Using items with a macro

[Vodkafairy]

Found this post on german boards, and had no idea it was possible, maybe some of you will find it useful.

It's actually quite simple, just make the following macro:

/macro xx /use 5 **

or

/macro xx /use2 5 **

replace xx with the name you want to give the macro (obviously), and replace ** with the digits that represent the slot you want to use.

0 = right hand
1 = left hand
2 = two-handed
3 = ranged weapon
10 = helm
11 = hands
12 = boots
13 = jewel
14 = vest
15 = cloak
16 = legs
17 = arms
18 = necklace
21 = belt
22 = left bracer
23 = right bracer
24 = left ring
25 = right ring
40-79 = inventory slots

so for example, you want a macro that directly uses a barrel of power (in your first inv slot):

/macro barrel /use 5 40

Do you think that something like this could potentially equip items from yourback pack? There can't be a big step from useing, to equipping

There shouldn't be. Because there was already a macro to use an item, and you could bind it to a key. EG, F4 was my use1. So i'd press and hold F4 down and click on the item I wanted to use. Now with this I just clikc one button.

With equip'ing an item. You can't macro to equip something. You have to move it with your mouse and not be lazy ! So... no

Anybody know what other numbers other than "5" do?

 

[Jeriraa]

Now if there was the possibility to give these macros the appearance of the items too...

 

[adoNix]

very nice thanks

 

[Haggus]

What other numbers?

They are the code of the location of the items in the game mechaniks !

5 is obveously there as a directory to tell the mechaniks(!) that you want to use something from your inventory or something that is equiped.

Game code and binary proberly.

P.S There are 10 kind of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't !

 

[Jeriraa]

Anybody know what other numbers other than "5" do?

5 is probably just a prefix to let the internal command parser know that the command is referring to an item.
The question is not what other numbers than 5 do but what the function called by /use does. if for example it triggers styles or spells too then other prefixes would refer to them.

 

[Gear]

Amazing info, gave the rep as soon as I saw it, ta very much mate

 

[Aetius]

This is really nice info Vodka, thx!

 

[Righthandof]

nice info, but what the hell does it do with rvr discussions

 

[rure]

Goed gedaan vf

 

[Haggus]

nice info, but what the hell does it do with rvr discussions

People who play casters will understand

oh... tank words. You use end pots ? well instead of right clicking your barrel of end and typing /use. This is telling you how to just click one button and it will do it for you.

So... therefore it is helping the effeciancy of peoples performance in RvR !
