Thread: I need a good Sample Macro.
You can't really bypass that pop up screen unless you find some 3rd party program which is a violation of the ToS for SWG and could get your account banned. However a macro like the one below should bypass the popup screen, kinda.
/ui action toolbarSlot00;/survey;/pause15;/ui action toolbarSlot00
After making the macro, place it in the first hotkey slot on a first row, it should start you sampling, then it'll wait 15 seconds and have you sample again which should bypass the popup, no promises though.
my char has 400 of both secondary action stats quickness and stamina. dunno if the quickness does anything for surveying but stamina helps regen it faster if im not mistaken. also hes a zabrak so his mind stats are very high so my macro assumes you dont really need to worry about mind so you may need to change yours. heres the one i use tho:
/stand; /sample; /pause 03; /stand; /sit; /pause 36; /ui action toolbarSlot21
i put the pause 03 in because without it my computer would skip the sampling step, but my computer sucks sometimes so you might not need it. with a pause of 35 seconds afterwards while sitting i seemed to regen back all my action and mind i had lost back, but i made it 36 to be sure
and the toolbar slots just where i had it ( Remember!: count left to right top to bottom and subtract one, your first slot is 00 NOT 01, it may seem trivial but i screwed this up a few times
)
You can cut out a couple lines there. Thisis the oneI use:
/stand;
/sample;
/pause 120;
/sit;
/pause 30;
/ui action toolbar Slot00;
Place a copy of the macro on your far left top side. This will cause it to loop itself, even if a box pops up. It also prevents you from having too much down time thanks to the boxes.
I like to add
/dumppausedcommands
between the pause command and the ui action command. If anything in the command string gets screwy (it does sometimes) this will kill it.
