Thread: Macro Tutorial 101
ok, nm on that, the S needs to be capitalized. toolbarSlot11, not toolbarslot11. My bad
I use something very similar to this macro, with a full set of ten structure tools on my 2nd row of toolbar buttons, and have it walk through all ten in one click/launch of my macro. This lets me create 10 structural modules in relativley short amount of time (all I have to do is click the resources to add them, that's all). I can whip up a wall in no time.
It takes the factory 60 minutes nearly, to make 60 bricks. It takes me a whole lot less time with this, plus when I was novice architect - it gave me the full XP for it (factories only give you 10%).

Anyone figure out what causes the this crafting session has ended problem? I double and triple checked my capitalization and such but still no luck
That's normal. That's the normal message you will receive. Also you won't get an item if you are in practice mode. You will need to remove the practice mode code in order to produce real items.
And yes, with the current code there is zero percent failure rate at the moment. Personally, I don't care about that because I designed it so that it could be used faster than using your normal hand all the time. However, until this gets fixed you might as well use it to produce your big house items as it will have a 0% crit failure.
Great macro Padashar. I am having 1 problem though. For some reason after I click on the resources my crafting stage stays up on the screen on setp 2/6. then when it starts again I get the currently crafting error. I can bypass this by selecting the resources and then closing out the crafting window and it goes through without a problem. Any ideas what I should try?
Thanks in advance.

Are you using separate kits and sticking them up on separate hotkeys? If not, make sure you do that and use the parameters I put in the notes for calling them up based on their location.
Also, even if you have separate kits, you may have simply dragged the same kit to another hotkey bar. After you craft with the first one, look at your hotkey bar and you should see the kit on their counting down. If you see the count down on multiple hotkeys then you have dragged duplicate kits onto different buttons.
Let me know if this is why.
Krac I had this problem too but I solved it by making sure there are 2 commands to end the crafting session. Try adding an additional command "/createPrototype practice no item" command. Thereshould be 2 of these commands to end the crafting session. Perhaps you only had one. This solved the problem for me.
Also regarding no crit failures, I have had them using macroes but it doesn't say Crit Fail. All that happens is the crafting session ends without the crafting station displaying a timer. I discovered this when I wanted to grind away on Bone Armor chestplates. Since they require additional components (fiberplast panels and abone armor segment) I actually created these. However there were times when using a macro that the crafting session would just end. Noitem was created, no crit fail message and resources used for the creation of this item had been removed from my inventory. This happened on more than 1 occasion and seemd to occur less frequently then crit. fails when manually crafting however, ithappened often enough to befrustrating.
Oh well, thanks Padashar for posting this. You helped mefill the crafting treesin artisan and reach Nov. Architect in a very short period of time. Thismacro has made it possible forme to bring up an Architect char which I seriously didn't think was possible because ofmy other chars and r/l issues.....so thanks very much.

You are very welcome mate. I have the same issues personally so whatever I do to help myself, I always try and share with others. I like macros and technical scripting like C, C++, Actionscript, Perl, PHP, and javascript. I just wish I had a 36 hour day instead of a 24 to get everything I want to do done.
