Only one of my bars work.. Anyone else got this problem? I filled my first toolbar with spells and clicked next get to tool bar number 2. Made some macros for pet commands and loaded them in the toolbar but when I click for instance "1", it starts to cast the spell i got on toolbar number 1 even if number 2 is selected Oo

Usually thats the result of a double-bind. Try clearing out each of the hotbar slots that are giving you trouble and then press the key and see what happens.

Current=Whatever you currently have your reticule on

Oh, i figgered that part out. The problem is the the reticule shifts whenever you single click on anything. So unless you have ANOTHER macro set up to change the reticule back to the previous target, you MAY wind up trying to cast Greater heal on the creature you just attacked rather than your buddy, which will often result in death.

So your choices are, use a macro to get target, then click said target OR
use a macro to switch reticule, use macro to activate.
Either way, you are not saving any steps, which is sort of the whole REASON for macroes.

Now, this was also a problem in the 2D client, but not insurmountable due to UOA. However, since one of the (proposed) intents of the new client was to replace third party programs, this reticule targetting reliance is a little underwhelming, as it does not differentiate between good and bad actions. Meaning it is BAD to attempt to heal a monster, and it is BAD to try to case E-bolt on a party member. Both of which are more than possible outcomes of the reticule option.

I see, I see. You make a good point.

Only thing I can think of is setting macros for Offensive Spells with a TargetNextHostile before the cast, but then that will have your reticule jumping all over the screen if there are a few mobs around...

I am not sure what is meant by stackable, but I can stack money in my backpack by drag and drop on top of preexisting money. ??

That should work Drakkor or just drop "on" your backpack. It should auto stack
