Has anyone discovered if it's possible to concat text via hotbars? For instance, I thought a good way to keep track of buffs/debuffs is every round, spam chat with what's still going on. So, something like /story Round #3, Bless, Bull's Strength, Blindness would be the end result I'm looking for.

However, I was hoping I could hotbar each effect so I could just push the button and it adds an effect, rather than retyping each time, or each time an effect drops or goes up. Anyone tried this or know if it's possible?

I think this would be easier to do if you did the modifiers rather than just the text. It is easy enought to keep a running total of modifiers on a character's ability tab and just drag and drop it into the mod box or chat window. The problem is different characters will often have different mods so it is easier to let the players keep track of each character.

If you really want to do text I think it probably would be eaziest you by making new slash commands.

Griogre, do you mean perhaps creating a slash command to take my text, and amend it to what's currently the text in a particular hot button?

If hot button 4 is /story Effects:

I make a slash command /add. The functionality could be /add text1, resulting in hot button 4 being: /story Effects: text1. Hrm....thanks for the input. :)
