hehe read it again Alich... I'm just pointing out the obvious because they obviously don't want people afk macroing with all the attempts they've made to stop looping, etc.

But "macros or other programs" is not the same as "macroing programs or other programs"... but read it whichever way makes you feel better, I didn't write it...

Yeah, I don't really care. Just don't do it and you can't have any trouble. I don't think my computer can stay un-crashed long enough for me even to be considered afk macroing anyway I almost got 1k of XP a while back! I've given up on the concept. Computers need too much love to leave them grinding away.

How do you set macros for sample for example that run until you interrupt them. Like an infinite loop in programing?

Also how do you referance macros in macros?

Finally, i've seen it before but how do you referance radial menu and hotkeys in macros?

If someone could answer these i'm sure many would appriciate it .

Thanks ilcoz wavingstrider

bump i would like to know as well

You can loop macros
set up the macro as a button in your toolbar then at the end of your macro call that button with the /ui action toolbarslot## where ## is the number of the spot
example: first slot on the top bar is 00, the end is 11, second bar is 12 and 23
to end the macro just move the icon for your macro to another slot

macroing away with no concept of the art of musicianship and entertaining. . . . . . . . . . .you abviously havent caught my show.. . . .

but blah blah all you want, all you have to do is use the macro option in game silly billys. . . . .

but I stop here as not to incriminate myself . . .

Nymm, if you want to see the skills that a Master Musician and a Master Entertainerhave, come to the cantina in Kaadara some evening, on Naritus server, while I'm there and you'll find out. I never unatend macro. If I go AFK I stop playing, put my AFK flag up and tell everyone I'm going AFK.

Bravo!

I wish everyone would do this. Three cheers for you, at least, for doing this.

Thank you, Brilliant.

The command to macro "press" a key on your toolbar ( Like F3 ) is /ui action toolbarSlot##

The numbering starts at 00 so F1=00, F5=04, F12=11 You get the picture.

You can use these to "loop" a macro as well. Just make sure the macro is dragged to a toolbar slot and that you activate the same slot from the macro. So if my macro is in slot 24 then I would add /ui action toolbarSlot23 to the end of the macro. To stop this, just drag the macro to a diffeent slot, your running macro will reach that line and find nothing to run in slot 24

/ui action toolbarSlotXX is great for doing the fast switch between armor and cloths. drag all the items you wear to the toolbar and write a macro that activates each in turn.

Will this loop ability be taken away in the future? Who knows. It is there now as well as all the other macro commands. I believe in using every tool given to me. However, for those of you who would like to do the overnight sample while you sleep thing, there is a section that forbids "Unattended gameplay" in the EULA you agee to every time you play the game.

I'm not condeming or condoning here. Just pointing out that 1.) The macroing has been given to us as a tool to automate repetative tasks 2.) unattended gameplay has been addressed by sony in the EULA

Do as you will. If it becomes an issue sony will address it.

If this is allowed, and I would be surprised, it will become an infinite loop. When you call /onehand attack, it will do all the commands. Doing the /onehandattack command is like taking out the command and putting what it does in its place. In effect, you would be repeating the first three commands over and over and over and over and over...well...you get the point.

I want to set up a macro to switch weapons and switch toolbars. Is there a /command for either of those actions? thx for any help.

thats what im trying to do, i figure that a macro can be set up to "call" another hotbar slot (that you put your weapon in) and then to change toolbars to the relavent specials. going to look over some fan sites and if i have any luck, ill post it here.
