Costume change macro

Hey guys and girls. I haven't made a macro before. I would like to know how to change my costume with an emote without having to open the menu. How do I do this? will it give me a button for it like other powers in my tray?

The specific macro I want is the "dimension shift"

thanks!

Quick answer for you:

/macro cc1 "em none$$cce 0 ccDimensionShift"

That will make a tray button labeled cc1, that will clear you out of any combat stance or other emote and use the Dimension Shift effect to change you into your first costume slot (which is the 0 slot in-system ... slot 2 is actually 1, slot 3 is 2, slot 4 is 3 & slot 5 is 4 ... -shrug-).

Change the cc1 to what ever you want the macro button to read (just remember to keep it short so you'll be able to still read it) & change the 0 after the cce to select a different costume slot.

Here is a link to the wiki w/ all the emotes.

Very timely. I was going to have to look this up as I wanted to do a:

/macro VIS "say Changing into high visibility mode$$cce 4 ccCast"

Uh...will that work.

[slot five will be a garish and bright costume for visibility in dark areas, so the team can see me.]

Should do, yeah.

Using the 'say' command will have the 'Changing into high visibility mode' text appear in whatever chat channel you have currently active ... possibly a miss-tell issue if you have multiple chat windows open, but otherwise it will work fine.

You can use 'team' instead of 'say' and the text will always appear as team chat.

I like say if there is more than one team, or whatever. I dunno, I use say in my "Out of end" and "Help! Too much Aggro!" binds. Though "On my Way" is team.

In most programming languages, arrays count from 0, not from 1, because the computer itself will start any progression at 0. They probably could have coded the command to react to the programmed slot+1 so it would count from 1 like we're used to, but they didn't and it would probably cause too much upheaval to change it now.

I'd suggest local for that situation... Using 'say' would suck if you're on Super Group, Coalition, or some random global channel... 'suck' for you, not the people that then get to make fun of you, that is.
I always leave it open-ended because I'm used to constantly switching between conversations so I habitually check which line is open, and sometimes I want the line in local or team or even sometimes on our SG chat. I've mistelled so much in the past it means nothing to me anymore.


Dec out.
