Thread: Crafting Macro help
I'm having some trouble getting a general crafting macro to work. I've tried the macro outlined in the Merchant Guide, along with several others I've come across, and I always end up with the same basic problem. The crafting tool opens up and gets to Step 2, (where you select the material), and then it stops and tells me "This Crafting Session has ended".
This is the basics of the macro I'm trying to get working:
/ui action toolbarSlot11; Crafting toolslot
/selectdraftschematic 21;
/pause 4;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
Why doesn't this work? What do I need to do to force the Crafting Station to automatically populate the material boxes and then move on?

This would probably be better posted in the artisan forum but the answer is you don't get it to populate the material boxes ..you do that manually..that is what the 4 second pause is for in the middle of the routine
the pause 4 is where you put resources in the slots....this gives you 4 seconds. if you take too long, you're bunked. just split it into two macros. first macro opens tool and selects schematic, then you drop resources, hit second macro which skips past the confirmation menus. also, if you're next to a craft station the macro dies.

Why do people make macros to do this? All you have to do is hit enter to get to the next crafting stage, and enter to open the last created item... Weird.
Because when you do it 6000 times the number of keystrokes you save could prevent carpal tunnel syndrome?
I have a macro that I use that closes out the crafting session. But I start it and put in the materials then click it or press the macro key I have assigned. It saves 3 or 4 mouseclicks per item. That can be a lot if you are grinding.
I have looked over the forums for this but can't find anything about it, so I'll ask. I have a friend in SWG who is trying to be a Master Doctor (she is almost halfway there). She has looked into using macros, but doesn't quite understand how it all works, and I was wondering if someone could post an easy to understand macro that she can use to grind it out (she also "plays" the character, so no its not a holo profession). Please include how many crafters to use, where to put them, etc. If someone an post a link to one such as I've described, that would be nice too. Much thanks for any help.
