Lazy Macros How To's
41

Hello,

Though this topic ‘died’ in 2015 I hope someone is till reading it.

I have a very strange problem with GSE. I created a macro, nothing fancy, and execute it on a auto-repeat key.
The macro works for a while but during raids it stops. Sometimes after a few seconds, sometimes after 20 minutes…
When using the macro outside the instance, in a regular group (mostly 2 players), there’s no problem.

I use GSE 2.1.04 in combination with a Logitech G15 keyboard. The macro key is set for autorepeat (200ms). The keybinding is CTRL-SHIFT-A

The macro:

Sequences['Boss'] = {
-- This Sequence was exported from GSE 2.1.04.
  Author="Lytsepier@Turalyon",
  SpecID=254,
  Talents = "1313311",
  Default=1,
  MacroVersions = {
    [1] = {
      StepFunction = "Sequential",
      KeyPress={
      },
      PreMacro={
        "/targetenemy [noharm][dead]",
        "/startattack",
        "/castsequence  reset=target  Aimed Shot, 0",
      },
        "/cast Trueshot",
        "/cast A Murder of Crows",
        "/cast Bursting Shot",
        "/cast Windburst",
        "/cast Marked Shot",
        "/cast Aimed Shot",
        "/cast Sidewinders",
      PostMacro={
      },
      KeyRelease={
      },
    },
  },
}

I hope someone can help me with this problem.

Maybe this helps:
Try to move "/castsequence reset=target Aimed Shot, 0", from Pre to Main Macro

What are you trying to do with 0? Whats your reasoning behing trying to use it?

Also as its in the keypress option and its on the gcd, if you dont have the resources to use the skill it will lock up until available.

Skills off the gcd can work or singke kines which will end in null will work since its not expected to call that line again until conditionals are met

0 means nothing to wow so it will not be able to progress the macro at times and is the only thing you have in the macro which will lock it up

That first castsequence might be a relic from an old macro, tried it too without it but the result is the same.

Running out of energy is not the matter now (I know it is, but not for this question). Energy or not, it’s strange that GSE hangs after a while.

Because the macro locks I have 3 near identical ones (G1, G2 and G3), if the pre macro is faulty why do the following macro’s lock too?
I often begin my (LFR) raid with the first sequence (BOSS), when it stops I continue with the second and if needed (when that stops too) I end with the third.
This should not be the right way, any idea why all these macro’s stop?

It’s not only my character, my brother, who plays warlock, has the same problem.

My macro’s:
