Newbie Question - Macro to make bandages?

[iand1821]

I just started playing yesterday after not having played for over 10 years (use to play pacific) and I'm enjoying it a lot!

I just went and got a bunch of wool from the sheep pens in Yew, and am not cutting the cloth into bandages. I am a little familiar with Razor and have made some arms lore, eval int and hiding macros. I tried to make one to cut the cloth into bandages (it only makes one bandage at a time) and when I run my macro it doesn't work.

Any advice?

Thanks

Where's it stop? What does/doesn't it do?

Ok get your scissors and pile of cut cloth

As you've made a few macros I'll just lay out exactly how to do it

Make a new one entirely, call it 'cut cloth' etc or w/e

Make sure scissors and cloth are in backpack

Hit 'Record'

Double Click Scissors

Target Cloth

Hit 'Stop'

You will now see 3 Commands in the macro:

Double Click 0x32234234
Wait for Target
Absolute Target

now - Right click the first command in your macro, it should say "Double Click 0x32234234" or w/e number, second from the bottom is 'Convert to DClick by Type - Choose this one

The command should now read as "Double Click Scissors (0F9E)"

Right Click that command again, and choose "Special Constructs" at the very bottom, choose "Insert Pause/Wait.."
Pause for 1000 ms

Now Right Click the next command "Wait for Target" and choose "Edit Timeout.."
change the value from 30 to 1

Now Right Click "Absolute Target" and choose "Convert to Target by Type"

Finally, Check the Loop Box in the bottom right hand corner


Now you are ready to go, it will cut 1 cloth a second or so until you're done

Extra Info:

The pause of 1000ms (1 second) is nice because you won't jam up your client and freeze the macro or worse - cut nothing. The timeout is also important to change from 30 to 1 because if you do fail to cut or jam your razor, it won't take a 300 second pause (5 mins) and will restart after a 10 sec pause instead.

And the convert to type and dclick by type are nice in case your scissors move or you switch chars

I believe the pause will work with 850 vs. 1000

I believe the pause will work with 850 vs. 1000

Depends on latency. The shard's official item/action delay is 1 second.

thanks for the help guys! I asked a guy at the brit bank and he kindly gave me the macro and I got it working now.
