After creating a macro, the name cannot be changed, although the command string may be edited by right clicking the icon and selecting 'Edit'.Īlternatively, pet command icons can be used. The icon appears as a generic grey button with your text overlaid. However, the full text always appears in tooltips. Names can be anything you wish, although only a limited amount of text can be shown in the macro icon. Checking this guide, as well as some helpful links, hopefully you, too, can master this medium of control. But, macros are not a way to set up complex attack chains. Macros are very flexible, making for a near endless variety of options. Macros in City of Heroes/Villains are an excellent way to bind frequently used powers, actions, or text in a simple button, just like any power button. The '' (quotation) marks are not required, except around the command parameter when using more than one command. Name should be replaced with a character string to describe the macro, such as GO or Cheer.Ĭommand should be one or more Slash Commands.
