[Macro Question]

From my limited understanding of pow_exec, I believe it will de-toggle multiple powers with a single keypress. It will not, however, activate more than one power with a single key press consistently.  Also iirc that power_exec reads the functions from right to left -- backwards of reading english.

 

The way to get around this is to use bind_load_file and cycle through two files.  So for example:

- macro1.txt says    macro foo "powexec_name [power1] $$bind_load file "c:\macro2.txt"

- macro2.txt says    macro foo "powexec_name [power2] $$bind_load file "c:\macro1.txt"

 

To kick off the chain, in CoH chat window type: \bind_load file c:\macro1.txt

 

I know this works for keybinds, but have not tested for a macro button. For example this works:

- bind1.txt says    L "powexec_name [power1] $$bind_load file "c:\bind2.txt"

- bind2.txt says    L "powexec_name [power2] $$bind_load file "c:\bind1.txt"

 

No input for the original question, but for the binds above I would use bind_load_file_silent to not spam yourself with System messages.  Unless you want the System to confirm the files loaded (you'd get a system error message in either case if they didn't).

I don't think this is possible with the in-game tools.  You might be able to get a pseudo random effect by creating a sequence of files, then tying a command to load the next file to a frequently used key (or number of keys), like the movement keys, or spacebar.  Not truly random, but perhaps close enough.

Power data standardization?

 

(formatting does not look like it survived the board migration)

[Opinion: More players should see Null the Gull]

Storytelling is actually much better redside, but I've never actually felt like a villain - more of a lackey or cat's paw than a real evil-doer.  I understand that it's hard to make content where you are the driver, but always carrying out someone else's nefarious plot just doesn't seem villainous enough to me.

 

Also the scenery kinda depresses me.  I prefer the bright sunny skies and inviting colour palate blue side.

[Guardianites Assemble!]

I was mainly a Guardian player by sunset, though I kept a few alts pretty much everywhere.  My favourite Guardian alts were Scintillant, Tristesse, and Simulacra.  90% soloist, so likely won't ring any bells, but I was there... Really.
