Dancer Archive

Hello everybody,

from time to time i like to alt+tab out of SWG to read something on

the boards or surf the web while getting my dancing up a bit and i

have been wondering if there is a way to set up a macro for dancing.

i have seen on www.swgcenter.com that there is one for sampling and

i tried to "clone" a macro similiar to it, based on the information

that i have found there... unfortunately i cannot get it to work

properly... i get recursion alerts all the time when i set up the

aliases and run the "end-product" eventually.

Here is what i had so far:

First of all i wanted a Macro to go through all the flourishes

once... so i went ahead and did:

/alias DanceOnce /flourish 1;/pause 15;/flourish 2;/pause

15;/flourish 3;/pause 15;/flourish 4;/pause 15;/flourish 5;/pause

15;/flourish 6;/pause 15;/flourish 7;/pause 15;/flourish 8;/pause 15

So whenever i'd type in /danceonce it would do 8 flourishes and then

stop.
Ok, as you might guess, this doesn't cut it, because 1 flourish

takes approximately 15 seconds (thus the /pause 15), am i correct on

that one?

So going through all 8 flourishes takes, you guessed it, 15 times 8

= 120

Now i read on swgcenter.com that his basis is a 720 second macro, so

i made another alias:

/alias Dance6times /DanceOnce;/pause 120;/DanceOnce;/pause

120;/DanceOnce;/pause 120;/DanceOnce;/pause 120;/DanceOnce;/pause

120;/DanceOnce;/pause 120

You get the picture...

One hour is 3600 seconds, 720 times 5, so i made a 1 hour macro:

/alias Dance1Hr /Dance6times;/pause 720;/Dance6times;/pause

720;/Dance6times;/pause 720;/Dance6times;/pause

720;/Dance6times;/pause 720

And let's say a 5 hour macro would be:

/alias Dance5Hr /Dance1Hr;/pause 3600;/Dance1Hr;/pause

3600;/Dance1Hr;/pause 3600;/Dance1Hr;/pause 3600;/Dance1Hr;/pause

3600

So i thought when i type in /Dance5Hr;/pause 18000 it would run for

5 hours straight (not that i'd have enough action points for it, but

that could be tweaked later)... in theory it should work,

unfortunately i get Recursion "Errors" already after it has run

through the first alias (DanceOnce), so in fact i only goes through

the 8 flourishes and then stops.

What am i doing wrong here? I don't think that i have a typo

somewhere, so what's the matter? Can anybody here help me out?

PS:
Before i get bashed here, note that i sometimes just get sick of pushing buttons and typing /flourish all the time, it's extremely annoying especially if you are in a nice conversation, which happens to be the case quite often in cantinas, this isn't about unattended macroing for hours or something.

the 5 hour macro thing was just a test.
