Sharpshot timer alert macro

[Rido]

I was wondering what I could type in my sharpshot macro to let me know when it's ready for use, like Wars who use it in their Provoke macros. Can anyone help me out?

/p Using Sharpshot Blah Blah Blah
/ja Sharpshot <me>
/recast Sharpshot

5 minute cooldown.

so not really.

/ja "Sharpshot" <me>
/wait 60
/wait 60
/wait 60
/wait 60
/wait 60
/echo Sharpshot ready!

Unfortunately using any other macro aborts a macro like this, so it isn't very useful. I'm not sure if you can put multiple wait commands in a row either.

you can post multiple /wait, and max wait is 60.

your 100% right ^^

but any other macro, like u say, will cancel this one, so it doesen`t make any sence to me, i have a

/recast Sharpshot

and other recast stuff in one, so i only need to hit this one and i see all my recast times

i have that for almost every job and for me there is nothing better since macros will cancel each other

/recast "Sharpshot"
/target <stpc>
/ja "Sharpshot" <me>

This way everytime you use this macro, it will tell you how much time left first.
The target <stpc> will give you a pause, if the timer isn't ready just cancel out. If it's ready and you want to use it, click accept on anything and the next like /ja will kick in.

I use similar method with almost everything now, utsusemi, sneak/trick, etc.

This macro would also work if you were able to put in more then 5 lines for a macro otherwise this one is 2 lines to big.

The one Jei did is probably the best way you'll get, the <stpc> and <stnpc> are pretty nice for putting a pause in were you can cancel out the macro. Works nicely if you are macro'ing Unlimited Shot to a specific WS or just macro'ing it to a normal shot.

/recast "Unlimited Shot"
/ja "Unlimited Shot" <me>
/equip ammo "Patriarch Protector's Arrow"
/ws "Sidewinder" <stnpc>

Then just have to watch for either the animation or the blue arrow, if you get blue arrow without animation then US failed and just cancel out and see what your recast timer says. Of course you can alter it and add in /target <stpc> if you want it to wait before doing US so you can look at the recast timer. Probably player preference there.
