Self heal macro

Anyone good with macros? I need one that binds a key to do Psionic Healing on myself

I can't target myself, and when I try to heal myself in groups, whenever I click the psionic healing button (even when I'm NOT target ANYTHING), it automatically targets the nearest friendly...

So the only thing I can do atm is turn around, run away from the group until I can't see anyone on screen, and then heal myself... it's bs

    you could try /$$bind F1 "Target_Self $$ +PowerSlotExec <the slot your heal is in the first slot is 0>" and dont include the chevrons.

    Thanks, it works, but there's an issue with the macro

    /$$bind E "Target_Self $$ +PowerSlotExec 5"

    That's what I'm using
    When I press it, it targets me and starts healing, but it won't stop until it's fully charged / I don't have energy. I tried pressing it again during a charge, but it just keeps going, any suggestions?

    Edit: Quick fix, I can just press the regular spell to stop it, but I would still love a solution to this!

    Been trying to solve this problem myself.

    Playing around right now with some commands... you can bind something to PowersCancelAllActivations which seems to cancel any powers going, however the interface seems to handle this weird. The "charge bar" still keeps running on my screen eventhough the effect has stopped and I can move around freely.

    The other option which I don't really like is doing a -PowerTrayExec 5 to turn it off to a different key or have the button toggle between binds...but I'd rather not do that since it can get out of sync, although I suppose worst case scenario if it did you'd hit the button twice and it'd work fine.

    I have been running this macro and it seems to work rather well but i do have to double tap the key to get it to shut down. or maybe i am missing something. I havent been able to really put a good hard test on it in a lair yet but it works while i am standing next to the test dummies. I will do some more testing on it tonight and see what happens. When i use this macro it is more of an ohh sh%$ button for my self and i have the same macro set up for memebers of my team with corasponding function keys. So for me its a big emergency energy dump. fyi slot 7= mindful reinforcement, slot 8= psionic healing.

    /$$bind F1 "target_self $$ +PowerSlotExec 7 $$ +PowerSlotExec 8"

    Confirmed a way to do this in the other thread I had created:

    http://forums.champions-online.com/showthread.php?t=77850&page=2

    Many thanks to Neeyon!

    /bind key "+down$$target_self$$+PowerTrayExec #"

    This will run like normal powers, so only as long as you hold down the key, but will target you first.

    If it's a power that doesn't keep you stuck in place, you may need to use something other than +down if you're flying.

    Awesome guys, thanks a lot!

    Now, I'm more then pleased with this, but can we take it one step further?

    Currently we have the following in the macro:
    - Target self
    - Use heal

    Can we do this? :
    - Target self
    - Use heal
    - Clear target

    This way, next time I click heal, it will heal the nearest friendly again, instead of me!

    You should be able to do:

    /bind key "+down$$target_self$$+PowerTrayExec #$$target_clear"

    Is there a way to target your last target instead of clearing your target with this macro?

    Closest I've got is target_enemy_near in place of target_clear, works pretty well.

    I actually use 'targetenemynear' as the last argument in my self-heal binds, because I want to get right back into combat after healing myself...

    I can't target myself,

    There is an option to set target self as a keybind in the options.

    Here's what I've got from this so far:

    I have protection field in slot 3, and empathetic healing in slot 4

    to back off, healing myself (empathetic healing):
    /bind x "+backward $$ target_self $$ +PowerslotExec 3 $$ target_clear"

    apply protection shield and keep on fighting:
    /bind F1 "target_self $$ +PowerslotExec 2 $$ target_enemy_near"

    heal myself and keep on fighting:
    /bind F2 "target_self $$ +PowerslotExec 3 $$ target_enemy_near"

    Powerslotexec 1 will trigger the power in slot 2. Reads as powerbuilder/slot 1/slot 2 or something, I guess...

    just thought I'd post what I used as I came here after trying to use my shield in a group, which of course would try and select a teammate first, and then apply a shield on the second keypress. Took me a while to figure out because I was dying before I could press it a second time :p

    why not just turn off assist target. then if you target an enemy youll just heal yerself.

    It depends on how you like to do things. Personally, I prefer to have full control of the commands I input into the game and just do "/bind Add target_self", making the + on the numpad my target self button.

    This gives me a bit more flexibility across all my characters, and also prevents me from committing into something that may or may not fit the situation. This is quite convenient for me as - is my clear target, and 8, 9, / and * select my team mates. I usually have Alt+1, Alt+2, Alt+3 or ` for my left hand, and numpad 5 and 6 for my right as my support skills, so I've got a standard across all my characters.
