Costume w/ Power Bind?

Hey Champions, my binding is a little on the elementary side. I know how to bind a walk toggle key and a few others. But I had a great concept character and I thought I remember seeing somewhere a tell-all how to bind a key to change costumes and activate a power at the same time. Mainly, I am looking for a bind string that I can use to bind activation of my travel power with the costume change, and back again. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Well, the command would be a bit complex to switch costume and (only) activate a travel power. I can provide a simple one to change costumes and active the travel power, though:

    Let's say you wanted to use the 'R' key...

    /bind r "setactivecostume 0 1$$+powertrayexec 15"

    For the costumes, you always use a 0, then the number for the costume slot, with 0 as the 1st costume slot.

    So, /setactivecostume 0 0 would switch to the first costume, and /setactivecostume 0 2 would be the 3rd costume slot, etc.

    There are way better binding gurus around than I, however...

    Note that teleport is much more of a problem than other travel powers, excpet tunneling, because you have to use it again to turn it off.

    If you are using teleport try:

    /bind r "+powertrayexec 15$$setactivecostume 0 1$$+powertrayexec 15"

    Hmmm...using /bind r "setactivecostume 0 1$$+powertrayexec 15" doesn't seem to activate my travel power. I am using flight on this toon, and it changes the costume but not activate the flight. Hmmm....

    Heh...I was playing with that for about 15 minutes yesterday trying to figure out what I had wrong. Fourteen it is! Thanks again.

    Another consideration is that you have a cooldown on costume changes. It will only let you change costumes every so often - if you try you get an annoying message across your screen and filling up your chat log.
