Xeno Custom Macros

Post by Radimir » 28 Nov 2016, 20:58

So I am going to ask how to write a certain macro. I read the Macro 102 guide, but am not sure what verbs to set in the macro/how to write it in order to get the game to perform the macro.

Also I thought any other useful macros could be posted here, to help make the hive more robust:

The macro Im wanting to write does the following: Drops current held item, swaps hands, drops current held item. That way I can pounce and then hit macro button to drop two huggers on a marine's chest.

EDIT: forwardslashN corrected me. Don't use the ugly version.

Drop is .northwest drop, swap is .northeast swap-hand. Don't ask why. So the macro is ".northwest\n.northeast\n.northwest" "drop\nswap-hand\ndrop"

Alternatively you can define Q with repeat to .northeast\n.northwest "swap-hand\ndrop" . Then press Q once to drop like used to be and if you hold it it wil also drop the second thing. It's a bit slower though.

I use G for toggle darkvision for be stealth and robust.
Toggle-Darkvision

To stomp the ground as crusher, i use F.
Stomp-(50)

Anyway, Macro hide is good for stealth when you're a runner.
