question about dollar signs and macros loaded from .txt (FIGURED IT OUT)

[eldriyth]

This is currently one of the binds I have in a .txt that will generate each macro in this file when I press 9 on the keyboard.

 

9 "macro ATK ""$$macro AST assist_name maincharSSpetcom_all Attack Aggressive$$macro STP team_select 1SSpetcom_all defensive follow$$macro AH ah$$bind_load_file C:\cohkeybinds\setup2.txt"

You will notice however that I put SS instead of $$ so they actually show up on the macro in-game.  The annoying thing is I need to change them manually to $$ to get them to work. My question is: is there a way to make the $$ symbols actually show up in game without having to do what I am now?

 

 

 

EDIT:  I figured it out.

 

9 macro$$macro ATK ""$$macro AST "assist_name mainchar$$petcom_all Attack Aggressive"$$macro STP "team_select 1$$petcom_all defensive follow"$$macro AH ah$$bind_load_file C:\cohkeybinds\setup2.txt

 

That creates all of the macros with a single keybind. The problem I had was no macro$$ at the beginning and I had too many "" or not enough in the right areas. I hope this helps somebody.

A good read for your situation: https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/The_Incomplete_and_Unofficial_Guide_to_/bind

-- Underscores don't matter, but spaces do.

-- Variables are your friend, but it's easier to share macros here than in game for that reason, as "Hi $player" always gets translated.

-- $$ is great, but has limits (no macro can queue up more than one power at a time, short of using Autofire and powexec in the same command to affect two powers.)

Checkout the links in My sig as one of them (I can't see them right now to say which) leads you to a full document on how this works.
