Thanks for that. xD
I'll test with the echo when I can get online.
As an aside, is there a way to make it so that you only call out a party alert if the skill goes out?
I wish there was a way to do conditional macros. You have no idea. ...but that'd be more like programming than making a macro, which could present an "unfair advantage" to players who macro.
But if we could make something like
if ( [skill].ready ){
/ac skill <target>
/p "skill used!"
}
else if ( [skill].cooldown < 5 ) { //assuming 5 seconds
/e Your skill's almost ready. It has skill.cooldown seconds left
else /e [skill] has a long cooldown left
I would be ecstatic. But this would require the macro system to be be much more complex than needed.
Lucky for at least my own mental health, I don't see a lot of the giant ascii macros being used in a spammy fashion. (I can only think of a couple times, and they were either limit breaks or wipe messages). ...It's only the sound effect "Just used provoke <se.1>" or "SKILLNAME Just Used It. <se.1>" style ones I'll see often. (Well, more like hear. I can always hide the chatbox if needed)
