Ultimate Rift Macro Guide

[Veliya]

Is there a way to change the icon my button is displaying depending on my target?

For instance, if I want to fold a targetted heal and a targetted damage spell into the same macro, but make the icon display the heal if I have a target I can heal, and the damage spell if I have a target I can deal damage to?

Also is there anywhere that I can legitimately get a list of all the possible modifiers? I know that the initial post has a lot of them but it's definitely not a complete list (I just found the [notactive] one, for instance). I just want to make sure I'm not missing out on things when attempting to create macros.

Nope. #show is static once defined. The only attributes it has is related to the GCD or ICD of the ability.

I'm curious if such a beast exists. I've been updating my own local wiki with information but I'm not publishing it as it has a lot of my own meaningless (to others) notes. Nice to see something though, or failing that a place to contribute what I do find.

Do you put your finisher in the macro as well or keep it separate

Hello, I am a returning player to Rift and up until now had used my abilities bound to my Razr Naga and keyboard. I tried to write a macro for my L24 fighter. This is what it looks like:
#show Spell Sunder
Suppressmacrofailures
Cast Spell Sunder
cast Path of the Wind
cast Path of the Raptor
cast Dual strike
cast Dire blow
When I click on the key I have the macro bound to, it casts Spell Sunder, and continue to click that same key, but from then on my character does no attacks other than auto attack. Can anyone give me some advice as to what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

I would love to take this macro and make it work for my HoTs.

\\\This is The Macro\\\
#show <Motif>
cast <Motif>
wait 25
<#> \\\Use the number of your chat\\\ - "Motif" is wearing off, re-cast it now!!
party - This will switch your primary chat back to party mode for you. You can also use /say to go back to general chat.

Is there a way to make this tell me which party member needs the refresh? Or rather, limit this macro to only informing me of HoTs put on the tank?

You can do all this, unfortunately not afaik with the in-game macro system. Logitech keyboard however...

Thanks for your reply. I had dual weapons equipped ( hammer-scepter) but nothing worked after I pressed the macro bound key to cast "Spell Sunder".
After that it was ALL auto attacks....

Was I dreaming or did I read somewhere that an "alive" target modifier was to be introduced?

Something like;

target [alive] @mark01

so it would only target the marked mob if it was alive. Did it ever make it to Release?

I think the change you're thinking of is that if you use /target <mobname> it wouldn't target a dead one.

For example on Akylios where ranged would be targeting stingers... /target stinger would no select a dead one

[XaNero]

I have a question and this have been bugging me for a while. This is the macro I have in mind.

#show Swift Shot
cast Swift Shot
cast [shift] Strafe

I want to know if you can make the "#show" bit also work with modifiers. So that it will show the Strafe tooltip whenever I press shift. Does this work?

Not in game but you could try:

#show [shift] Strafe
#show Swift Shot
cast [shift] Strafe
cast Swift Shot

Note that modifiers need to come before the fall through or it will not work.

So does that mean if I press SHIFT, icon will change? Coz it doesnt for me.
