i need help with a macro or key bind

[Ridgid]

is there a way to click a macro in power bar or a hot key to push for the following requests?  if so can someone spell it out for me, very much appreciated

 

1, change costume with the change costume emote and say "its nova time!"

 

2. change costume with change costume emote and then activate a power

 

3. change costume with change costume emote. say  then <something> then activate a power                   

 

            eg. change to costume 3 with "drink serum" emote and then say "its nova time!" then activate <nova> power

 

i truly appreciate the help

/macro CC "cce <slot> ccSuperSerum$$l It's Nova Time$$powexecname Nova"

 

Might do it, tbh not really done much with costumes. It might also require two presses, it depends how costume change emotes work with powers. (Replace <slot> with the costume slot you want to use, slots start at 0 for the first slot.)

 

Breaking it down:

cce = costume change emote

$$ to split up sections of the macro/bind

l <text string> sends what you want to say to local, considered bad form (IMO) to send it to b (broadcast) or other chat channels...

powexec_name = Activate this power.

That should work. I have a character that changes into a costume that has wings, says "flight mode", then activates fly.

Granted, fly is a toggle and not a clicky. sometimes, they seem to function differently than clickies in keybinds.
