Beta Macro List : FPS / MMORPG / RTS Discussion

yeha I'm kinda confused myself on how to even create a macro

Since I have found the anser to this question since I first posted it I thought I would come update this thread.

Here are all the "variables" this list was orignially released only to the beta testers and took quite a bit of digging to find.

%T Target's name
%TL Target's level
%H User's handle
%L User's level
%F User's first name
%N User's last name
%D User's discipline
%HT User's max health
%HC User's current health
%HP User's health percentage
%IT User's max inner strength
%IC User's current inner strength
%IP User's inner strength percentage
%S Current simulacra's name
%NH Current neighborhood
%MN Current mission name
%MO Current mission organization
%MS Current mission sponsor
%TS Target [subjective]
%TO Target [objective]
%TP Target [possessive]
%SS Simulacra [subjective]
%SO Simulacra [objective]
%SP Simulacra [possessive]
%G1 First group member's name
%G2 Second group member's name
%G3 Third group member's name
%G4 Fourth group member's name
%G5 Fifth group member's name
%G6 Sixth group member's name
%G7 Seventh group member's name
%G8 Eighth group member's name

These can be used in general chat as well as in macros.

the other commands that come in very handy while creating macros are the /attack & /fire commands.

/attack will attempt to draw you into close combat (interlock) with the target.

/fire will use the currently select free fire weapon, though only once and not on a repeating loop. You must creat a macro to do that.

what do [subjective], [objective], and [possessive] mean?

well, back shortly after launch when we had actual Live Events Actors, and they would use these when talking to players.

So,

%T, a level %TL, %TD only has %TC points of %TP health left.

returns

John a level 50, Master Knife Thrower only has 553 of his health left.

Or something like that. To the average player they probably won't be that important. occasionally though, you will find a use for them.

I use a macro for greeting friends...

/macro hello /say Hello %T; /wave;

This works great as long as I have them tagetted. Also, I've used them for PVP smack talk.

/macro smack /say %T a level %TL, %TD just got pwned by Jilted1

So the uses are mostly novel, but none the les fun.
