Thread: Macro question
To the best of my knowledge you can't simulate keypresses in a macro. In fact, it works the other way around. You can use keypresses to activate a macro. If your macro could then simulate the keypress for that it would be all too easy to write an infinitely looping macro.
Instead what you need to do is try and find the command equivalent of whatever it is that the keypress is supposed to do. If the keypress leads to examining someone then you can use /examine instead.
Hope that was at least of some help.

Sithv,
good old microsoft has a controller that can do that. you gotta shell out another few bucks to do that.
use the /pause comand. Like /pause 3 will do a 3 sec pause between the macro commands.
I have a macro that does the same thing, but with unarmed... it looks like this:
/ui action toolbarPane01; (pane w/ pistol)
/ui action toolbarSlot23; (equip pistol)
/healthshot1;
/follow;
/pause 3;
/ui action toolbarSlot23;
/ui action toolbarPane00;
/unarmedblind1;
This will bleed the target, but apply the bleed to unarmed (as well as making them blind 
) - It works quite well, since the attack comes from unarmed, all the xp is granted as unarmed.
If you are not using specials with an attack, it is easy to set up the pause, it is just the weapon speed. So if a pistol is 2.2 then you should proabably have a 3 sec pause to play it safe. If specials are involved you will need to figure out what the time mod is for the special. Some can add seconds on to the weapon speed so you will have to experiment. I know there are some sites that have spd modifications for specials but I can't remember where they are.
Is there a command to manipulate resources inside of the crafting session? Basically looking for a way to populate the resource slots without dragging or double clicking the resources on the left side of the session.
Thanks in advance

PS- Yes i am a Master Architect. I dont want to use the info to cheese out and grind a master profession in a few hours. I am just sick of making 100 structural module by hand when someone says "hey i need a large house!" while my factory is in use. So if you know this and dont want to post thats fine, just please send me an PM and I'll keep the secret.
Not that I know of. That's the only part of crafting that isn't macroable. Of course, some people use external mouse emulators, but that's against the EULA, so don't be surprised if you have problems, if you envision using one.
The crafting process can be atomated enough, what you're asking for is a complete AFK craft process.
Question: I am a Master Doctor on Shadowfire and now I am over on Flurry playing with my brother and decided to go Master Doctor here. That means all that crafting again which took so dang long................................BUT my question is can you use a Macro on this? I had someone tell me that they macro there medical crafting but he never would say how. If anyone knows how could you please tell me. I have already mastered it once the hard way and if theres a easer way for the second time through it would be very helpful.
Thank you in advace if you are able to help.

I know that a question isn't much of "guide", but I've yet to get a strait answer on this. So, hopefully, others are experiencing the same difficulty and will be helped by this.
First off, I don't use the SWG control scheme partly because I've always been a WSAD fan, partly because I think it's lame, but I digress. All of my /ui action toolbarslot## macros never work. I was wondering if this is because I switched control schemes? If anyone can give me an example of a simple crafting macro using the EQ style controls it would be much appreciated. I must be doing something wrong and my cordless mouse has taken one to many unscheduled "flights" if you know what I mean.
Thanks for the help
