Yes folks, writing a macro may seem daunting to you but it's all going to pay off well in the end. Trust me.
What you need to know first
Here are some things you need to know before starting your macro:
- It always starts with /script
- The macro is limited to 255 characters only
- Exact names of skills/weapons/armors/pots are essential
How to write RoM Ph Macro
Ok, so we will be tackling only the most basic macros, those who want the advanced macro is welcome to try it out by checking
all the macro commands here.
So let's say you have a Knight and want a macro that does the following in order:
- Holy Strike
- Holy Strike
- Holy Strike
- Punishment
Here are the macro commands you need to know first before continuing on:
- /cast: tells your character to cast something from your skills
- /wait: tells your character to attack while you wait for a certain number of seconds as the previous skill is still cooling down.
So let's start shall we?
As I mentioned before, it always starts with /script so:
/script
Then we add /cast Holy Strike. Basically telling our Knight character that he should cast Holy Strike on the target.
/script
/cast Holy Strike
But we need to add a /wait command to ensure that we wait for the Holy Strike to cooldown before using it or else we'll end up with an error. I think 2 seconds of waiting is enough.
/script
/cast Holy Strike
/wait 2
Then we repeat the last two commands twice to get the other Holy Strikes.
/script
/cast Holy Strike
/wait 2
/cast Holy Strike
/wait 2
/cast Holy Strike
/wait 2
Then add Punishment to complete your macro.
/script
/cast Holy Strike
/wait 2
/cast Holy Strike
/wait 2
/cast Holy Strike
/wait 2
/cast Punishment
Save the macro, put the shortcut to your hotkeys, and try them out!
