**Macro** **REQUIRES** the **STRIKEPACK CENTRAL**™ app to remain open and your smart device to stay well within **9 meters** (just under **30 feet**) of the **STRIKEPACK HORIZON**™; at least for recording & initial playback. This range may be shorter depending on local Bluetooth® interference. Ensure that you plug in your smart device to keep it charged. If you manage to use **Macro** to create your own generator, it will remain operational during playback; even if you leave with your smart device. Remember that you can always use the app on a suitable tablet; rather than tethering your phone.

To get started, you will need to record a combo (also known as a macro), specifically using the **Macro GAMEPACK**.
{% endhint %}
## Export Macro
Copying your recorded combo/macro's code to the clipboard with the "**Export**" feature:
***
Simply swipe to the bottom of your recorded combo/macro, then proceed to export. This will be confirmed by the words "**Combo copied to clipboard**". You can then go and paste the code somewhere suitable that will handle all the symbols correctly, such as a text editor like "Notepad".
***
{% hint style="danger" %}
Be aware that if you reinstall the STRIKEPACK CENTRAL™ app, delete or reset your GAMEPACK profile, or switch smart devices, you will lose your recordings. By storing codes somewhere for all your valuable recordings, you can always import & restore them.
{% endhint %}
## Online Sharing
Please be responsible when sharing codes for Macro online. For example, provide the in-game settings you used and any other requirements that could impact the results that others will experience.
## Import Macro
Starting with a blank combo/macro, then using the "**Import**" feature to paste in a code that you saved earlier, received from a friend, or found online:
***
{% hint style="success" %}
First, you will need to copy the code to your smart device's clipboard.
{% endhint %}
***
Here is an example FF14 code for you to try out!
> {"type":1,"combos":\["-32256",-28158,4610,514,"-31716","-27103","5646","-26274","6158","-27889","4622","-27400","5134","-28930","3599","-28912","3597","-28914","3597","-29943","2571","-28940","3596","-28914","3598","-28919","3600","-28392","4110","1318"]}

Hold your finger on the small square until it fully traces itself, taking you to the next screen.
| If the combo is **invalid**, proceed to clear & try another code. |

5. Importing a **Valid Combo** will be confirmed by the words "**Successfully imported combo**":
***
6. You can also import over existing combos/macros as well.

7. We encourage sharing of macros you have created on our [**Reddit**](https://www.reddit.com/r/StrikepackMacros/). There is also a button linking to it in the app. There are guidelines and examples there for you to get started!
{% hint style="danger" %} **Warning:** Our team obviously CANNOT control the type of combos or macros others create. If you are unsure that you can trust the source of the Macro code that you have acquired online, it is well advised to review which buttons are being pressed and monitor where it is navigating to on your console when you first use it to ensure nothing nefarious is taking place. Also, if your game crashes, your controller could end up performing an undesirable action repeatedly. It is highly recommended to password protect against making purchases on your console/store to prevent accidental charges!
