Stuff like "dizzy, blind, stack bleeds" I can see the point of. But queueing up ten hit3s (for instance) or three intims doesn't seem worthwhile. Pressing the same key a bunch of times isn't drastically harder than macroing up a number of attacks and it's easier in the heat of battle to stop pressing that key than to dump your macros (including CoB of course) and then clear the combat queue.

Why waste time with three intims if the first one worked? Why commit to ten cho moks without knowing whether the states will still be there when you've finished? Come to think of it, why warcry a guy who's dizzy on the floor?

Macros are tremendously useful but there are limits to what it's sensible to attempt with them.

I've never seen a macro with that command. Is that to replace the schematic number?

/ui action toolbarSlot00

/pause 1;

/ui action defaultButton;

I get the same problem when Itry to run that command, the way round it is to delete the command and make your survey macro something like:


/survey;

/pause 25;

/stand;

/pause 2;

/macro survey;


the box still appears, but the stand command means that you can carry on sruveying AND only activet the 'dig for big pile of resources' option when you come back.


It works, I can get through about 6 k o resources while I sleep and get my 20k survey xp

ya i did that for a while but i was able to get this /ui action defaultButton; to work now. I have in the macro 3 times lol. Once afer the sample once after the sit and once at the end of it. I did this because sometimes the first 2 wouldnt catch it but the last usally did


so i have it like this now

/sample;

/pause 60;

/ui action defaultButton;

/sit;

/pause 80;

/ui action defaultButton;

/stand;

/pause 10;

/kneel 10;

/ui action defaultButton;

/macro sample;(the name of the macro)


this work perfectly for me with the attri. that i have set up. i never run out of action or mind.

lol with the /ui action defaultButton; i run into the problem ever now and them when i am crafting during this macro the /ui action defaultButton; will make me continue on in the crafting process before i am ready.

i am still working on my crafting macro that works for me.lol

thanks for everyones hard work and info on the treads have help very much.

Check your spacing.

It's /ui action defaultButton

It's for sampling. It works very poorly on crafting.

It will close the sample pop-up box.


/sample;
/ui action defaultButton;
/macro MegaSample;

That macro will sample at the maximum rate, but it WILL burn through your action bar.
If you have some kind of buff (food/med), you will sample at the maximum rate allowed by the game (once every 30 sec, I believe) until you stop the macro.


Back when I thought that surveying might be a decent source of FSxp, I got buffed and sampled non-stop for 3+ hours by using this macro.
Unfortunately the xp cap is so low that the 1:10 conversion rate really made this method useless.

However, if you're grinding survey xp for the sake of skills, it'll get you there fairly quickly.
