and E binds with something that points to the actual tray slots (I kept mine in slots 7 and 8 of each tray) where your macros are stored.
Double Edit: Oh. Upon re-reading the OP it seems it's syntax, not the function, that you are complaining about. Indeed, do as Obsidian suggested.

Isn't there a bind load file 'silent' option?

LordXenite uses it in his post here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com//showthread.php?t=190418

Be Well!

I might be wrong, but I don't think switching "Toggleoff" will work in this situation. I think I know what the problem is, but let me clarify a few things first:

So whenever you hit your macro to switch to Black Dwarf, you get this:

Quote:

"bind "q" "powexec_toggleoff Black Dwarf$$powexec_toggleon Dark Nova$$goto_tray 4$$bind_load_file c:\coh\ws_nova.txt" bind"

...in your chat window. And, I'm betting, in a thought bubble over your character. Gotcha so far.

Okay here's where I need clarification. It looks like you have three macros, one that's called ws_humanform, one that's called ws_nova and one that's called q, am I right? Are the command strings reproduced here EXACTLY as you have them entered into your macros?

If so, I know exactly what your problem is. It's the "e" at the beginning. When you hit your ws_nova macro, for example, the system sees:

e "powexec_toggleoff Dark Nova$$goto_tray 3$$bind SHIFT+LBUTTON powexec_name Black Dwarf Step$$powexec_toggleon Black Dwarf$$bind_load_file c:\coh\ws_blackdwarf.txt"

...and thinks you're emoting:

"powexec_toggleoff Dark Nova$$goto_tray 3$$bind SHIFT+LBUTTON powexec_name Black Dwarf Step$$powexec_toggleon Black Dwarf$$bind_load_file c:\coh\ws_blackdwarf.txt".

Now since there's obviously no emote associated with it it thinks you just want that to appear in a thought bubble (and your chat window). So try editing your macros and removing the "e" at the front of the chain. And, for that matter, the quotes around the command string (assuming you didn't put them there for our sake since they appear in the emote. If they're in your macro, they aren't needed).

I'm betting your macros for switching to dwarf form and nova form aren't working, right?

The enigma in all of this for me, however, is why you're loading bind files if the macros themselves are changing forms. Out of curiosity, what's in the bind files?

I'm assuming by marco the OP means Bind files, as thats how it reads. And having the e in there doesn't matter because there is no / in front of it so it's not reading it as an emote.

I think that what fireheart says above is correct, what you should have is bindloadfilesilent in place of bindloadfile

So you can't bind to the E key?

Wait... you're right about the/ key, but wrong about the OP's bind/macro. The E falls into the key position, so they game won't read it as emote, but as the key to be pressed for the bind.

Oh, waitaminute - yes I get what he's saying now. Dur. He said macro when he meant bind. If you macro when you shoulda bound you're not gonna have a good time.

I feel like an idiot now.

OP, forget everything I said in this thread.

Exit - stage left, even...

Nearly every problem I encounter reguarding binds somehow seems to occur to people using bind_load files. I really do not understand the reason to use bind_loads as I have never had problems using simple plain old binds.

"The more complicated the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain."

...and yes this was a pointless post and of no help what-so-ever. Sorry...

Yes sorry i ment bind, and ill try the silent command. Sorry it took so long to reply just work long hours

I've been wondering if i can do a bind like this:
SHIFT+LBUTTON "powexec_name Black Dwarf Step"$$SHIFT+LBUTTON "powexec_name Shadow Step"

Hang on... do you need the Shifl+Lbutton in there twice?
