Delay Param for certain slash commands

[Replacement]

I do not think we will ever get a /wait or /delay command to tell the game "process the rest of this bind/macro after X seconds" -- combined with powexec_tray, it's just too easy to create an infinite loop.

 

Can we instead get a delay parameter/arg for certain (safe) slash commands?

NAMELY:

emote

cce

cc

 

Example usage would be similar to powexec_location macros with something like "wait:3" to tell it to wait 3 seconds before executing.

 

It seems like if it were possible to limit it to a single wait per character (so if you have a keybind that fires off 3 separate Waits, only the last "wins"), that would help server spam.

 

What for?

This is mostly to create fun situations where you do things like perform a costume change when a particular buff wears off, but I think you could also combine it with +forward to make a character assume a particular stance every time they stop running.

 

Example:

/macro hyde "cc 1$$powexecname Adrenal Booster$$cc 0 wait:60"

 

This would put your Dr Jekyll character into Costume 1 as they activate Adrenal Booster, and then bring them back to Costume 0 when it wears off.

I can't see them adding more options to automate things within the game.  If you want to do things "for fun", why can't you just do them yourself - create a macro or bind to change costume as needed, etc...

We created a p2w power just to appease RPers who didn't want to see Panacea procs above their characters' heads. 

 

It's not unreasonable to ask for an ability to sync costume changes or emotes to particular effect durations, or to enable the ability to assume an emote stance when you aren't walking (which is currently impossible).

I'm not familiar with what you're talking about regarding the P2W vendor - do you mean the "only affecting self" one?  As for the original suggestion, are you saying what they wanted was a costume change that is tied to a power duration?  Regardless, if that's all that's being asked for, then fine...
