i need to know how to script a macro to make me sample and then rest so that i can set it up for when i am at work lol...just need to know if and how it can be done...any help is greatly appreciated

thanks in advance

Go to your commands section, than to the Macro tab. In there create a new macro saying something like /sample /pause XXX /sit /pause XXX than repeat. You'll need to time how long it takes you to sample and than again to recover your Mind/Action and input it in seconds.

tried and failed...it won't pause...like i sample...then run out of action...then pause but don't sit...then i don't sample again...

Do you have your ; after each action?

Try
/stand; /sample; /pause 600; /sit; /pause 150;

Repeat that line over an over, but change the time to fit your toon. Thats 10 mins sampling and 2 1/2 mins resting.

i cant get it to work she will sample 3 times then it says cant sample for 12 seconds then she will again begin........it says this

u begin to sample for dosi

u r not currently dancing

u stop taking resouce samples

u stand

u sit

u kneel

then does that for few times and starts all over and collects 3 times and goes again with the dancing thing

I use the sample macro. Worked fine the last two nights but now my guy is doing all kinds of things. I think it's bugged. At least for me it is. Started acting up today.

This is the one I use, it goes for about 20 minutes, you just keep repeating it to make it go longer, I have it up to 4 hours now.

first, do your survey and go to your spot.

open macro window, give it a name and an icon and at the bottom type:

/sample;

/pause 700;

/stand;

/pause 10;

/sit;

/pause 180;

/stand;

/pause 10;

/jump;

ok, everything before the /jump will go for a little over 20 minutes, that is if your like me with 800/500/500 across the board for character stats. After the last /pause 10; you just keep typing the whole thing over and over. I put the jump in at the end to let me know when it's done. You see, the problem I have with the macro is I don't know how to stop it, so I have to either keep it going till it ends, or move around and sit and try to sample while I am doing other things (actually kind of funny when your in a fight, all of a sudden you either sit or try to survey). Right now, I have it typed in 13 times and that get me to over 4 hours and 20 minutes. You may have to adjust time according to your stats, what I suggest is that you do a test run with it, if you don't come close to exhausting your pools, you can up it by 25 (700 to 725) and try it till you get it close enough not to go over and force yourself to rest. If 700 is too high, you can decrease it the same way. You may also have to adjust the 180 for your resting phase as well. Just keep tinkering with it till you have it right for your character.

Good Luck

why not type /sample; /pause 900; /sample; /pause 900 over and over again you will stand when you're out of energy to keep sampling then pause to energize and start over. let me know if this will work or why i need to have sitting and standing in there. also is it possible to just add /loop 10 at the end for it to go through 10 times?

Here's my script:

/sample

[go walk the dog]

/sample

[make a sandwich, eat sandwich]

/sample

[surf the web]

/sample

etc...
