I put in the macro and when I click the button it leave off three pieces of armor and I get a message that says, "Too many commands queued. A command was dropped."

I have 10 pieces of armor plus the two commands to go to pane01 and then back to pane00. So there are a total of 12 command lines in the macro.

What am I doing wrong?

The only difference between my macro and the one in the FAQ is I dropped off toolbarSlot10 and 11

check to see if your invetory is full.............. If you have 5 slots available and you try to take off 10 pieces of armor then it won't work. Either that or you have too many command lines in your macro and you need to take some out.

That shouldn’t be too many command lines in your macro. I have about 15 command lines in a macro that helps me craft. Try putting a pause between every piece of armor, maybe? A pause of one? You might be getting snagged somewhere, and it’s trying to hit multiple pieces of armor.

i.e.

/ui action toolbarSlot00
/pause 1
/ui action toolbarSlot01
/pause 1

Etc…

I bring this up because when I was a Pistoleer, I would macro some of my favorite commands. Health Shot 1 & 2, or a couple others…often I would find later commands not being triggered at all.

I ran this macro many times and in many variations. For whatever reason the system will only equip 8 total pieces at any one given time.

Also, please note - running this particular macro, which switches Panes, caused the system to lock up. So be aware that if you do this during combat it is quite possible that your game could freeze. Perhaps SWG fixed this since the last patch, but I wanted to put that forward.

I've heard of some having this problem after one of the patches. I've heard the fix is to add a /pause 1 command somwhere in the middle of the macro.

Isn't the whole point to get the armor on and off fast? Wouldn't the pauses defeat that purpose?

/shrug

but the error seems to be occuring because too many commands stack up before it can execute them. The pause allows it to process and then add the rest.

I'd recomend frontloading the key pieces up front before the pause if you're switching on and off in the middle of an active battle. You may be able to get away with just 1-2 pieces after the pause.

Full disclosure, Mu ubese macro works fine with no pause, but Ithink I have a few less lines than the above poster.

Not true about the 8 pieces being the max, I use a macro to equip my 9 piece composite armor set (as do many, many people) all the time and it's no problem. What's happening is you're wearing a bunch of clothes or armor already, then trying to equip a different suit, so the game is trying to enque all the commands to take your clothes off, then all the commands to put your armor on. Try reducing your outfit. My zabrak wears injury/wound pants and an injury wound undershirt, then puts on his composite so really the game is doing 10 things, unequiping the pants, equiping the 9 pieces of armor. If you're wearing a hat, and gloves, and shoes, and a jacket, or another suit of armor first it's probably trying to execute all that stuff at once and it's just not happening. Either reduce your outfit, through a pause midway through, or rethink your macros. Maybe instead of going from your ubese suit to your composite suit you need to go back to your clothes first from ubese, then hit the comp button. That's what I do and it got me around that error. Happens pretty rarely though, I always look at who I'm going to be fighting and if I need the composite I wear it right away so there's no need to go from my 7 piece ubese suit to my 9 piece composite suit (16 total things the game needs to do, usually gets everything on but the gloves, I have a feeling 15 is the limit, since the gloves are the last thing my macro equips). Hope this helps
