Thread: Buff Macro

I've gotten pretty good at making macros for my buff bot. I have one that applies all 6 buffs on my target (/ui action targetGroup0), but when there is no group I buff myself, which is a waste of buffs. I read on the forums that someone used a pet to make grouped if the doctor wasn't in a group, so I tried that and I ended up buffing the pet (I didn't know that was possible), so that is still a waste of buffs too. So thenI tried a droid, and while I didn't buff the droid, it eventually would run our of power and not group from a (/tellpet group) command.


So how do other buff-botts not waste the buffs on themselves when there is no customer?

Except Buff-Bots are placed inside buildings. Which have access fees af 6k or 10k or whatever. So no, its not as easy as that...

Ok, I tossed this macro together to help my PA mates out with buffs while I'm hunting with my primary toon.


The idea works like this:


Place your Master Doc in a house with an access fee (Mine is set to 5k credits). Now, drag the macro icon to toolbar slot 00 (First row, First column). Start your macro, and make sure you don't run out of enhancement kits! The macro will loop through the following: Join Group, target group leader (I have it taget him twice in case of lag), buff target, disband, rest and reset macro.


If you find this usefull or want any clarification, drop me a message.




/shout If you need to be buffed, please pay the entry fee, then invite me to your group. NO OVERTS. IF YOU ARE OVERT I CANNOT BUFF YOU (I'm neutral) ;
/pause 2;
/say Please note that sometimes it will take me up to 5 minutes to respond to you due to the fashion in which this macro works.;
/pause 2;
/say Please make sure you are not in a group when you invite me, else I might end up not buffing you.;
/pause 2;
/say should I run out of medicine, please notify me via email as to this for a full refund.;
/pause 20;
/join;

The buff bot macro in the FAQ works perfectly for me. I did have to type it in rather than cut'n'paste right enough or it wouldn't save. Odd but true.


Which I've just noticed is the one you just posted. Hah, well done mate, this one works fine and thanks very much for it.

Whats the KOA btw?

Buff macro is simple to make. Well mines is. I just select the player i'm buffing and it the macro. You should have no fear in buffing yourself long as you don't hit the escape button while buffing the player or minimize your screen. If you must go to your desktop midway through a buff, don't do Ctrl+Esc, instead do Alt+Tab which will minize your screen and still keep your character in-game selected on the person your buffing. Hitting Ctrl+Esc will minimize your screen but your are also hitting the Esc key, which will de-select the player and you eat 10K worth of buffs (again) lol. My macro is simple. I fill my F5 to F10 bars with buff packs and my buffing macro in my F4 key. Macro goes as follows:


/ui action toolbarSlot04
/pause 16
/ui action toolbarSlot05
/pause 16
/ui action toolbarSlot06
/pause 16
/ui action toolbarSlot07
/pause 16
/ui action toolbarSlot08
/pause 16
/ui action toolbarSlot09
/pause 3
/say There you go, all set.
/pause 3
/say Next!



This macro is started by hitting the F4 key, which hits the F5 key, waits 16 seconds, hits the next key until it reaches F10, which is filled with the last buff pack. Like i said, pretty simple long as you refrane from hitting the esc key. Note: You can still have menues up like your inventory or d-pad screen and still hit the esc key to clear them with no fear in de-selected the player your buffing. But don't hit the esc key when you have no menues up and your just selected on the player or else you'll de-select and eat a buff or two.


Tip: If you want to be safe by not hitting your buff macro starter key, which in my example is the F4 key, and mistakenly start a buffing cycle, place this macro starter key in your secondary toolbar lots like F13 to F24. Then when you want to start a buff cycle, you must hit Shift+(macro starter key) to start the cycle. This protects you from hitting the key by accident. It is much harder to hit Shift+F16by accident than it is to hit F4.

if your having problems buffing yourself in the downtime, intsead of targeting a droid or pet, target sone random object.


add something like


/target m


To your macro at the end. You might need to experiment with the letter. What this is doing is targeting the nearest targetable object starting with the letter M, such as a nearby Merchant Tent...

I just mastered doctor and have been buffing by hand but sometimes I lose track and waste some buffs. Do you guys have a macro you use [that auto buffs all six stats] that you could share?

I don't want to just do /healEnhance, I want to designate a specific order.

Yes I have a macro that I use it's------> ()=Macro Name


(Healenhance)

/yell Buffing 2400+ 3+ hours! 12k bank tip please! No overts!

/healenhance health;

/pause 17;

/healenhance strength;

/pause 17;

/healenhance constitution;

/pause 17;

/healenhance action;

/pause 17;

/healenhance stamina;

/pause 17;

/healenhance quickness;

/pause 5;

/say Thanks for your business! Good Luck and enjoy you buffs!

/salute



Hit your macro every time you want to buff someone, but remember to target them


I recommend you use bivoli and BE clothing


When you use havla------> ()=Macro Name


(Havlahealenhance)


/healenhance health;

/healenhance strenght;

/healenhance constitution;

/healenhance action;

/healenhance stamina;

/healenhance quicknness;

/say Thanks for you business! Good Luck and enjoy you buffs!

/salute


And then target the next person and hit you normal macro.

Don't take to much havla, you'll get full to fast and won't be able to take any more bivoli.

Always have extar droid batteries on you, I learned that the hard way.

If you wanna have your enhance packs in your backpack (like me) and not have them take up space in your general inventory just drag and drop to the toolbar and do:


/ui action toolbarSlot00;

/pause 17;


/ui action toolbarSlot01;

/pause 17;


/ui action toolbarSlot02;

/pause 17;


/ui action toolbarSlot03;

/pause 17;


/ui action toolbarSlot04;

/pause 17;


/ui action toolbarSlot05;


That way you can also keep track of how many charges are left on your packs - and you can set the order in which you buff.


Happy buffing
