Setting Up a Macro

There are four components involved when designing a macro. First, the macro is given a name. Then, a person creates a tooltip, so that whenever the cursor hovers over the macro, it can convey the message that the player wants to convey. Next, an icon is selected to represent the macro. And finally, the commands are entered which allow the macro to carry out its intended purpose.

Make a note that each command you want must be placed in a new line. Doing things like /skill Healing Light II /use Bandage in one line will not work properly.

Skills

To create a skill macro, input the command, following this template:

/skill [name] Example: /skill Healing Light II

Items

You can either drag the item into the macro window from your inventory or type it manually. Dragging the item into the window will do type the said command automatically. If you want to input the command manually, the template is as follows:

/use [item] Example: /use Bandage

Hotbar/Quickbar

The set of numbers indicate the following: Location, page, and skill number. The first number indicates which hotbar, on your graphic user interface, you wish to use (top, right, bottom, etc.), then y indicates the page of the hotbar (akin to World of Warcraft's "shift + 1,2") and z indicates the actual slot in which the skill is located. This is the template for hotbar/quickbar macros:

/quickbar x y z Example: /quickbar 3 1 2

Delay Command

Deactivates the macro for a designated number of seconds. Most skills in Aion have 2 second delays after being cast, so this command is needed when placing multiple skill commands in a single macro. If you want the delay command to initiate first, you would put it in the first line of the command box. If you want the delay function to occur after a certain action in the macro has already occurred, then place it in the line after this certain action.

/delay x Example: /delay 2

Select Command

Used to select a particular target based on the criteria of the command. %self selects oneself, %previous selects the previously clicked target, %pet selects the pet and %autotarget selects the closest target in proximity.

/select %partyx Example: /select %autotarget

Communication Commands

Used in order to contact people on different channels of communication.

/party, /legion, /yell, /general, /whisper, etc..

Regarding whispers, these commands must also designate the playable character that you need to contact: /whisper [name] /whisper PhiberOpticks

Attack Commands

It is assumed that this is used in order to initiate your PC's combat mode.

/attack

Swap Weapons

Swaps the set of weapons being used for another. Same effect as Shift + Z.

(?)

Activate Soulstone

Activates/deactivates the soulstone equipped.

(?)

Variables

Registers skills into variable slots. Skills registered this way can be easily activated using '%var1' command. Used to prevent from exceeding the character limit of the macro. There are 10 variables total, from 0 to 9. The skills registered in variables can be confirmed in the 'Variables' tab.

/var # [name] /var 1 Blessing of Life I
