Thread: Crafting Alias and Macro help
Hello
I have been given a crafting macro to grind out practice pieces to build up my XP. I am currently Engineering III and want IV. I am at work at the moment and cannot test this yet.
Can someone check this and advise whether this macro willwork.
/ui action toolbarSlot11;
/selectdraftSchematic 0;
/pause 5;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/pause 60;
/ui action toolbarSlot12;
I have my WDGtool in slot 11 and will put the macro in slot12 to loop it
On another point.....
If I wanted to make this as an alias, contained within an external .txt file do I just put (/alias grind «the macro») and then type /grind to run the alias?
Where do I put the txt file and how to I tell SWG to load this?
Cheers

Tool bar slots start numbering at 00.... So F1 = 00 and F12 = 11 and second row keys Shift F1 = 12 and Shift F12 = 23
So if you put your WDT tool in slot 11 (F11) then change line to access it to the following
/ui action toolbarSlot10;
And if the macro button is going in slot 12 (F12) then change the line to loop back to it to the following
/ui action toolbarSlot11 (last command in macro does not need ; )
Only other thing I can think of to change is the final pause (/pause 60
. That is waiting a full minute before starting your loop again. Depending on what you are crafting you may not need to wait that long and might want to adjust the timing on that. Also you may want to consider using several WDT tools at one time. I usually have about 7 going one after another on a macro and the exp goes by rather quickly. If you want an example of multiple crafting tool macro go to the merchant forum and look at Draz's Merchant FAQ.. at the end of his post there is macro that is laid out showing multiple crafting stations and it being looped.
Good luck and hope this helped.
