AH ok..I guess what I am really asking is how do you make the macro?? :)
I understand you can put the bow in say 8 the sword in 9 and the shield in 10 amd switch between them using 3 keys. What I'm looking for is how to make a single action key(macro) that switches to the sword/shield.
a) put weapon/shiled in a hotbar slot
b) macro command is /useshortcut x y where x is the number of the hotbar and y the number of the slot (e.g. 9 2 for second slot in hotbar 9)
I did this out of my memory, so don't shoot me if the commands are slightly incorrect ;)
Just be careful when you do this. It sometimes forgets to equip one or the other. I can't tell you how many times I put away my bow, equipped my shield, and stated beating on a lizardman with my bare fists.
