How exactly does one create macros? Is there a place where I could find a list of all the commands, etc?
Thanks.

well that depends on which type of macro you want to make.

Assist Macro =
/macro <name> /assist <name>

Dance Move =
/macro dance /rocky

type /help or /tell helpbot help for a list of usefull commands.

Hope that helps a little

Macro is basicly a short script you can create in-game, add it to hotbar and execute by licking on it.

It looks something like this:

/macro (name- put anything you want here) /command - macro at start is what creates that button to add to hotbar. /command is whatever scripted comand you wish to do.

For list of /commands check some of script creating tools like:
RefMaker
AO Scripter

There are lots of other smilar tools and I think FC has a listing of /commands somewhere on http://www.anarchy-online.com/ too. Unfortunatly I don't have time to look for more atm.

.. and even better as a scripting reference RIGHT HERE on AOU, check out this Link to Khuri's Script Editor.

When i finally finish it... encourage me!

Trgeorge doesn't get to use my computer. Bad enough people put finger prints on my monitor, but I'm not letting anyone lick my computer!

Lol, never mind.

But on a serious note, a macro is just a command that creates a clickable button that you can drop on your hotbars that will trigger a script.

A script is a written command that when used will create an ingame effect such as dancing, attacking, speaking, whatever, scripts are a lot harder to make when they start getting complicated...

macro = /macro <macro name here(shows up on the button)> /<script filename here>

There are a few scripts built into the game, others you can write yourself.
