Repeat Line Function in User Macros

Greetings All,

I'm going to get straight to the point here! I think that having a repeat line function that we could put at the end of a line similar to <wait.#> would be very beneficial. Obviously there would have to be some limitations on this, maybe a cap of 3 or 4 times per line but any crafters that use macros know that sometimes it can be a struggle fitting it all into 1 macro and on a couple of occasions I've accidentally hit the incorrect macro after the first finishes, effectively sabotaging my own synth.

Let me know what you guys think! :D

If you want get programme with it, you need to allow one macro to call another.
Your repeat command, would simply become call macro X multiple times.
You create your limitation by on honouring only N levels of nesting.

My understanding of the suggestion was repeating a single line, not calling another macro.

Something like:
/ac "Basic Synthesis" <me> <wait.3> <repeat.3>

in place of:
/ac "Basic Synthesis" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Synthesis" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Synthesis" <me> <wait.3>

It wouldn't change the basic rules of what a macro can do, just condense it into using fewer lines (rather like the "<wait.3>" suffix compared to the separate "/wait 3" command that we used to have to use).

Oh, and yes, I'm in favor of the idea.

Yes, this is exactly what I had in mind. :)
