So how do I make my character lie on beds? Sometimes I find a sort of inn that doesn't really offer the inn functionalities (Camp Drybone comes to mind) there are beds but I can only sit on it. Is lynig down an emote I will unlock later in the game or as a sidequest? Sometimes when it's night in game I want to let my character sleep while I do other real-life stuff like make food, etc.

The lying-down emotes are only available inside of personal houses for some reason.

Ah that sucks. I'm an adventure dammit, I have to be able to sleep wherever my feet takes me. xD

Mmmyep. The next best thing is either repeated use of the /doze macro or just finding a comfortable-looking sitting position. Some of the "sleeping" motions look strange, though: I know highlander males and lalafell snooze soundly enough, but miqo'te women lounge like they're talking about boys and elezen ladies pose in a very provocative manner, neither of which look quite comfortable for sleeping.

I'm not well versed with the macro usage. Can you give an example of a macro that repeats /doze every interval like say 1 second until I stop it?

I'm not in game to test it, but you might be able to rig something up with

/doze
/wait 5
/doze
/wait 5

and just paste that as many times as you can. There's a limit to macro characters, though, so you wouldn't be able to make it last hours. The /doze animation while standing or sitting seems to be mostly-nodding off and then jolting back awake, though.

You can also combine wait commands onto the same line (was added because crafters matter too).

So something like

Code: (Select All)

/doze motion <wait.1>

SE stated once that they only allow lying down in homes is to make it harder for ERPers to do their dirty business.

ERP'ers find a way... they always find a way. ;3

Thanks! That frees up more spaces. I figured I can just use the /shut command while sitting. Using /doze makes my character open his eyes before the emote starts.

EDIT: Do wait commands accept decimal points? (E.g. 1.25, 1.5, etc)

I haven't seen any ERPers though, at least, not yet, or publicly.

Sadly no. Wait commands are only whole numbers. You could write /wait 1.99999 and it'll be treated as /wait 1.

SE's macro system is designed to be helpful, but not powerful enough to make the game play itself for you. (Oh if only it allowed scripting or conditionals, crafting macros would never be the same).

It's still pretty handy for a lot of stuff though, especially if you play on a controller like I do. I have some macros that adjust my crossbar/hotbars when certain skills are used. (Like DPSing as a healer, certain tank stances, etc).

Also good for adding marks or text onto actions for battle.

Or daydreaming about cute little bunny rabbits frolicking in fields full of flowers and rainbows and more cute little bunny rabbits.

Edit: It's also what Warren sama secretly daydreams about. :3

That makes sense. I was actually trying to chain two of my skills which I normally chain. Guess that won't do. I did end up making a "transformation" sequence between gearing up and going back to my casual clothes though. xD

I can't imagine them actually saying this.

Implying possibly...

I believe they said something along the lines of not wanting players to be "abusive" toward each other. I just put 2+2 together.

In-game RP help, sleeping?
