I had some stupidly long alias' to make it so I could use a single slash command for all my chars using either ihc/cwtn/kiss … it worked, but hella long and convoluted. I also was not interested in making an endless list of hotkeys that have multiple lines on them for which ever char I am using to drive the group at a particular time... if I can't find a hotkey, I know at least I can type a simple command

I only use bst and ber plugin, but even with only /ber & /bst i find it frustrating. They share a lot of the same syntax, especially core functions that you would likely want to broadcast anyway

So I did something smarter then a giant nested ${If[]${If[]}} blah blah blah… that would grow longer with more cwtn class plugins...

/alias /cwtn /docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName}

Now I can just /dgge /cwtn pause on , /cwtn mode 0/1/2 etc



It also means, if you use only Kiss and CWTN plugins you can more simply make a nested ${If[]} , below you could simply change the kissassist.mac to ihc${Me.Class.ShortName}.mac and the chaseon/chaseoff to ihc ChaseOn/ihc ChaseOff

/alias /mychaseon /docommand /${If[${Macro.Name.Equal[kissassist.mac]},chaseon,cwtn mode 2]}
/alias /mychaseoff /docommand /${If[${Macro.Name.Equal[kissassist.mac]},chaseoff,cwtn mode 1]}
 
I have to keep toggling between windows to go between modes, to set a camp or to go into chase mode (which I use A LOT due to missions and other things) on with multiple CWTN plugins, and 1 on KA (/camphere, /chase 1). I wasn't away that /cwtn was a valid command that could be broadcasted.

Also, I have a hotkey for telling everyone to dismount (/bcaa //dism) but am unsure how to tell everyone to get on a mount because we're gonna run through 3 zones, or maybe to click your shrink ring once because doorways on a mount are a PITA (I've been using 1 character to shrink everyone when I need it). Any tips?

/cwtn isn't - he made an alias to do it.
