===Timer===
−
Not sure if all commands work on P1999.

−
    Pause example 1:
+
<s>/timer     Timer will not go over 7 hours</s>  Doesn't seem to work in P99
−
        /pause 55, /cast 1
+
−
        This casts the spell in slot one and then pauses for 55 tenths of a second (5.5 seconds).
+
−
     Pause example 2:
+
−
        /pause 55, /cast 1
+
−
        /pause 30, /cast 2
+
−
        /pause 10, /g Send in the dogs of war!
+
−
        /pet attack
+
−
        This would cast the spell in slot one, pause for 5.5 seconds, cast the spell in slot two, pause for 3 second, tell your group "Send in the dogs of war!", pause 1 second then tell your pet to attack your current target.
+
−
        The 5.5 seconds and 3 seconds are significant because it gives your spell time to cast. You also have to account for refresh time. Macro's will keep running and will not wait on its own for your spells to cast! So in this example spell 1 might take 5 seconds to cast, 1/2 second to refresh and spell 2 might take 2.5 seconds.
+

    You can also use your AA's in macros. Use the command "/alt list" to find the alt activation number or see the Activatable AAs here.

    With the new /timer command you can add a new first line to the above forage macro so it will let you know when forage is available again:

+
−
            /pause 6,/autoinventory
+
−
            /autoinventory
+
  
−
    You can also use /timer in spell and disc macros to let you know when they are available again. Or set it to the spell duration for things like hots, debuffs, slows and dots to let you know when to recast. You can have multiple macros with /timer running, unlike /pause. You can right click (as if to edit) a macro button with a running timer to stop it. /timer can be placed on the same line as another command but not on the same line as a /pause command. The value for /timer is the time in tenths of a second exactly unlike /pause, so in the following macro the timer will end about 10 seconds before the third line runs.

This can also be used to trick the fire ele pet into casting DS on it self

    Example, spell slot 7 is ensnare (no detrimental extension), timer is a little short for time to resnare before old wears off

A Macro is a customizable hotkey with 5 lines (1 command per line and a pause), you can store 12 per page and have 10 pages of macros. Common macros, include pulling, spell casting, corpse dragging. Your macros are stored per character file "Yourcharactername_project1999.ini" in your EQ directory.

For directions on how to make hotkeys to invoke macros, see the Advanced_Techniques_Guide under "Macros".

Disciplines

Example: /disc Righteous Indignation

Pause

Pause commands are special as they are executed at the end of each macro line even though they are typed at the front. Pauses a macro sequence for 10 * x milliseconds. The actual value is a little lower, so /pause 500 is approximately 60 seconds +/- a couple seconds for server ticks. Pause cannot go over 70 seconds.

The above description has remained unedited because its meaning is unclear, but pause is 100 * x milliseconds, as detailed below in the example /pause 100 <pauses for 10 seconds> pauses 100 x 100ms = 10000ms = 10s or /pause 10 <pauses for 1 second> pauses 10 x 100ms = 1000ms = 1s

Remember to account for your latency to the server when adding pauses in your macro. A higher latency may require a longer pause than someone with a lower latency.

Format: /pause [#]

Examples:

  • /pause 10 <pauses for 1 second>
  • /pause 15 <pauses for 1.5 seconds>
  • /pause 100 <pauses for 10 seconds>
