  • Assign spells(via right-click)

In addition to plain item counters, each counter bar cell can hold any spell bar action, just like a Spell Bar slot. Right-click a cell to set what it does:

  • Spell — cast a spell.
  • Macro — run one of your macros (Set Macro).
  • Ability — use your weapon’s Primary or Secondary ability (Set Ability).
  • Skill — use a skill (Set Skill).
  • Script — toggle a Legion script on/off (Set Script).
  • Dress agent — trigger Dress or Undress for any dress-agent configuration belonging to the current character (Set dress agent).

Cells without an icon (scripts, skills, and graphic-less macros) show an abbreviated text label instead (e.g. PvP for a dress action), and running script cells are tinted green like the spell bar.

Action cells support per-cell hotkeys, assigned through the shared hotkey Set popup (right-click a cell → Set hotkey). Cell bindings participate in the centralized Hotkeys system. Additionally:

  • Keybind labels — optionally show each cell’s bound hotkey as a small label (Options > Counters > Display hotkeys on counters, off by default).
  • Active-action highlight — spell/ability cells tint red while the ability/toggle spell is active, matching the spell bar.
  • Hotkey flash — pressing a cell’s hotkey briefly flashes the cell background before performing the action.

By default counter bar cells scale their graphics to fill the cell. You can disable that and draw them at native size under Options > Counters:

  • Disable item scaling — draw item-counter graphics at their native art size.
  • Disable spell/ability icon scaling — draw spell/ability gump icons at their native size.
