bad kitty has it, and all in one handy macro, not 2. all you need is novice medic and throw in /tend or get tons of stim b's and throw /heal instead of /tend at the end and your sorted.
That macro is if you have Medic skill though, if you don't have medic, the macro will quit when you run out of action. I'm not about to drop Master Armorsmith for medic either.
Please.. no text in afk macros or even ANY repeating macros. It doesn't matter how far your timing is apart there ARE some ppl who do stay active in cantinas* and it does become annoying. As someone said earlier, you will only endear yourself to ppl's ingnore list.
Want a solution? Even when I'm active in the cantina, Irepeat macro my florishes. This frees me up to converse with my fellow players or customers. Havecomments you use a lot? Hot key those.. and use them when the occassion calls for it. Just PLZ don't repeat macro text.
* The perspection that entertainers are all grinding and afk is part of the major problem with our profession - mostly brought on by SOE

i had a question..i macro my flourishes too but i like sitting and chatting..but i dont do it anymore..only cause while im typing...my cursor dissappears out of chat box..so the next key i hit does and action whether is moving or whatever and it stop my playing...i timed it. it takes 5seconds between time i hit enter(start chat)to the time its gone..so now i cant chat unless i keep my mouse on the chat box and hit it every 5seconds making sute not to type to close to that time.
You've changed your chat style. In the default SWG chat style, all typing automatically goes to the main chat box, and commands are triggered through key combos with ctrl. I suspect that is what most people use.

What I do with my macro, which I admit is used for the occasion when I just get too tired of sitting there watching my lizard jive for hours on end.... but is mostly used so I can talk to my patrons without the trouble of having to constantly click on my quick bar and such... but using Badkitty's example, just before you put in the
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
Put in these lines:
/stand; <<< Makes you stop playing instantly
/pause 05;
/sit or /meditate if you have minor TKA skills
/pause xx; <<<You should run your action down to nothing, then time how long while sitting/meditating it takes for your action to refil then set for xx
/stand;
/pause 08;
Then add in the /ui action toolbarSlot00;
Hope this helps you all, I know I never need heals (though they are appreciated) and I can play/socializ alll day with ease.
