These can be problematic, and if many of such unsuccessful events trigger off, then it can flood the chat window awfully. If a macro performs an action that was unsuccessful, like use a skill without any resources, shield your target with no target set, or trying to resurrect a living party member, while doing so, you will receive an error message in chat area. Please do not try Traits, system menu icons, and squadron commands as they wouldn’t be fitting into use as macro icons. There are also many categories which we thought would allow you to use icons but sadly they do not (or perhaps we just don’t know yet the proper tag for those categories). While cordials display as a Macro icon, we couldn’t get to potions or ethers. Not all items in a category seem to work unfortunately. Quotations are not required for Names that are hyphenated. Please note that you will require quotations for icons, those which have more than one word. The category is assumed by default and skills for gathering, combat, and crafting jobs do not need a category tag after the skill name. If the icon doesn’t show up even if you have the name of the icon correct then please try to include the type of the icon after the quotations, e.g.: You can use icons even for pet commands, waymarks, emotes, items, and lots more. It is just like the regular skill for a specific use of the icon. These lines display the recast timer and mana cost and is especially great for combat Macros. Please type the following lines in the Macro if you do not find one according to your taste and if you want something specific which you already have in the game: There are mostly generic ones, but there are some game related ones as well. If you want to select a Macro then please go to the User Macro Window, you can click on the grey box to the side of the name of the Macro to select from a many a pages of default icons. In the user Macros interface, there are a number of default Macro icons that you can use and view easily. Although it looks like limiting for crafting or transformation Macros but most of them can be done rather easily within those lines.
In the body of a Macro, you have 15 lines, and it is plenty for most Macro purposes. In the next section we will cover how you can choose other icons as well. To select an icon for your current icon you can click on the number of preset icons that you will find next to the name field in the selected Macro. In the user Macro window, to the right you will find the selected Macro displayed. There are many filler commands as they are various emote actions. We will be covering the common ones in this post, however, if you want to go deeper you can do so at your leisure. These commands can be used to write your Macros. What it does is it opens a long list of commands. You can find a button labelled ‘Text commands’ at the bottom right corner. There is one more way to execute the Macro, you simply right click it from the user window and execute it right away. It is then activated just like other hotbar buttons in the hotbar.
You can drag a Macro from the user window to your hotbar. There is no need to rewrite new Macros when you add a new character in your kitty.
Whereas the individual tab is meant for the character that you are playing currently. If you want to find out about the shared tab then let us tell you that it is meant for all the characters (alts) that you create. There are two tabs in there – individual and a shared tab. You can select System>User Macros to create and see your Macros. There are some common lines that can be added too to see timing, affect the icon and deal with potential error messages in the game for Macros. Making Macros and Saving themįirst, let us see how you create the Macros, access them and yes, how would you save them. You will also find FFXIV Playerbase information on Reddit or Discord and you can see them as well as they are quite a useful information on the same.
