Nope.
The best you can do is /createvendor
All this does is let you stand away from the terminal.
All the other clicking is still just as tedious.

Is their a way to create a macro that select options from the radial menu? For instance can you make a macro that will select the move option then select up?

Do you mean the text commands to move something forward and the text command to move up, or how to make a macro that moves something forward X then up Y?

Ok lets say I bring up the radial menu and select option 2 then I get a dropdown list of lets say 4 items. So I would normally have to click option 2 then select lets say number 4 from the list. Is their a way to macro this without using text commands?
EDIT: Their are some radial menu options in the game that dont have text commands.

Not that I know of. There are text commands to open the radial menu though so it could work that way. The tilde (~) opens up the radial menu and then a number will select that option so there might be a way to do it with that.

The reason im asking about this in the arch boards is that in general crafters know the macro system best and secondly the reason im asking is because CH's dont have a way to train pets through the command line and thus cannot macro it. I was wondering if you could do something like this. (I dont know much about macros myself so this macro probablyisnt correct)
selectradialmenu1; (which for the sake of arguement would be the train option on the radial menu)
pause 0.1;
selectlistoption4; (this would be one of the trainable commands like guard)
pause 0.1;
/tellpet (command);
On the smuggler boards I saw that you could do something similar to this with conversations. I think ill post this question their to

I'm not sure about macros, but I'm more than willing to help with a marco, if that's what you meant!
You see, you really need to include step-by-step instructions for the buffbots, just in case one of them isn't buffing you properly. Make absolutelycertain that the bot knows they are buffing you. Tell them your weapon is unequipped so they can watch your hands clap. You could tell them in GroupChat, but I'd recommend using /Tells. This way, the bot canscroll back through his/her tab and see if/when your macro died. (They might be caring enough to let you know when that happened so you can fix it. They're there to serve, after all.)
I would also recommend /banktipping them once every 5 or 10 minutes. Since they're simply there to help, the amount can be as little as 1 credit per buff cycle. Just try to let them know you care. Even as a complete n00b, you'll be able to pay for 250 buffs. Wouldn't you love 250 demonstrations of love when you returned from a long hard day of AFKing?
For added effect, assign a different pair of hotpants to each hotkey and run a macro that cycles through the full spectrum on a regular basis. You need to at least TRY to look good for them. They are, after all, having to stare at you for hours on end! Be pleasing to the eyes!
And above all else, be courteous. Be sure to ask for the buff each time you invite them. I think people generally say "buff group plz" or "invite plz." If you don't do this, they might become sad panda

I had a quick question about some macroing I was thinking of doing. I don't want to turn this into an afk vs non afk and buffbot thread we have a sticky for that up top
But here is my quandry....I have a couple of accounts and while I'm at work I'd like to ensure that they stay fully buffed. What I'd like to be able to do is write a couple macros that I'm assured will be serviced properly by the AFK buffbots.
With the difficulty level of this game if I start a new toon on another server there is no way in heck I'm going to be even standing around in this game without a mind buff. As you all are well aware mind buffs are mandatory to play the game. I simply cannot settle for a mind pool of 2k.
The only thing I can't figure out is how I won't lock up the buffbot while I'm AFK. Oh well guess I'll have to figure that out after I have some time when JTL comes out. But I promise you I will work on it.
I know buffbots work with the /join command but I was wondering if there was anything else out there macro wise that I should be aware of to make sure I'm serviced as I should be in the game to run my macro against.
If you can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. I checked the link up top but didn't see anything else.
Soon to be starting some new toons near you. Once again I promise I will try my hardest to work out a fix so I don't tie up anyones buffbot too long.....I really will!! It may take some time but buffbots are important to me and their concerns will be addressed.....sometime.

wha???
you want a macro that will allow you to get a buff and then hunt and you're worried about upsetting the afk buffbot because you tie them up by being in their group all the while you are also afk and at work...
Does anyone even play this game anymore??
