Pet Emote Help

I could use some help...

I'm trying to make a button do three things, if possible: put my Robots in Stay mode, tell them in the local channel they're to stay put, and to have them do the "Robot Power Down" emote.

First of all, I don't know if robots can even *do* Robot Power Down-- can anyone confirm or deny?

I copied the hand-up Stay button into my tray from the pet tray, and then altered it. I've tried to enter this:

local SUPPORT UNITS DISENGAGE.$$ petcom_all Stay$$ petsay_all em "Robot Power Down"

But when it gets to Robot Power Down, it all falls apart. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

The emote part should be petsay_all <em robotpowerdown>. I have no idea if that emote works with Robots either.

Ah.... didn't work, I guess the e-mote doesn't connect for them... does anyone know where I can find a list of emotes pets (specifically robots) can use?

I got it to work just like you described.

this is exactly what I typed in the chat window:

Code:
/macro test "petsay_all <em powerdown>$$petcomall stay$$say Stay put"

Aha, "powerdown" instead of "RobotPowerDown" will work. I think the remaining problem is just that the robots (specifically the tier 2 ones) don't really like to stay in an animation like that when they begin... so instead of functional Stay buttons, I can make a second button for just telling them to stay put. Maybe another button for powerup before they make their first attack of the day...

Thanks, folks!
