Was just looking for a couple of quick pointers on putting together a combat macro. Basically what I want to accomplish is to use Center of Being and Bacta Infusion every 30sec. I would like the macro to target my player, as I suspect that is needed for the heal, and then target the closest attacker to me. I can handle just about all of that but I'm unsure of how to target the attacker once the heal is complete. Here is what I've put together:


/centerofbeing;

/target self;

/bactainfusion;

/ (whatever command will retarget my attacker)

/pause 30;

/macro NAME;


Thanks in advance for input guys.

Uh yeah.. that wont work

1) Last I checked you cant pause .00001
2) Even if you could pause that much, due to the universal cooldown timer (about 1 second) you couldnt do that anyway





betcha 20 mil it does work. I use macros like that on a daily basis. and fyi, 1 second isn't right anyways, check it, it gives them a default .25 pause. the .00001 works moreso than the general 1 second pause, I don't use a macro like that, but due to the bar that has to go across on CoB about a .5 would suffice here. Don't lecture me on my macros, or tk. I only uses tiny pauses (.0000001) on loot macros, but like I said, I wasn't thinking when I wrote the macro out I was giving a general post as to the macro he should use, to save himself the trouble of having it target himself, and then retarget his opponent.


and to the OP, I wouldn't suggest using a macro like that if you intend on PvP'ing at all, because most skilled PvP people, watch timers, and when CoB and such is about to run out, you get a KD, and your macro is worthless. Granted you gave it a 30 second timer where the CoB lasts for 45 seconds anyways, so I guess it might work. Something like


/center;
/pause .5;
/bactainfu self;
/pause 30;
/m NAME;


if you wanted the 30 second timer on the macro

I like the idea of the Bacta Infusion every 30 seconds, hadn't though of that


However, as CoB does not always fire because you may be moving, mine looks like this...


/centerofbeing;

/pause 4;

/centerofbeing;

/pause 4;

/centerofbeing;

/pause 29;

/macro NAME;


My CoB NEVER fails to fire on at least one of the 3 attempts.


A friend has his set as follows:



/centerofbeing;

/pause 4;

/macro NAME;


I am unsure if there is any reason / difference between either of these ways. My friends just fires whenever it can.


I will be adding the /Bactainfusion into mine tonight tho

Do it this way and you won't have to worry about targeting at all. Your target won't change.

/shout I want to join the Rebellion!;
/cob;
/pause 2;
/bactainf self;
/pause 28;
/macro xyz;

For future reference:

/ui action untarget;
/ui action cycleTargetOutward;

This works just like Tab except that it untargets first so you aren't targeting things 120m away. Won't target outside of field of view though.

ummm i dont like the bacta infusion idea. The bacta infusion takes a lot of mind, and in pvp, it means instant dead, because u cant use another quick heal if u need it. Maybe u can save your a$$ with some stims D, but im not sure...


try it with some friendly duels and see how it goes.

I believe a target command is:

/ui action CycleTargetOutward;

eh...yeah don't use the /tar misfit /tarout yada yada yada way. I used too and hated it. use the self command. it is much cleaner as you keep your target targeted and can heal yourself.


I use a macro that does something like this for pve...


/thyroidrupture

/pause 3

/armorbreak

/pause 3

/comboattack

/pause 3

/comboattack

/pause 3

/bactashot self (switch to spray if i am in a group)

i continue this out for the length of the thyroid rupture...not in game so i don't know the exact time...and i think the pause might be 4.


then I run a cob macro that sends up a system message when i should stop running.


the longer pauses are to keep action/mind from draining in long fights...also with those timers i can squeeze in other attacks/poison/fire/disease via them being mapped to my kb.


for instance leg sweep is mapped to numpad 1, dizzy attack to 2, combo attack to 3, 0 is just /attack, . is armor break, 4 is bactashot, 5 is bactaspray, 6 is bactatoss, 7 is a poison/fire combo macro, 8 is a macro that does thryroid rupture and the snare speed one, 9 does all the other MCM states in one macro. enter on the numpad isa KD recovery and cure all states, the plus sign on the numpad is a paralyze macro, the neg sign is a macro that does /loot and /harvest hide (even though i have no scout...keep forgetting to get it out).


I also have a mouse with four buttons and a wheel...the far left button is mapped to a macro that does a /shout a for when i have a pet out and it does a couple attacks too. The next button is just mapped normal. The wheel when pressed does the switch mouse modes. The right click button is mapped default and the far right button SWG can't map too so I map it to F12 in windows and then map F12 to next target (basically tab).
