Warning! Misuse or spamming of this feature can result in a ban.
Macros are a very robust feature of SS13, allowing the player to attach any verb to (almost) any key combination. The key must not already be used by the server. A list of already-used keys can be found by using the OOC > hotkeys-help verb.
Macros That Are Already In
This is a basic list of the Macros that are built into the server.
- F1 = Adminhelp
- F2 = OOC
- F3 = Say
- F4 = Me
- Ctrl + Click = Quick Grab (Make sure to have an empty hand.)
- Shift + Click = Quick Examine (Marine Use/Some Alien Castes)
- Shift + Middle Click = Point to
- Ctrl + Middle Click = Tactical Binoculars lazer target
- Shift + Click = Throwing a Hugger as Carrier or Spitting neurotoxin as a sentinel. (If you have enabled the shift click function in the alien tab.)
Managing Macros
Macros can be accessed and edited in two ways, from the in-game client by Right-click the top in-game title bar -> Client -> Macros. The other way is editing "macros.dmf" file with a text editor. The macros.dmf is in C:\Users\[YOU]\Documents\BYOND\cfg, open macros.dmf in a text editor (Notepad++ recommended, but Notepad works fine, too)
Creating a Macro
- The key used must not already be used by the server (check hotkeys-help in OOC tab)
- The command must contain dashes (-) in the place of spaces
- The full verb must be used as the command. E.g. unique-action
- The command is NOT case-sensitive. E.g. Join-as-Xeno works fine.
