  • quick macro question

    Im trying to make a macro to just perform sneak attack on myself.
    My normal sneak attack macro goes right into fast blade but i like saving up to 300% tp b4 using it so i made one to use inbetween full tp with normal attacks

    heres my prob. I dont like having to check to see if the minute inbetween has passed so i made this macro

    /ja "Sneak Attack" <me>
    /wait 60
    /echo Sneak Attack ready

    when i use that it performs sneak attack and then immediatly says sneak attack ready

    so i figured maybe it doesnt recognize a whole 60 seconds so i dropped itt to 59, got the same results

    so then i assumed the echo part was throwing it off so i switched it to a /tell ninjamonkeh heh .. that also didnt wait the time b4 telling me

    so my question is how can i get it to wait then tell me .. If possible id perfer to not use a /p cause it will clutter party chat.
    my provoke macro uses /p to tell ppl when its ready and works fine. any help would be appreciated

    The maximum wait time you can use is /wait 20

    So you need

    /ja "Sneak Attack" <me>
    /wait 20
    /wait 20
    /wait 20
    /echo Sneak Attack Ready


    Note: although that makes it wait for a count of 60 you might find the timing to be different to the sneak attack timer itself and adjust it slightly. Can't login to check the exact waits I use in my sneak macro atm.

      ahh ok ... hmm square should fix that in a patch maxium wait of 20 thats odd when they only give you 6 lines specially since i wanted a macro like this

      /p Using [Sneak attack] + [Fast Blade]
      /equip Main small sword
      /wait 3
      /ja "Sneak Attack" <me>
      /wait 1
      /ws "Fast Blade" <t>
      /equip Main Flame sword

      keep in mind i have never used a equip macro and dont know how yet .(a bit more experimenting that i dont have time for heh)

      the equip i have there is what i assume i use if its not pls correct me ... (im at work and cant test anything out yet heh)

      *edit* do i have to unequip b4 equiping?

        That's wrong NinjaMonkeh, macros can only have 5 lines max and also, when you switch weapons/ammo TP goes back to 0%
