Each NXBT macro line is composed of the buttons/sticks being set and the amount of time they are set for. A simple macro follows:
B 0.1s
0.1s
The above macro is the B button being pressed for 0.1s and no controls being set for 0.1s. This is effectively a single B button press.
A slightly more complicated example follows:
A B 0.5s
B 0.1s
0.1s
This new macro, first, has both the A and the B button being pressed for 0.5s. Next, the A button is released and the B button continues to be held for an additional 0.1s. Finally, no controls are set for 0.1s.
The above macros deal with only button-based input. A stick input example follows:
L_STICK@-100+000 0.75s
1.0s
Above, we're setting the left analog stick to 100% in the left horizontal direction. To explain, analog stick positions are composed of two values: and X position and Y position. You can think of both as positions on a traditional X/Y plane, with X being the horizontal component and Y being the vertical component. An X/Y of 0/0 means that the analog stick is in a neutral position (no input), while an X/Y position of 0/100 means our stick is tilted 100% up.
To be clear, the first numeric argument after L_STICK@ is the X value and the second is the Y value. Eg: An X value of 50 and a Y Value of 25 on the right stick would be R_STICK@+050+025.
As such, a neutral stick position is as follows:
L_STICK@+000+000 0.75s
1.0s
