Help with Grav/Time Controller Macros

[Neokenshin]

I'm having a difficult time with creating Macros for my Grav/Time troller. I can't get the macros to work with targeting skills. Right now I'm trying to make macros for these skills

 

Temporal Selection - Target nearest ally to buff

Distortion Field - Target nearest Enemy

Dimension Shift - Target Nearest Enemy

 

For Distortion/Dimension I'm using /macro XX "powexec_location target " But it's not triggering.

And for temporal I tried the macro I have for Speed Boost on my Kinetic troller "unselect$$target_friend_near$$powexec_name" and it's not working.

 

Anyone who plays Grav/Time troller, can you share your Macros/Binds? That would really be helpful for this build!

When you have a macro that selects a specifc target and fires a power, you have to double click the macro.  The first click will select the target and the second click will fire the power.  Hopefully that helps.  You can actually leave out the underscores if you want as well.

 

/macro temp "targetfriendnear$$powexecname temporal selection"

/macro distortion "targetenemynear$$powexeclocation target distortion field"

/macro dimension "targetenemynear$$powexecname dimension shift"

You can combine some crazy options in your macro commands, but if you want the macro to select a target for you, then noogens2 is spot on -- you'll have to click the button twice.  Macros evaluate right to left, so the first press tries to fire the power without a target, fails, then executes the other command, selecting a target.

 

The command below creates a macro with the Freezing Rain icon.  When clicked, it tries to drop FR at my target.  If I don't have a target selected, it drops it at my feet.  (The only unhandled case is if my selected target is out of range for FR -- then nothing happens when I click the button.)

 

/macro_image stormsummoning_freezingrain.texture "Freezing Rain" "powexec_location me freezing rain$$powexec_location target freezing rain"

 

With this macro, I only have to click the button once to fire FR.  But the key is that FR can be cast without a target....
