combat weapon switching macros

Post by mts » Tue Sep 18, 2018 11:59 pm

my commando/tka is the main user of this macro. but i have others such as the bounty hunter who also changes weapons at times.

unarmed (i put this macro in F2. doesn't matter where it goes really.)
/ui action clearCombatQueue; (This clears out other commands you might have queued so the swap happens without further delay.)
/ui action toolbarSlot08; (This is one of the hotkeys on the toolbar. i dragged a vibroknucker there. this will equip that weapon.)
/ui action toolbarPane03; (this changes to the pane with all the unarmed attacks.)
/macro center; (This activates another macro that loops the brawler /centerofbeing ability.)

center
/centerOfBeing; (This is an ability that has no cost to activate. so why not make sure you get the buff at all times?)
/pause 30; (This is the wait in seconds before the macro continues. varies for different brawler professions and levels.)
/macro center;

flamethrowing (i put this macro in F2 of the unarmed pane, the same position as the unarmed macro on the main weapon pane.)
/ui action clearCombatQueue; (same as before.)
/ui action toolbarSlot09; (i dragged a flamethrower here.)
/ui action toolbarPane00; (This goes back to the primary pane with all the flamethrower specials.)
/dump; (since you can't do /centerofbeing while equipping the flamethrower, you dump the looping center macro here.)

so in function, you simply press f2 whenever you want to switch between weapons that use different specials. a few oddities:
if you logout, you will return to the game on Pane00. but you might have logged out with another weapon equipped. so you will need to re-equip your primary weapon. (flamethrower in my case.)
you can add additional weapons and put them into other hotkeys. and switch between multiple.
