Thread: super hated question and i am sorry ---akf macro---
The command is /flo #
Do not in any way shape or form use any type of chat in your macro. At best, you'll annoy people. At worst, you'll be put on ignore lists. It will not earn tips. It will not earn heals. It will not earn XP.
Actually I usually thank everyone for their patronage in the end of my macro.
and btw way the to loop the macro, when you have the macros set to the F keys type this: /ui action toolbarSlot## F1=00, F12=11, F1 on the second pane=12, so on and so forth....and put a semi colon at the end of course.
If you set first macro to the first F key, and loop it over to 01, which will be F2, and put a song macro there, and keep it goin you can eventually put a loop back to the first button...just make sure you leave pauses adequate enough for your action to go back up.
I hope this helps. =)
But really, you can't beat talking to people. I use a macro myself; not an infinate loop one but a macro none the less. I do it because I can't flourish and chat at the same time.
If you want to be an ENTERTAINER and not a Master Entertainer/Dancer/Musician, use of the chat system is a bit more important than your flourish.
Easier ways of looping macros... just add /macro macroname to your macro.

All toldI have numerous macros that I use for entertaining.
Macro 1: MusicMacro
/startmusic;
/macro PlayMacro;
/pause 50;
/macro MusicMacro;
Macro 2: PlayMacro
/macro FlourishMacro;
/join;
Macro 3: FlourishMacro
/flourish 1;
/pause 5;
/flourish 2;
/pause 5;
/flourish 3;
/pause 5;
/flourish 4;
/pause 5;
/flourish 5;
/pause 5;
/flourish 6;
/pause 5;
/flourish 7;
/pause 5;
/flourish 8;
/pause 5;
Macro 4: FoodMacro
/ui action toolbarSlotxx;
/pause 2700;
/macro FoodMacro
Note: this macro depends on having food that gives +400 to action/stamina/quickness in the toolbar slot.
This macro would keep me going for 13.5 hours without needing a single heal. The reason I have playmacro in is because before I had the food I had multiple calls to playmacro in my musicmacro. This allowed me to play for a period of time. I also had a macro that would heal myself. The nice thing about having this macro is I also have one like this:
Macro 5: DanceMacro
/startdance xxxxx;
/macro PlayMacro;
/pause 50;
/macro DanceMacro;
Having modular macros like this makes it easy to make changes to them on the fly, and I suppose I could modify Macro 3 to look like this:
Macro 3: FlourishMacro
/flourish 1;
/macro PauseMacro;
/flourish 2;
/macro PauseMacro;
/flourish 3;
/macro PauseMacro;
/flourish 4;
/macro PauseMacro;
/flourish 5;
/macro PauseMacro;
/flourish 6;
/macro PauseMacro;
/flourish 7;
/macro PauseMacro;
/flourish 8;
/macro PauseMacro;
Macro 3a: PauseMacro
/pause 5;
Doing it that way would allow me to change the pauses for inbetween flourishes all over without having to change it in 8 places. I'm unsure if that would work however.
Having done all of this, it would allow me to add singing, special song macros, etc. very easily.
Things that you do NOT put into the macro are says, shouts, etc. Anything that could be considered spam. If you feel a need to have some sort of notification in a macro, use a /tell character blah blah blah opposed to something that everyone can see. That way you just spam yourself and not other people.
