Anyone know how to stop a macro, besides letting it just run out?

Thanks ahead of time for your response.

you could always log out. Unless of course like me you chose eclipse, the server where you log out whenever you want, but getting back in takes time. Seems like a fairly effective anti macro strategy to me. Maybe the SoE theorists can add this one to their "reasons why SoE is evil and hates you" pamphlets.

Is there a command to stop a macro?

There is no stop command. The only way to stop a macro is to let it run its cource or log out.

schwags,

Try coding one iteration of the macro and save it to a PF key. And code the end of the macro to hit the PF key (/ui action ...Slotxx).

That way, themacro is repeating itself but when you wantit to stop, change the panel.The macro will hit the slot again, but since its a different panel, it won't trigger thecontinuation of the macro.

Faster than a relog.

Just make sure nothing is in that slot on the new panel. Might kinda suck to use up a really good med kit or something because you misfired. Or accidentally go prone during hand to hand combat with something big.

Your better off leaving a blank space next or near to your macro and moving the macro out of the old spot into the blank spot atleast until it fires again. (youll hear the unused click sound)

I have a macro that tries to use a particular slot every 15 seconds. It uses the slot then calls itself. I then put my flight tickets in that second slot. Presto instant auto shuttle taker. Now I can go grab a bite to eat waiting for the next shuttle and know that when I come back I will have taken the shuttle.

I leave the macro running, get kinda used to the sound, and just put new tickets in its place as i play.

you guys dont make ANY sense to me. i make my macro on the macro page. it goes for 2 1/2 hours, untill the end and then stops. I dont have it looped. I just want to stop it.

You've already been answered. Since it is not a looping macro you have to LOGOUT to stop it. There is no other way.

I have written a macro to do some automatic surveying:
/sample; /pause XXX; /sit; /pause XXX; /stand;
/sample; /pause XXX; /sit; /pause XXX; /stand; etc.

It will run for 60 minutes.

How do I stop it when I return after 20 minutes and want to play on? It is a litte bit frustratin to sit down in the middle of combat...

Is there something like a /stopmacro [Makroname] command?

that one you can't... i don't think so anyway..

here is an idea.. make a single use macro

/sample; /pause XXX; /sit; /pause XXX; /stand;

And at the end add "/ui action toolbarSlotXX". Put that in any slot on your toolbar XX corresponding to the slot number (note: F1 slot is 00, F2 is 01, etc)

This will make the macro press itself every xxx time..

To stop that move the macro to a diffrent slot on the toolbar/switch toolbars.

/dump

onley way i have found is to relog

Tamour's answer is correct - just type /dump in the chat box.
