About crafting and macros to automate it
Posted: Fri Jan 29, 2021 4:44 pm
The last server i played on i went for all the badges on one toon and i waited till the end to do all the crafting..i really dislike crafting. I eventually got through it but today i observed a conversation about crafting so i thought i would give my macro on how i made it easier.
this website i came across
http://www.platinumorderforums.com/smft ... pic=5705.0
heres where i got the macro. basically on this page its 2 macros i think. but you control each macro with your fingers. you put your crafting tool in your toolbar, however many you need.
the first macro is
/ui action defaultButton;
and you put this on the toolbar
the second macro is
/next;
/next;
/next;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
you put that on the next spot of your toolbar.
you hit the crafting tool with your mouse and hit the first macro with your finger, put your resources in and then hit the second macro.
go to the next crafting tool etc etc etc..
even though this works well, i still hate crafting. so i modified these macros into one macro.
/ui action toolbarSlot04;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause 2;
so
/ui action toolbarSlot04; <---crafting tool on your toolbar
/pause 1; <---waits 1 second till does the first macro above
/ui action toolbarSlot00; <-----first macro above set in the upper left of your toolbar.
/pause 4; <---the time needed to load your resources
/ui action toolbarSlot01; <----the second macro above set in the 01 spot of your toolbar
/pause 2; <----time before macro starts again
so in my case this is what my macro looks like with 6 or 7 crafting tools and 1 macro for the whole thing named test
/ui action toolbarSlot04;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot05;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot06;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot07;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot08;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot09;
/pause 1;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause 2;
/m test;
the only spot it hangs up on is if you select a schematic and the picture of the item is in the window..youll have to back out of the macro. if you miss getting the resources in then it will give you a continued option to put the resources in and then it will move onto the next step.
when you start this macro you need to preload the item you are grinding on. so i select one of the crafting tool, select what im grinding on, load the resources and back out of the entire process then i start the macro and it will always go to that preselected schematic you loaded.
good luck
