[Guide] Rift game macros and console commands

A macro in the context of video games refers to a set of instructions that can be issued together with one input or “hotkey.” Rift supports macroing via an in-game menu. Opening that menu brings up a panel with a list of macro slots on the left, and the macro fields on the right. You can give your macro a name and select an icon for it. You can also have a macro inherit the icon and cooldown timer of some ability using the following syntax:

PHP Code:

#show ability

e.g. #show Commander’s Order will cause the macro to inherit the icon and ability icon of the skill called “Commander’s Order”.

Syntax

When listing commands in the macro interface, you do not need the leading slash, so rather than /cast, you would just use cast. The following illustrates:

PHP Code:

#show Commander's Order cast @mouseover Commander's Order

Basic Macro Commands

/saveequip followed by an index number (e.g. “/saveequip 1″) – This saves the currently equipped set of equipment to the specified index.
/loadequip followed by an index number (e.g. “/loadequip 1″) – This loads the saved set of equipment from the specified index.
/cast followed by an ability name (e.g. “/cast Motif of Tenacity”) – This casts the specified ability. You can specify a target for that ability using special targeting syntax (e.g. /cast @mouseover Commander’s Order)
/wait followed by a number of seconds (e.g. “/wait 1″) – This is used to tell the game engine to wait the specified number of seconds before issuing the next command.
/stopcasting – This tells the game engine to stop the current action and is a necessary intermediate step between chained macro commands.
/use item – This uses the item named (e.g. /use Blessed Tome)
/help – This lists the Rift recognized / commands.

Special Commands

/%T – displays the target selected in chat.
@Focustarget – Cast a spell at a target of a focused target, E.G. /cast @focustarget Soul lance
@Lasttarget – Cast a spell on your last target before your current target
#show “ability” – Causes the macro to inherhit the icon and ability icon of the skill.

Slash Commands

Called "Console Commands" in the game manual, slash commands can be used in the chat channels or even inside macros. They're called "Slash Commands" because they are preceded by a / when used. They can be used in chat by pressing enter then typing the /command. They can be used in macros the same way.

We've tried to group these to make them easier to find. Commands may be found in more than one category.

Remember to precede all commands with /. For example: /bow /chat /afk
