Bind problems

[wolfshadow31]

I'm having a problem with these binds.  I did read a few posts on having more than one power on auto, by changing the auto priority.  I'm currently using 

 

/bind uparrow "+forward$$powexecauto hasten$$powexecauto Clarion Partial Core Invocation"

/bind downarrow “+backward$$powexecauto Clarion Partial Core Invocation$$powexecauto hasten”

 

/bind leftarrow "+turnleft$$powexecauto hasten$$powexecauto Clarion Partial Core Invocation"

/bind rightarrow "+turnright$$powexecauto Clarion Partial Core Invocation$$powexecauto hasten"

 

Basically, moving around should just change whichever is on auto.  My problem, is that the backwards one does not work, and I am not sure why, as i have followed the same format.  Now this is for just these two powers, but i have used this type bind for three powers.  Like left and right change  hasten and clarion auto priority, and then up and down changes between hasten  and Gun Drone.  Can anyone shed some light onto why the one for moving backwards does not work?  It just says something like +backward in pink writing in the chat when i try to use it

I logged in to give it a try and it worked fine with /bind downarrow "+backward$$powexecauto hasten"

The quote marks used in the second bind are different than the others. Bind gets fussy about stuff like that and the pink text you're referring to in the chat log typically corresponds to a syntax error. Try copying/pasting the working rightarrow bind EXACTLY and amend it to use the downarrow key.

That actually turned out to be the problem!  It's weird because I have these all saved in a Word file, and just copy and paste them into the chat box.  The existing quotation marks that are more vertical were already in that file.  The slanted ones are what I see when I try to make new ones.  I ended up just copying the quotation symbol to overwrite the ones that werent working, and everything is fine.  

 

Thanks so much for your help!

Never use Word to edit things like configuration files. It wants to use "curly quotes" and other typographical characters, not the straight quotes etc. that ASCII text files use. They are not the same characters, and command parsers will choke on them... as you've found.

 

Use Notepad. Or DL the wonderful Notepad++. And be sure to strip any existing bind or macro files of any upper-ASCII characters.
