Creating a Macro

Type / macro or click on the talk button and select Macro. A window will appear listing the macros. In the beginning, you will not have macros. Click the “new” button at the bottom of this window. Another window will appear in which you can enter a name for the new Macro and select an icon. Enter the name of the Macro. Choose it in a way that makes it clear what it does. For example, enter the name “assist” (help). Select an icon. For example, a sword. Click “Okay” - now you will see the Macros window with the selected icon (sword) and the entered name (“assist”). Left-click (LMB) on the macro icon to select it. A button will appear, with which you can change the name of the macro or its icon. While the icon for your macro is highlighted, move the cursor to the “enter macro commands” input area (enter macro commands). This is where you can enter what Macro should do when you click on its icon. You need to add a “/” before the command, if it requires it. In general, commands must be entered in the same way as in their normal use. Enter “/ assist Nebu” Now, place the cursor over the sword icon (assist), then click on it with the LMB and hold it (LMB). Move the icon to an empty space in the action bar.

To use your new macro, click the corresponding number button or right-click (RMB) on the macro icon in the shortcut bar. Now, you have a Macro with which you can help another player (Nebu) in attacking monsters. When Nebu enters a battle with someone, press the button of this Macro and your new target will be the subject that Nebu is fighting.

Finishing Editing Macros

After you finish editing or creating Macros, click the cross in the upper right corner of the Macros window to close it.

Editing Existing Macros

Type / macro and then click on the macro icon you want to edit. You can now edit the selected Macro in the “Enter Macro Commands” input area. When you are done, click the cross located in the upper right corner of the Macros window to close it.

Limitations of Macros

For each Macro there is a limit on the number of characters. If your Macro is too long, make it shorter (approx. Transl. - mdya … and we will not guess before)!

Macro Tips

Use any existing commands.

Here are some other tips for using macros:

• repeating text that you do not want to enter again repetition messages for auctions -creation of funny messages -execution of a sequence of commands, for example:

  /leave 1 
  /leave 2 (leave channels 1 and 2)
  /join wowtraders (joins the wowtraders channel)
  /g Hello everyone! (welcome everyone to your guild channel)
  

Additional Information

You can use “% t” in your Macros to automatically insert the selected monster, creature, player into your Macro. For example, the macro “/ say hi% t” will display “Hi Nebu” if you have currently selected the Nebu player.

/ cast allows you to cast spells by name. Type “/ cast (spell name)” - Example “/ cast Fireball (Rank 1)”. To use this command in macros, you can type it in “pens”, or click on a spell holding Shift in the spell book to automatically add the corresponding command to the macro.

Basics:

Macros in the Islands are written in the Lua language (www.lua.org). Lua is a small and fast, but powerful enough language written in C. Therefore, knowing at least the basics of C? You can easily understand this simple task - writing macros for Islands. Type in the chat / macros line - a list of macros will open, type the new button, then create a name, select a picture, then enter the code. Stop, and what actually enter? Well, let us think at all, why do we need all this, correctly, to automate our actions, and what they can be read in this topic. The first thing that comes to mind is to tell your group

who to attack:

/p Atacking% t

(% t substitutes the name of the character you selected.) Well, now let’s say we are a magician, who played a magician - he knows what a misfortune to cast polymorph in a group, when members of the group, by inconsistency, begin to attack and quite often they get a sheep.

/p Polymorphing! DONT atack% t!
/cast Polymorph (Rank X)

(X is your spell level) Go ahead. We need a script that treated and warned the rest of the healers that you are already curing this goal:

/ script if ((UnitName ("target") ~ = nil) AND (UnitIsFriend ("player", "target"))
then SendChatMessage ("Healing (+ n)!", "PARTY", "COMMON", UnitName ("target")); end
/ cast SpellName (Rank X)

I think it is clear, the description of the function, see below.

Another useful macro:

/ script ToggleBag (0);
/ script ToggleBag (1);
/ script ToggleBag (2);
/ script ToggleBag (3);
/ script ToggleBag (4);

Opens / closes all bags. It is useful to bind to “b”.

I will give the main functions:
