Assist Question
Getting back into EQ after some time and I have a question on the /assist function. Is there a way to create a macro to assist a group member outside of the /assist enterTheirName way? Some way to use the F1-F5 key set or similar and while I have your attention is there a way to target oneself with a /target me/self/etc generic method?
I’ve tried a few variants of each and failed. So I don’t know if this is me making up this functionality in the past, it being removed from 99, or something else. Thanks. | ||

I think can reassign your macros from 1-6 to your f keys with alt+o.
Are you asking how to make macros because you’re shift+up entering /assist <main tank name>? There’s also %t if you didn’t know for target, so if you want to assist your target you can type /assist %t. If you’re asking how to make macros: Here’s a primer: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo-UWJGo4Ig https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo-UWJGo4Ig Here’s some more advanced stuff: https://wiki.project1999.com/Macro

No i'm cool (I think) with how to make a macro, let me see if this makes more sense...
I'm grouped with Bob and Tom, and I want to assist Tom 'cause he's a meat shield. I'd put together my super cool bard social macro: /stopsong /assist TOM /gsay assisting TOM with %T and mezzing any adds /cast 5 (my mez song) but then Tom leaves and we get Mike to be the new main assist. I have to open my macro above and change all the TOMs to MIKEs. Is there a more generic way I can write that so I don't have to edit it every time someone leaves the group? | ||

rule of thumb is to add a pause before commands in macros, The length depends on latency.
10 = 1s Code:
/pause 2, /stopsong /pause 2, /assist TOM /pause 2, /gsay assisting TOM with %T and mezzing any adds /cast 5 How this works is the macro Pauses for # but fires everything on that line (only 1 command can follow on P99) Then after the # paused it proceeds to the next line.

I thought the pauses had to be 10 per second? I’ve used /pause 30 or /pause 45 when trying to get multiple songs on a single button but gave that up to better manage 1 song per macro.

/pause 1 = wait 100ms till proceeding to the next line
/pause 30 = wait 3 seconds till proceeding to the next line. So if song in spell slot 1 takes 3.00 seconds to cast and song in spell slot 2 takes 4.00 seconds to cast /pause 1, /stopsong /pause 31, /cast 1 /pause 1, /stopsong /cast 2 or /pause 1, /stopsong /pause 41, /cast 2 /pause 1, /stopsong /cast 1 You can't fit more than 2 songs on a macro, on p99. There is also no way to detect if you 'missed a note' via macro, it will fire through till complete. Some people use single macros for each song /pause 1, /stopsong /cast # and do that for 1-8, watching when they're donte casting manually. Others slot the song/spell in the hotbar and just hit it twice, once to start the cast, wait manually and then hitting it again to stop the song.
