  • Looping a Macro
    By: Jehosephat, Posted at: Wed, Jul 23rd 4:59 PM 2003, Last Edited: Sat, Nov 13th 12:25 PM 2004
    Rated 4.82 by 46 people

    The command is:

    /ui action toolbarSlot##
    where ## is from 00 to 23, for corresponding hotkeys from the bar. The first one is 00, last on first row is 11, first on second row (if you have one) is 12, and last on that row is 23. I'm sure you can figure out the rest.

    This command pushes that button. You can even have it push itself. This allows you to loop your own macro using only the in-game features.

    My sampling macro reads thus:

    /kneel
    /sample
    /pause 3000
    /sit
    /pause 3000
    /ui action toolbarSlot00

    That's it. I'll pause during the sample, and regen during the break.

    If you want to stop the loop, just change your hotkey bar to a blank one, or delete the key (it will still be in your abilities menu, of course, only delete it from the toolbar). Once the next cylcle is finished, you will hear a null button sound to indicate the loop is done. Or just log off and back on, which works for stopping any /macro or /alias command.

      I saw on one of these macro pages someone wondering how to target corpses for loot and consequently releasing the corpse for respawn and this is what worked for me:

      /target Corpse

      pretty simple, but it works with one exception, if somebody is camping nearby it will target his corpses since it seems that it prefers to target corpses in order of the farthest distance.

      There is a much easier way then that described above.  At the end of the macro type "/macro (macro's name)" instead of all that "/ui actuon toolbarslot##" stuff.

      LOOPING A MACRO MADE SIMPLE:
      I'm using this AS I TYPE THIS,

      /unarmedhit;
      /unarmedlunge;
      /unarmedspin;
      /pause 5;
      /macro hit;


      The name of my macro is "hit" all you have to do is put /macro nameofmacro; at the end of the macro adn it'll look forever. This is wonderful for entertainers as you can throw in some /healdamage in there and make it really effective. It's as simple as that...no more /ui action toolbar CRAP.

        The benefit of using that /ui toolbar crap (as you put it) is that you can simply take the macro out of the toolbar and the macro will stop.

        Your method does not allow this.

        An infinite loop is nice, but if there's no escape clause to stop it it can become ennoying.

          I will say that /ui toolbar is very helpful but in terms of looping it is again noobish.

            that is a good point but i dont understand why people still use /ui toolbarSlots it easier to put /macro "macroname" at the end and like you said /dump to stop it. that way you can switch threw your other tool panes without cuting off you macro. I run a sampling and a crafting macro at the sametime.

        In all honesty, I haven't found a great way to make an AFK crafting macro. What I have seen that works alright is AutoIt (google search it) which you find the x, y of the mouse in various states and command it to double click, etc. This is very effective for AFK macroing all crafting. I've heard of people use it for Armorsmith, Spices and Organic Chemistry.

        I AM UNSURE, BUT I BELIEVE THIS IS AGAINST THE EULA. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

        ok heres your macro to target follow and attack, but you have to put it in the first slot of whatever bar your using.


        /ui action cycleTargetOutward;
        /follow:
        /attack;
        /pause 40;
        /ui action toolbarSlot00;





        you can change the pause to longer or shorter amount of time depending on what level your at. and the comands are case sensative so make sure you caps what i have

      Use 2 macros and get protected against the pop-up freeze:

      Macro 1, sample
      /sample;
      /pause 500;
      /dumpPausedCommands
      /macro 2;

      Macro 2, pause
      /sit;
      /pause 180;
      /stand;
      /pause 1;
      /macro 1;

      Now we got ourselfs a nice little pop-up resistant loop. You will stop sample when the pop-up is shown though. The pause will still last for 500 secs. This means that you can loose up to 500 secs of sampling time if your unlucky. It wont freeze the entire loop though. Also note that the pop-up will only affect the loop that is running when it first shows. That means that once the pop-up is up, all the coming loops will run uninterrupted. Simple as that :)

        I don't know where people get this idea that you get kicked from SWG for being idle. I've left my character idle-sampling for as much as 14 hours at a time, and still had it on when I came back. Granted, he'd "drifted" a few hundred meters away from where he started, but he was still connected.

        I think the problem people are having is one of not reading. It has been announced repeatedly that the servers are being shut down daily (at 4 AM PST) for minor updates for the next few weeks.

        Also, having a macro open and close your backpack won't stop you from going AFK. Only input from a keyboard, mouse, or other input device (or a program that simulates one of those) will keep you from getting that little AFK tag over your head.

        Down load a little macro program called "autoit" its simple, (simple, as in slightly more complicated then in game macro writing) its easy to learn, (i learnd it by reading the help files for a few minutes) and it simulated key strokes and mouse clicks. (I use it to in put resources for my crafting macro.

        you get more time by going afk yourself, then if you can open & close your inventory occassionally you won't go offline
