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.
/center;

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

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.
/ui action CycleTargetOutward;

I believe a target command is:
/ui action CycleTargetOutward;
that is it, I used to use it in a meatlump macro
