Can you make a macro to switch to instrument and auto start song?

I wish the game just picked proper item(bow/instr./melee) when skill used

I believe they allow macros but you have to manually press the button per cycle of whatever it you want to do. They don't want you setting up infinite looping ones with your only input being turning it on/off.

All I’m looking for is a macro that equips instrument and then starts the song

I believe you should read the ToS and then the following post to see what is and is not allowed : https://forum.playphoenix.online/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=5862

Ashok explicitly answers the question in the 7th post in that thread.

I know the rule on macros
I just wanna know if the games macro can equip an item and run a skill
Which is well within their guidelines

The answer is no, which is why so many people use autohotkey or mouse / keyboard macros. Supposedly on the ahk forums there is a script that works just by turning the mouse scroll wheel. that would not violate the ToS or the guidelines that Ashok outlined in that thread, so that might be worth investigating.

How about /switch - doesn’t instrument go in 1h or ranged ?

The instrument goes in the 2h slot, so you do not need the /switch command as B and N are the default key bindings for 1h and 2h, A /switch macro would work to equip the harp, but not to un-equip it, i just tried /macro Sw2h 2h 40, it successfully pulls the harp from slot 40, but will not return it back to that empty slot.

Ah I got confused with switching out for different charges - I throw a snare charge on 1 harp

So you can’t /switch the weapon?

If the 2h slot is empty, you can switch your instrument in to move to instruments, but you cannot then swap the 2h out to an empty slot to force it back to 1h, so just use B and N instead, but none of these achieve the desired solution of the OP to change weapons to instrument, then play a song with one in game macro.

you can easy with mouse or ahk

1: harp
2: speed
3: weapon
4: style conditional (side or back)
5: style anytime followup
6: style anytime

F1: 1+2
F2: 3+4+5+6 (first hit can often missfire, but when already in melee game will pick the correct style)
Do same for flue mezz and demezz as well (foe is mezzed, friend is demezzed)

As long your not useing sleep or loop mechanics your fine and there is a lot to do to improve your play ingame.
