LOTRO MACRO ALIAS SHORTCUT

I needed to perform a command to add a plugin BUFFBARS everytime I logged in so... I reviewed some old posts and dug out the relevant info and thought since I had it... I would pass it on.

ASSIGNING COMMANDS TO QUICKSLOT BARS USING The SHORTCUT COMMAND
usage: /shortcut
(shortcut location) = quickslot number

EXAMPLE: /shortcut 61 /follow
RESULT: Adds /FOLLOW command to bar five at first quickslot position and Button will be Titled /FOLL.

EXAMPLE: /shortcut 62 /PLUGINS LOAD BUFFBARS
RESULT: Adds /PLUGINS command to bar five at second quickslot position Button will Titled /PLUG.

[list]Main Quickslots:
1-12

Bar 1:
13-24

Bar 2:
25-36

Bar 3:
37-48

Bar 4:
49-60

Bar 5:
61-72[/list]

The TARGET Alias
EXAMPLE: /shortcut 63 /say Kill >>;target<<
RESULT: You will say "Kill >>SELECTIONS NAME<< when you click the third quickslot position in bar 5.

Make sure you have NOTHING selected when first creating a /shortcut with ;target. (Otherwise it will always output the name you had originally selected instead of inserting the new name of your new selection as the ;target.)

Also make sure you have SOMETHING selected when you use the button or it will out put ;target instead of the selection's name.

A problem occurs when the button is TITLED /say, ALL the other buttons that "say" something will have the same title.

So ... you might want to write an alias.
THE ALIAS COMMAND
Here's what the game spits out for instructions when you type /alias
Usage: /alias < ; | add ; | remove ; | list | clear | clearlist | shortcut ;>

No wonder no one makes alias's

All of the alias commands are:
[list]/alias - Adds a new alias.
/alias add - Replaces old alias with new instruction using old name. (confusing eh? Why not /alias replace?)
/alias remove - Removes an alias.
/alias list - Lists all alias'.
/alias clearlist - Clears ALL alias' in the alias list.
/alias shortcut - Adds an alias to a button[/list]

EXAMPLE: /alias ;whstl /whistle
RESULT: when you type ;whstl, you perform the command /whistle
EXAMPLE: /shortcut 64 ;whstl
RESULT: The fourth button in clickslot bar 5 titled /WHIS will cause you to whistle when you click it.

EXAMPLE: /alias ;donthelpme /t ;target The next time I don't need your help ;target , I won't ask for it.
RESULT: The person you have targetted gets a tell and they get all upset because you've asked them not to hit on your mobs.
EXAMPLE: /shortcut 65 ;donthelpme
RESULT: Eventually the whole server hates you for being such a snob.
