Thread: Macro help?
Greetings. A little help on macros would be great. Anything and everything that you know. More specifically though, I'm wondering if you can add a everquest styled %t command to a macro. Something that will return the targets name when placed in the text line. Ex. /gsay Inc. %t would return in group chat " Inc. Flesh Eating Chuba."
Again, any and all info would be greatly appreciated.

Choose an unused toolbar, such as 4 or 5. Use the arrows or ctrl-f# keys to get to the toolbar you want. In this example, we'll use Toolbar 5.
Next, drag and drop your clothes and armor into this toolbar.
Create a macro that does the following, the part inside the () is explination:
/ui action toolbarPane04; (switches to toolbar 5, the computer counts from 0)
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
(continue with this through all slots)...
/ui action toolbarSlot23;
/ui action toolbarPane00

Yeah I don't even bother anymore (except for weapons) because it just takes to darn long.....it's really annoying that it still takes ages outside of combat.....just standing around, it takes my bracers forever to equip when I use the swap armor macro (not manually though)....and sometimes It seems to get stuck when in combat and take well over 1 minute to equip or not equip at all without hitting the button again.....and that's from wearing no armor to switching to armor during combat, not one armor to another. it just messes up my timing and throws my strategy off a bit....but I adjust since the A.I. in this game sucks bad.
With weapons, Ive noticed that sometimes during combat the mob that your fighting will actually not attack you while your waiting for your weapon to switch....a bug that still provides and advantage because you don't take damage while waiting for the switch....but downside is combat is extended longer...../shrug I can live with that though.

Hello,
Attempting to grind up weaponsmith, despite the disheartening things I hear.
I am using a macro to help me and I am now getting a 'You are already crafting' message from a macro that was working fine 2 days ago. Any issues with pub21 and macros?
I am using:
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/selectDraftSchematicxx;
/pause 6;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
/pause 3;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
etc. . .
Am I forgetting something? Or? And I am not near a public or private station.
Any help appreciated. . .I only have 2 boxes up from novice

you might put that third line /create.. in there as well so that you dont have to worry about public / private crafting stations
OK, thanks guys. . .Now I have a different prob. . .you solved the 'already crafting thing'. Now it wont loop. . .
When I end with the line /ui action toolbarSlot00; (where I have the macro hotkey) My character SAYS "/ui action toolbarSlot00".
I also tried ending it with /macro <name> and I said that too. . .
What am I doing wrong now?
:/
Make sure you don't accidentally have a period or space in front of that last line.

Instead of using the hotkey use the name of your macro at the end. For example if the name of your macro was grinding and the end of the macro put:
/macro grinding;
