Having trouble setting a Macro up in Default CC - Anyone can help ?

edited October 23 in General Discussions

I am trying to make a Macro in the Default Classic Client.

I want the macro to do the following : 

- Dress a certain gear (including a Talisman)
- Unequip whatever I am holding in the right (a spellbook) and left (Veilkeeper's Branch) hand
- Cast Ninjitsu Animal Form --> Ferret (so that I get the additional +10 stealing skill)

Now, I record in the Classic Client the following (after I have previously recorded all I was dressing with another Macro) : 
 
- Dress --> Dress2
- Delay --> 10
- Arm/Disarm --> Right Hand
- Delay --> 10
- Arm/Disarm --> Left Hand
- Delay --> 10
- Cast Spell --> Animal Form (here I could not find where to select the Ferret form)

When I execute the macro, the Dress2 part works, then I get a message "You must wait to perform another action" twice and I assume this is the Arm/Disarm for Right and Left hands which does not work, and then I get the Animal Form gump up and need to select Ferret manually.

I thought that the Delay "10" was too short but, when I went to edit my marco to increase the delay, it is all messed up with the Delays not where I set them ...the Macro is written as follows...

- Dress --> Dress2
- Arm/Disarm --> Right Hand
- Arm/Disarm --> Left Hand
- Cast Spell --> Animal Form (here I could not find where to select the Ferret form)
- Delay --> 10
- Delay --> 10
- Delay --> 10

I did noy touch it... it "self-screwed" so to speak...

Then I thought to separate the two hands Arm/Disarm into another Macro but I could neither make this other Macro to Arm/Disarm both hands get to work...

- Arm/Disarm --> Left Hand
- Delay --> 10
- Arm/Disarm --> Right Hand

The left hand gets disarmed of the Veilkeeper's Branch but the Spellbook stays firm in the Right Hand...

So, I thought to separate the Arm/Disarm into 2 separate macros but, while the Arm/Disarm for the Left Hand (the Veilkeepr's Branch) works, the one for the Right Hand (the spellbook) does not work.

Lastly, I would REALLY want to execute all of this in 1 macro and not have to make 3 macros to get my stealing suit on (plus the +10 Stealing from the Ferret Animal Form) and disarm both hands so that my hands are free to be able to steal whatever there is to steal...

Can anyone please help me out to get this Macro to work in the Default Classic Client ?

    You should just hire someone to play for you.  You seem to have no fun playing UO.
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    Or, perhaps, making macros to make gameplay smoother could be more player friendly ?

    Why should players get all frustrated and stressed out when trying to set up macros to make their gameplay be smoother and more players friendly ?

    There is players out there who actually use "some clients" other then the default ones to be able to run long scripts that do pretty much most gameplay automatedly...

    I am just trying, with the Default Classic Client, just for the record, not with some "alternate" client... to make a macro work that gives my character a certain suit/gear, drops whatever it might have in both hands so that the stealing can take place, and turns the character into a Ferret to get an additional (needed) +10 stealing skill. This, in 1 single macro so that I do not need to use up too many buttons of my mouse for too many separate macros to get this action done.

    Is that too much to ask, in order to better enjoy the playing of the game if I may ask ?

    You shouldn't need to ask this question to Paiwan.. he totally agrees with you, let me quote him:
    "Leave attended paying accounts alone, these people go thru a lot of trouble to automate the game."

    He just refuse to help people.. you need to go where he went; thru a lot of trouble to automate your game.

    PS: you are asking a lot from the default client, i'd say too much (1 macro for this u'd need a legit illegal client).. If I were you I'd use the undress command from default (since it's faster than UOA) and do a redress macro with UOAssist.
    So rather than recognise the effort the botters went to, to set all that up - for the benefit of the players, to help get certain items, something you could never be bothered to do, you would rather drag people backwards to your neanderthal world?

    Leave attended paying accounts alone, these people go thru a lot of trouble to automate the game.

    It’s comical to me you are so frightened of somehow bod scripters get some sort of advantage.

    Hmmm... does that mean that, within the Default Classic Client, this macro "cannot" be done, period ?

    If I were you I'd use the undress command from default (since it's faster than UOA) and do a redress macro with UOAssist.

    The Redress with UOAssist is also way too slow, UOAssist picks the items 1 at a time and before all would be worn it would take too long... also, I would then need another macro for the Animal Form into a Ferret and that would mean 3 separate macros just to get readied to perform the steal...

    I do not like having to deal with keyboards keys for macros... they are too slow to use and easy to make mistakes when, in the heat of action, I press a wrong key which usually results in getting killed... I much prefer to use the mouse buttons but I only have a limited number of buttons on the mouse so, I need to really limit the number of macros that I need to have and use...

    I do not understand why it has to be so complicated and frustrating to be able to enjoy playing the game... @Kyronix, can you please make the Macros for the Default Classic Client be more player friendly ?

    The only dress thing I have used is Equip last weapon.  I have fun when I play.  Simple is better.

    If you need a better template MAKE IT.  Don't use excuses.  A ton of players are doing chests, they are not doing all that.
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    If u do find a way to do that 3 for 1 on default, let me know. Personally we needed UOA back then to swap weapons or drink pots with a shield and a weapon equip.

    I know people were mentionning when I came back, like you did, UOA is now slower than default to change outfits.

    So rather than recognise the effort the botters went to, to set all that up - for the benefit of the players, to help get certain items, something you could never be bothered to do, you would rather drag people backwards to your neanderthal world?

    Man that woulda hurt if he did.

    Can be easily done in the ec I have many set up that way but for a skill like stealing with so many items to boost it it's not worth the bother...

    @popps CC's macro system is old and not easy to work with. It has never been possible to easily edit an existing macro. Your best way of dealing with this is to delete the macro and make a new one.
