I posted this in smuggler and then realized that smugglers are'nt the only ones who use spice.

This may have been touched on but here ya go.

I wrote this for Muon Gold and havn't officially tried it yet because I just got into spice(heavily I might add) So I will be trying it when I get home. I don't know if you can tell yourself.

For this example the spice would be in the second pane/1st slot,so you wouldn't have to take up 2 slots in your main bar.

/ui action toolbarPane01; Switches to the second pane where the spice is stored

/ui action toolbarSlot00; Uses the spice

/ui action toolbarPane00; Switches back to original pane

/pause 540; pauses 9 minutes

/tell "yournamehere" Muon Gold Downer in 1 minute; tell to yourself

/pause 30; pauses 30 seconds

/tell "yourname here" Muon Gold Downer in 30 seconds; tell to yourself

/pause 20; pauses 20 seconds

/tell "yourname here" Muon Gold Downer in 10 seconds; tell to yourself

/tell "yourname here" 5; tell to yourself

/tell "yourname here" 4; tell to yourself

/tell "yourname here" 3; tell to yourself

/tell "yourname here" 2; tell to yourself

/tell "yourname here" 1; tell to yourself

Downer starts

This can be used for any spice, just adjust the time of the first pause to make up for the difference. I am gonna have one for Nuetron Pixie as well. Just be sure to replenish the spice during the downer or it won't be there the next time.

very nice.

this is a stupid newbie question - but what is spice? I keep hearing the term but don't have any idea......

its a consumable item like food but seriously buffs up your stats. Like muon gold buffs your mind, focus and willpower +500 for 10 minutes. the problem is after 10 minutes you have a 1-2 minute downer where all the stats go the opposite way. So -500. You can buy them from smugglers or on the bazaars.

Nice macro.Instead of using the /tell command try using /echo. The message will pop up in your chat window once instaed of twice while sending yourself a /tell

Drugs, plain and simple.

Read the descriptions on them. They're various substances, almost all designed and intended for purposes other than being ingested, but which have various side effects when you consume them. (Some of them actually mention psychotropic effects, but these do not get realized in the game).

All of them boost one or more of you character's attributes. Some of them also lower one or more attributes.

When the drug wears off, you go through withdrawal and puke your guts out for 5 minutes or so. This aspect of drug use is realized in game. If you're standing, you bend over, and eventually go down on your knees, all the while making coughing noises. (Not quite as unpleasant as real retching noises). And you get a system message saying, "You puke." If you're sitting or kneeling, you miss all the animation/sound effects, and just get the message. While you're in withdrawal, your previously buffed stats get reduced instead.

Let me say it again, "Spices" are DRUGS! The game ENCOURAGES drug use. I'm a smuggler, so I guess that's a good thing...right?

the one thing most people dont know about these drugs are, that the majority of them are LEGAL.

only the few that are detrimental to peoples health (causes brain damage, muscle deterioration, death, etc.) are illegal.

yes, in star wars, drugs are legal. but they are highly taxed and regulated (whcih is why Han was smuggling them).

Ok, here is the modified code. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

Instead of /tell use /echo, this way you do not get a double tell to yourself. I also added the code with the alarm to get my attention at the one minute mark, as well as the rest of the countdown. I added the alarm because the echo doesn't make a sound so sometimes I don't notice themessage in my chat window. This alarmclock command sets a notice at the 1 minute mark by displaying a message in the player's view. The next modifier I made was I forgot to add pauses between the 5.4.3.2.1 countdown. It easy to do just add /pause 1; this will actually get the seconds count down, instead of a really fast 5.4.3.2.1 The modified code is at the bottom.

Another thing I would highly recommend is to time the downer and then have an add on to the macrothat has youeat some air cake after the downer. This is recommended because of the spice bug where your stats don't fully go back to normal. It was a while before I realized my focus was staying at 198 instead of the 375 it was supposed to be. The reason I recommend air cake is because they modify all stats and are only a domestic cooking 2 in the artisan tree so they are easy to get.

If anyone notices any more problems or has any more suggestions, let me know. Thanks already to those who have given great suggestions.

**edit** spice users. get a life Go see a doctor for your buffs

didn;t expectthat - oh well guess the boards are too liberal for some words.

I usually stack my spice with doctor buffs andfood(tatooine sunburn)but at the moment on tempest there is a lack of doctors who can buff people. And I like having the option of using it when I need it not having it done and having to find something so it isnt wasted. Plus I don't know of any doctors who can buff my mind like Muon Gold. Yeah, yeah, entertainers can but that takes forever.
