: Used to retrieve information on AA Abilities, or to activate an AA ability.

/advloot {personal | shared} {set | <"item name"> | <#index> } <loot option> [ <quantity> ]

: Extends EverQuest's /advloot command to allow control of the advloot window, including item-specific control.

/alert { add | remove | clear | list } <#list> [ <Spawn Search> ]

/beep [ <filename> ]

Invokes a system beep (beep from the built-in PC speaker).

Adding filename will play a .wav file located in your Everquest directory. This function uses the In-game sound so while a normal /beep will sound if you have EQ muted, this will not.

If you prefer you can play the sounds in the Everquest "sounds" directory by using something like

/beep sounds/filename

/beepontells [on|off]

: Beeps when you receive a tell from another player. If no parameter is provided, it toggles the current setting.

/doortarget [ clear | id <#> | <name> ]

: "Targets" a door or Switch for further manipulation (eg. /face door). The targeting of doors, switches will not show up in the target window, however MQ will show indication of your /doortarget. Can target by ID or name.

/dosocial [ list | <social name> ]

: This command allows you to list all your current socials, by name and number, or activate them by name.
It is useful in that you could activate a social by name as long as it is in your social window without having to change hotbar pages, or call a social by name from a macro.

/mqanon [*command*] [*parameters*] [*strategy*]

: Anonymization tool that filters words in-game, designed for streaming and recording. It handles both the active player and any party/raid/fellowship members. It does not grant full-fledged anonymization, but is a tool to help with the process of anonymizing words (names, guilds, etc) in-game. For more (especially for plugin authors), see the Anonymize feature.

/mqconsole [clear | toggle | show | hide]

: Brings up an external MacroQuest console

/mqcopylayout <charname> <server> [res:<W>x<H>] [nohot] [noload] [nosoc] [none]

${MacroQuest.Error}
${MacroQuest.MQ2DataError}
${MacroQuest.SyntaxError}

/continue

: When in a /for or /while loop try the next iteration.

/declare <varname> | <varname[array extents]> [ <type> ] [ local | global | outer ] [ <defaultvalue> ]

: This creates a variable or array of a particular type with a particular scope, and a default value if desired. The parameters must be given in order, but any after varname may be skipped to use the defaults.

/delay <#deciseconds>[s|m] [ <condition> ]

Fully pauses the macro for the amount of time specified, or until condition is met.

Time can be specified in 10ths of a second (a number by itself) or in seconds (number followed by an "s") or minutes (number followed by "m").

/deletevar <varname> [* global]

: Deletes the variable varname. Using * global will delete all global variables.

/doevents [ flush ] [ <specificevent> ]

: Runs the first event of any type in the queue, flushes all queued events, or runs/flushes just the specificevent event.

/endmacro

: Stops the current macro.

/for <varname> <initial-value> to|downto <final-value> [step <interval>]
/next <varname>

: This runs all commands between the /for line and the /next line, after which it increments/decrements the varname number (#1) by step number (#3) (default is 1) before running through the commands again. It will keep doing this until the varname number equals #2. You can end a /for loop immediately with /break or try the next iteration with /continue.

/goto :<labelname>

: This moves the macro execution to the location of :labelname in the macro.

/if ( <formula> ) {
<commands>
} [ else [/if ( <formula> ) ] {
<...>
} ]

: This will run all commands between the braces ( {} ) if formula evaluates to something other than 0.

/invoke ${TLO.[XXX].Action}

: This will invoke the action portion of some of the new TLO additions. This has the potential to shorten macros and make them more powerful.

/listmacros [<filter>]

: * Lists all files in the "Macros" directory that match filter * Results are sorted alphabetically

/macro <filename> [ <param0> [ <param1> [...]]]

: Executes a macro file. Supports passing parameters to the macro's Sub Main entry point.

/mqpause [on|off] | chat [on|off]

: Pauses/resumes a macro. Not using a parameter will toggle pausing on/off.

/for <varname> <initial-value> to|downto <final-value> [step <interval>]
/next <varname>

: This runs all commands between the /for line and the /next line, after which it increments/decrements the varname number (#1) by step number (#3) (default is 1) before running through the commands again. It will keep doing this until the varname number equals #2. You can end a /for loop immediately with /break or try the next iteration with /continue.

/return [value|${varname}]

: Returns to the line immediately following the call. Can return values or variables.

/seterror [ <error> ]

: * Sets ${MacroQuest.Error} to error * Omitting error will clear ${MacroQuest.Error}

/varcalc varname <formula>

: * Sets a variable directly to the numeric result of a calculation (formula) * Keep in mind that the type of the variable may itself reject this value depending on what you give it * This will not work on strings!

/vardata varname <newMQ2Datavalue>

Sets a variable directly to the end result of a MQ2Data string.
*To use this, do not put ${} around the outer data to parse.

This is more efficient than using /varset as it skips a step
/varset first converts the MQ2Data to text, and then back to MQ2Data
/vardata converts directly through MQ2Data

/varset varname [ <newvalue> ]

Sets a variable directly to a new value.

Keep in mind that the type of the variable may itself reject this value depending on what you give it.
To clear the value of the variable, you may omit the new value.

/while (condition) {
`...`
}

: Executes the commands between { and } while the expression condition evaluates to true. Note that } must be on a line by its own. You can end a /while loop immediately with /break or try the next iteration with /continue.
