Is there a %t for pets?
 
I feel like I have seen someone else do this before in a hotkey, unless they just changed the name of their pet in the hotkey every time the summoned... but is there a shorthand way to just name your pet? For example if I wanted to say

"Jobober is attacking %t."

A way to where I don't have to change the pet's name every time, but rather it would just fill it in the way %t does for whatever you have targeted. %pet and %p do not work.

Thanks

Solution: Don't make such retarded and unnecessary hotkeys. You make hotkeys to communicate quickly. Telling your group members which mob you're attacking by spamming group chat is a total noob move and its redundant. You shouldn't have to tell your group you're attacking so and so mob with your pet, it should be done automatically.

Yeah, you shouldn't have to tell your group that you're healing them either, or during raids you shouldn't have to have a message when you're doing a CH chain either. Good logic.

It's %m obv ~ <3

At least I think it is. If you have the mob on target then your key macro would be something like this: /g %m is attacking %t!

Once again you show you have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to EverQuest.

The benefit of announcing heals is so that others don't overheal, and thus waste their mana.

The benefit of announcing within a CH chain is to communicate your timing to the next cleric in the chain.

The benefit of announcing what mob your pet is attacking is.... there is no benefit.

You have failed at detecting sarcasm!

Mardur 01-21-2011 09:10 PM

Uhh... I detected his sarcasm, and disagreed with the point he was trying to make. Same back at ya?

hence the word redundant and "quick communication." you have to communicate healing to avoid multiple clerics healing and wasting mana, derp derp noob. Hotkeying "/g Xober attacking %t" doesn't have any benefits.

have you ever thought why there isn't a %t command for pets? because the creators realized that ever having to say your pets name would be totally fkn worthless.
