Macros Are Your Friends

You can create macro objects–essentially shortcuts that will execute long commands for you simply by pressing a single key–at any time by typing “/macro macroname command,” where macroname is the name you want to give the macro, and command is the command you want the macro to execute. This will create an object that you can drag into your quick action bar, and then use like any other item. For example, a popular macro is “/macro NxtTrgt Next Target: %t,” which will read your current target, and send it in the form “Next Target: Current Target” to the chat box. This can be used to quickly tell your teammates what to attack next.

So Are Scripts

Creating scripts requires a little bit more work–and familiarity with Windows–than making macros, but you can do a lot more with them. In Windows, open up Notepad (click Start, then Run, then type “notepad”), and type in whatever commands you like, with each command on a new line. Save the file, with no extension, in a directory called “Scripts” within your Anarchy Credits directory. (Create it if it’s not there yet.) Then, while in the Anarchy Credits game, type “/scriptname” to execute the script. For example, the script…

/me is hungry.
/eat
/delay 3000
Still hungry…
/eat
/delay 3000
Man am I hungry!
/eat
/delay 3000
Uh oh; ate too much!!
/puke

…will tell everyone that you’re hungry, then eat, wait three seconds for the animation to finish, declare that you’re still hungry, eat some more, tell the world once again that you’re hungry, eat even more, then cry out that you ate too much, and show the puking animation.

Scan Often!

Nobody likes losing hours’ worth of time, experience, and looted items, and if you go out hunting indiscriminately, that’s exactly what you’re asking for. Every time you level up, your character will automatically be saved. However, if you’ve been out and about for a few hours and haven’t leveled up, you’d be wise to find a scanning terminal and save your character’s state. The credit cost is well worth the peace of mind.
