tmclarke Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Anyone know a way to bind or macro so that with a single press I could do a costume change with emote using a random one of my costumes? Or if that's not possible, to cycle through them in order each time the key/macro was pressed? Specifically the Dimension Shift costume change emote. Thanks!
Umphrey37 Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 I once saw a bind that allowed one to hold shift and click to teleport while mystic flight is active. Do you know it?

Oubliette_Red Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 Is there a way to create a single bind or macro that allows me to swap/alternate between two costumes using the same emote. By that I mean... I have a character with wings, who's alternate costume removes them. So that while indoors he swaps to costume 1 (without) and while flying around out of doors he's got his wings out (costume 0). So the bind/macro would swap to the one that is not currently active.

Nemeroff Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 Trying to replicate a macro I had on Live. Activates a power and also sends a /tell to the player. The /tell would say, "Granting you +FORTITUDE+" and said player gets Fortitude, one click. Being a /tell it's highlighted yellow and makes the signature beep. "What are dominators...

GeekySpaz Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) I can get the colors to work, but then when I hit the bound key the cursor doesn't set where the text will be entered until I hit an arrow key. I want to be able to hit enter and immediately begin typing with my input going after the color change commands. Is there a way to do that? The bind I put in my keybinds.txt file looks like: ENTER "$$beginchat <color #AA00FF><bordercolor #8800FF><bgcolor #000000AA>" So after playing with this for several minutes it seems that you can set a keybind to start with a string, but if that string includes any of the <color whatever> codes it goes into this mode where you can't type anything into the window without first clicking on it.

Shaman Coyote Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 I do apologize if this has already been addressed. I could find nothing about it by searching. I've tried to find some way to set binds that would place a power in a slot on auto, regardless of what power was in that slot, and I've found nothing to suggest that's possible. I work from home now and since work is slow I've been playing while working. When a call comes in, however, I'd really like to be able to turn on a power to auto and let it go. I'd also like to get the CTRL+CLICK default avoided so that it stops triggering my teleport bind which uses CTRL+LBUTTON (or maybe they're both ALT+; I can't remember right now and it's not actually relevant to this question). Does anyone know anything that I might do for that? Another question I've been wondering about is the practical difference between binds and macros. Everything I've read in here and elsewhere leads me to believe the only practical difference is that macros have icons for the trays while binds just use keystrokes. Have I missed something that can be done with macros that can't be done with binds? I'm a bit biased because I have an over-abundance of buttons between my mouse and my gamepad and all are easily accessed without looking at them so I never click anything in the trays. That, of course, is a third reason for my primary question above. I very, very seldom click anything in the game other than contacts and glowies and would love to avoid that if I could. Most games I've played have some kind of "interact" action that can be used by a keybind instead of by clicking. Not sure what the deal is here. I dimly recall having the same question back on "live". I tend to be overly verbose so I'll force myself to close this query here. Thanks for any attention given. Coyote

There are 2 commands, powexec_slot, which activates a power by slot, but doesn't set it to auto. And there is powexec_auto, which requires the power_name, not the slot #. I don't think this is possible 43 minutes ago, Shaman Coyote said: Another question I've been wondering about is the practical difference between binds and macros. You nailed this. Binds are tied to mouse/keyboard, and macros are clickable. There are some nuances in how you can save them and reuse them that are also different, and I've also found somethings just don't work as a macro and they do as binds. 52 minutes ago, Shaman Coyote said: some kind of "interact" action that can be used by a keybind instead of by clicking.

No additional characters after it accepted. beginchat - Opens the chat input window, the same as startchat, however any characters placed after it automatically appear in the chat. autoreply - functions exactly the same as default backspace. Opens the chat window and places the name of the last person who sent you a tell in the chat. $$ - Line break. Like hitting enter mid code line. Allows you to make multi-line macros and binds using a single line of text. /macro LFG "lfg Level $level $primary $secondary $archetype looking for team $side side." Places a new "power" in your powers tray labeled 'LFG' that when activated automatically posts to the [Looking For Group] channel with the line of text seen above. $level - Gets replaced with your current characters current level. $primary - Gets replaced with the name of your current characters primary power set. $secondary - Gets replaced with the name of your current characters secondary power set. $archetype - Gets replaced with your current characters Archetype. $side - Gets replaced with which side your current character plays on(hero/villain). No mods required, no editing of game files. Just copy the line you wish to use into your chat text field, modify as you like within the bounds that you can modify them, (IE: startchat will never accept text after it, no matter how hard you try to make it), then hit enter. Presto, modification made. Feel free to reply to this with your own binds and macros!

Otherwise you could create a series of bind files which load up the next power in a cycle. However in the real world this might be a lot more cumbersome than just casting them manually, as it will cycle through the 3 powers rigidly. Best practical advice I can offer is to expand your range of keybinds, so that you can have more powers at your fingertips. Personally I use keybinds 1-5 as normal and then convert 6-10 on my power bars to q-t. (or alt+q-t, ctrl+q-t, etc.). plus with /bind you can bind any button on your keyboard and mouse, so take full advantage of that. In the long run that will work better. Rad doesn't have a lot of clickie powers so you shouldn't have an issue really. Retired, October 2022.

For example activating Radiation Infection, Lingering Radiation, and Enervating Field from one macro? the way to get this to work is by pressing the button multiple times. Because most powers have activation times, a macro or bind stops after one. This can work because 2 of the powers are toggles and the non toggle can be place in the proper place. /macro Debuff "powexecname lingering radiation$$powexectoggleon radiation infection$$powexectoggleon enervating field" the 1st press turns on enervating field, the 2nd radiation infection and the 3rd activates lingering radiation. one thing of note is that the last written power goes first, if you put linger radiation last the macro will only activate lingering radiation, pressing it a second time will make it wait for lingering radiation to recharge and fire again you can do this with any string of toggles but you can not do this with any string of regular powers unless you go through the exercise of creating multiple bind files such that one power is activated and then the key is reassigned to a different power so that pressing it again fires another power and reassigns the key again for a 3rd power and so on, prob not the best explanation of bind file rolling but I'm tired

Did you ever try that or did you just go straight to the on/off? Eliminating the toggle for a single, toggle-able power does the same thing as using toggle_on / off. I usually only use it when I want to be sure a power is OFF, for instance, I have a Hover/Fly bind that goes: /bind ` "powexec_name Fly$$powexec_name Hover$$powexec_toggleoff Ninja Run" ...which makes sure I'm not flying/hovering around with Ninja Run toggled. Similarly: /bind T "powexec_name Ninja Run$$powexec_toggleoff Fly$$powexec_toggleoff Hover" ...which will bring me out of hover/fly and start running, as well as turn EDIT: As luck would have it, I was on a toon with an odd travel power setup: BW/Bio Sentinel. Now Bioarmor on a sentinel is great because of Athletic Regulation. In offense mode, it's a massive +run / movement buff. So much so that I did NOT take SS, SJ, or Fly. Instead, I took Hover (for blasting / LotG mule / etc) and just use Ninja Run + Sprint to be at the speed cap while in Offense mode. Quick Hover, too. Anyway, my usual Fly/Hover bind was not going to do, so I did this (which gets us to the whole TOGGLE ON / OFF issue and where / when to use it): /bind ` "powexectoggleon Combat Jumping$$powexectoggleon Hover$$powexectoggleoff Sprint$$powexectoggleoff Ninja Run" /bind T "powexectoggleoff Hover$$powexectoggleon Sprint$$powexectoggleon Ninja Run" So here, I use my "travel key" (the tilde, to the left of "1") and the travel buff key "T" (I re-map target with CTRL+T, just in case). When there is more than ONE power needing to activate, and one uses "powexecNAME powerA$$powexecNAME powerB" then only power "B" gets activated, another press will deactivate powerB. Both of these things I do not want. So I used the toggleon / toggleoff as shown above. My intention is spam-tap tilde to turn off the endurance hogs of sprint and ninja run, turn on the combat flight (aka hover) as well as turn on Combat Jump. Inversely, when I want to haul ass at run-speed cap, I spam-tap the T key. I know the key press for each is just two, but sometimes in the heat of things, I just want to spam it and go.

lkellum1600 Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Does anyone know of a way in game to create a macro that creates a new mail, defaults in your global name and then attaches the item you click on to the mail or am I really reaching here? Let me know please before a bind a key outside to fill in the blanks...Thanks!
