Alias command

[Papabard]

back when I played a couple years ago I had found a macro that took whoever was my target and created another macro as an assist macro

it used the alias command and basically I found it very valuable when changing tanks or assist. However doing tons of searching I cant find the post here or on eq2flames does anyone know how to make this work?

is this what you need?

For the /assist... make this macro:

/alias assist_tank:assist %t

target your tank, and then click this macro.

Now, create a new macro:

/assist_tank

using the /assist_tank macro AFTER clicking the "/alias..." macro will target your tanks target...

basically, when you type /alias <command name>:<command to do>, it saves the command name and assigns the string of command to do against the command name, statically..
So clicking the alias macro when targetting Tank1 assigns "/assist Tank1" to "/target_tank". Then, when you click the alias macro again, targetting Tank2, it assigns "/assist Tank2" to "/target_tank".

thats close. This actually wrote the name of the tank into the macro it replaced. So if I targetted myself Papabard would end up being written into the macro so /assist Papabard became what the macro created by the previous assist macro. Wish I had not uninstalled my dang game.

it was something like macro assistmt:macro alias %t macro or something like that.

[Ixoa]

how about this


Command
/alias {macro_name}:{string}

Example
/alias Mac:assist Tankname
/Mac (automatically /assists Tankname) from then on

Notes
Creates a new macro/shortcut based on the {macro_name} chosen. The text {string} is sent to the server as a command so an initial slash (/) is not required.
