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;
/pause 15;
/ui action targetGroup0;
/ui action targetGroup0;
/pause 5;
/salute;
/pause 5;
/sit;
/say Hail and well met %NT. I hear you need some enhancements before your next battle.;
/healenhance action;
/pause 25;
/healenhance quickness;
/pause 25;
/healenhance stamina;
/pause 25;
/say Ok %NT, We are almost done! If you are waiting in line I'll be with you soon. (Remember no Overts!);
/healenhance strength;
/pause 25;
/healenhance constitution;
/pause 25;
/healenhance health;
/pause 25;
/disband;
/stand;
/pause 3;
/bow;
/pause 1;


/say thank you for your patronage! Long live the KoA!;


/pause 20;


/ui action toolbarSlot01;

That's a pretty good idea. If anyone use this, let me know how it works.

Well, it works fine, and you can set ppl who you don't want to charge for buffs on the entry list for the house.


So far i've had 20 customers since sunday morning.

This is PURE GENIUS!


You, sir, deserve a /SALUTE!

Thanks, now if only SoE would make macroing a wee bit more robust it would make things even batter.


Right now the only problem with the buff bot is that when there are no customers he defaults to buffing himself. This is currently not too big a deal, as with buffs lasting about 2-3 hours I end up going through 10 full self buffs on average. I might actually toss a covert faction scanner in the building and go overt to help out my PA's PvPers.

I was just talking to my guildies about how in Asherons Call we had buff bot scripts we ran, I am thrilled to see this possible in SWG. Thanx for all the work you put into figuring this out

Thanks. My only worry is that it looks like they are going to allow re-buffs in order to allow you to 'override' a lower buff. This will kill the bot as when there are no customers he'll need to buff himself


What we need is something like Decal from AC in order to facilitate this.

Do you group so you can get a target for buffing? Have you tried using /ui action cycleTargetNext and /ui action cycleTargetPrev instead?

You could maybe do /ui action targetSelf and then /ui action cycleTargetNext to get the closest target.

Hm except it won't target friendly players. Doh

Yup, I spent a while trying to figure out some way to get the macro to select something other than myself when It's not serving someone. I might play around with trying to get it to target the item your crosshairs are currently over if I can figure how this is done via command.


It's soo soo annoying too, as AC Tool works with SWG for macros but supposedly violates SoE's terms of service


I'm going to drop a post about this on general discussion boards and see if I can get any feedback from someone about it. Maybe they'll addendum their EULA (LOL yeah right...).

This is possible with a slash command (targetting what is on your reticle). I forget what the command is though. Mhm.

Nicely done though, considering doing this for my friends as I'm often afk in game.

If you find out what that slash command is, please let me know. I think i'm just being brain dead today as I cannot find it.

/ui action targetAtCursor
and
/ui action targetAtCursorStop

If there's nothing on the cursor it doesn't do anything.
