In-Game Macros

One of the most difficult parts of setting up your own macro is finding your schematic numbers, as they are used in this command:

/selectDraftSchematic 00

Where 00 represents the number of the schematic. It is different for everyone. My Projectile Rifle Barrel schematic number may be 12, while Joe Bob's is 25. You will have to type this command over and over with different numbers until you find *your* numbers that open the proper schematics in your crafting tool! Once that's over, then you can set up your macros.

Onto the actual macro. This guide was written by one of our community members, unique100:

Okay, to do this you will be using the top row of F1 - F12 keys in the "first set" of your toolbar quickslots. Very important to make sure it is the "first set" or it will not work.

You will have to make 3 macros. Pick a name for the macros. I used 'wsmacro1' 'wsmacro2' 'dump'. You can use whatever you like.

Open the abilities window (Ctrl-A on default keymap) then hit the Macro tab. Hit New Macro and give it a name. Then pick an icon for the macro. The icons mean nothing, they are just there to use as a pic to put in the toolbar quickslot.

Write this macro in the box:

/ui action toolbarSlot03;
/selectDraftSchematic 00; (This number will be different for you!)
/pause 5; (This is where you double click to put in resources)
/nextcraftingstage; (Replace "/nextcraftingstage;" with just "/next;" if you have problems)
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot04;
/selectDraftSchematic 00;
/pause 5;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot05;
/selectDraftSchematic 00;
/pause 5;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot06;
/selectDraftSchematic 00;
/pause 5;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot01; (This loops the macro)

Review the macro to make sure there are no typoes. Then hit 'OK' to save the macro. Now hit "New Macro" again, give it a name and pick an icon (different one)

Then write this macro:

/ui action toolbarSlot07;
/selectDraftSchematic 00;
/pause 5;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot08;
/selectDraftSchematic 00;
/pause 5;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot09;
/selectDraftSchematic 00;
/pause 5;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot10;
/selectDraftSchematic 00;
/pause 5;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot11;
/selectDraftSchematic 00;
/pause 5;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot00; (This loops back to the first macro, making an endless loop.)

Save it. Now this is a endless macro so you will need a way to stop it.

Write this macro pick and icon and save it:

/dump (This will stop your macro, use it when you need to stop.)

Ok now put Macro #1 in your F1 toolbar slot Macro #2 in F2 toolbar slot. Put the end macro in F3 toolbar slot.

You will need 8 crafting stations now. Put the crafting stations in F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, F10, F11, F12 toolbar slots. Now try the macro!

You can make this faster by changing the pause ( /pause 5; ) to 3 or 4 seconds. *CAUTION* Using the 3 second pause is really hard, you will not be able to take your eyes off the screen. It is really fast and it can burn you out quickly.

I was using this to make metal staffs, but you can use this to make about anything.

The /pause is the time the macro stops for you to load the resorces in the crafting station. Select Draft Schematic number can be found by useing Ctrl-D to open your Datapad, then hitting the Data tab. Count the number of schematics in the Datapad left-to-right, top-to-bottom. I counted down and 57 was the number where my Metal Staff schematic was.

/selectDraftschematix 00; can be /sel 00; instead also

/nextcraftingstage; can be /nextc;

for little less typing
