    Repeating Macro [Dev]

    I don't recall seeing a topic about this, yet i cant imagine someone not mentioning it. Is their any chance of getting a command that would repeat the macro you're on? Their are a number of situation where something like that would come in handy.

    Extremely basic example:

    Macro1

    /ja "boost" <me>
    /wait 10
    /repeat

    Anything like that basically. Would allow them to continually use boost every 10 seconds without having to manually hit it each and every time. (Unless interrupted by a different macro)

    You can do that

    /ja Boost <me> <wait 11>
    /ja Boost <me> <wait 11>
    /ja Boost <me> <wait 11>
    /ja Boost <me> <wait 11>
    /ja Boost <me> <wait 11>

    etc, the only problem is it'll cancel if you click another macro.

    As for anything else, they already said No previously as it'd be too much like a bot.

    And if caught they get banned, you can't justify something as right simply due to people doing it. We're not Saints, people will steal, lie, etc if they can get away with it.

    Been asked for many times. Won't ever happen. It's called Unattended play.

    I could use a macro command that let you initiate another macro, and then start nesting macro calls within macro calls.

    Would sorta-solve the line limit, and allow you to do full gear swaps in one macro.

    <WS Macro Inception>
    /macro hit #1-Ctrl-0 <wait 1> (macro that initiates 3 macros within it for full gear swap)
    /macro hit #3-Alt-9 <wait 1> (WS macro)
    /macro hit #1-Ctrl-1 (regears TP set)


    Unfortunately it'd be pretty slow on PS2 since it doesn't keep the full macro book loaded in memory at once like 360/PC do, so it'd probably be even slower for them unless they kept all their important macros on the same Ctrl/Alt set. Nor do I doubt it'd have the ability of doing nested macro calls since it'd have to remember the lines from the previous macro, which it's not programmed to do.

    Either of those 2 options would not work, I'm sorry. If you make repeating macros you open the ability to basically bot. Skillups for instance.

    /ma "Barfire" <me>
    /ma "Barblizzard" <me>
    /ma "Baraero" <me>
    /ma "Barstone" <me>
    /ma "Barthunder" <me>
    /repeat

    This would allow for easy skilling of magics, something SE does not what I'm sure.

    Macros leading to macros creates this same problem, macro 1 leads to macro 2 leads to macro 1 again, creates a loop, thus another similar thing to boting and can be used for the same reasons.

    More macro lines, limited, however longer than current, are the best option, however SE claims this is not able to be done for reasons unknown.
