Macros

I need a idea of how to make a ingame Macro system where you use the keyboard keys to use jutsus.

So far what I've been suggested is that every key can be one of the hand seals and when you complete the correct hand seal you can perform the jutsu. At first i liked the idea but then i though it would be anoying to do the hand seals every time you want to do a jutsu.

All Help would be appreciated thx

This has been thought of before, being a HUD or something with handseals to click. It would take a lot of keys to put the macros on, but being an anime game, it's used to a lot of unnecessary junk in it.

So I don't recommend it, being that it could be annoying at times, and it would take a lot of space on the keyboard.

Then you're in the wrong forum.

The easiest way for me would be to make a verb with a number. Put the verbs with numbers 1-12 in macros, eg. seal 1, seal 2, adding the number to a list. Have a "execute" verb, executing the hand seals in that list. If the series of numbers matches a certain ability, use it.

But that's my way, you could think of others.

How about you select a certain jutsu from your jutsu list and it appears on their screen? When they press a certain key, it will activate the jutsu.
Jutsu
    parent_type=/obj
    proc/Attack(mob/owner)
    Genjutsu
        Bunshin_No_Jutsu
            Click()
                usr.client.screen+=src//you might want to set the screen_loc before this, but it's up to you based on where you put the HUD.
            Attack(mob/owner)
                //put what happens when you use the jutsu
                                
    Ninjutsu
    Taijutsu
    Kinjutsu

mob/verb/Execute_Jutsu()
    for(var/Jutsu/J in client.screen)
    //there would be some if checks here, but we're only searching for one jutsu object right?
        J.Attack(src)//call it's attack proc
        break

//Now set a macro for some letter as 'Execute-Jutsu' w/o the quotes of course.
