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.
- Crtl+Click = Quick Grab (Make sure to have an empty hand.)
- Shift+Click = Quick Examine (Marine Use/Some Alien Castes)
- 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.)
Accessing Macros
Macros can be accessed and edited in two ways.
From the in-game client
- Right-click the top in-game title bar
- Select "Client"
- Select "Macros..."
From the "macros.dmf" file
- Browse to 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 (use the OOC > hotkeys-help verb to find hotkeys already being used)
- The command must contain dashes (-) in the place of spaces
- The full verb must be used as the command. E.g. Spit-Weak-Neurotoxin-(75)
- The command is NOT case-sensitive. E.g. spit-weak-neurotoxin-(75) works fine.
