Steal Macro

[Zempten]

Hi

I'm just wondering is there any way to make a steal macro with a echo command to tell you when it is ready? I tried doing this but it does seem to be working

/ja "Steal" <t>
/wait 20 /wait 20 /wait 20
/wait 20 /wait 20 /wait 20
/wait 20 /wait 20 /wait 20
/wait 20 /wait 20 /wait 20
/wait 20 /wait 20 /wait 20 /echo Steal Ready

It doesn't seem to be working so is there possibly a better way to know when it is ready? Or am I forced to look at Steal to see when it is refreshed manually (Like by going to the menu to abilities and then looking at steal)?

Thanks for any help

Everyone knows for macro, the maximum number of cmds you can add into 1 single macro is only 6 lines and the max timing of each wait cannot exceed xx seconds.(i am not sure how much is xx but i think it is 30 now, use to be 20)

So theoretically, the best you can do is this (assuming 30 is the maximum wait you can have)

/ja steal <t>
/wait 30
/wait 30
/wait 30
/wait 30
/party 3 mins more to go

Ever wonder why SE allow wait up till only such a small value and not 300. Because if you were to excecute a macro tat runs so long, it is not going to be efficent, because of the fact tat only 1 macro can be running at any time.

Say you used the above macro, from the time you used tat macro till the time the /party text is displayed, should you use any other macro, tat steal macro would be aborted.

Eg: if you use a provoke macro within the 2 mins wait period after you use the steal macro, the /party text will never appear on your screen. And now.. you even wanted to wait for up to 5mins.

Just as a polite, general request.. refrain from making macros that add to PT spam for no reason. If it is something important, such as 'Provoke ready is 15 seconds', great. People need to know that. But 'HAHAHA I STOLED TEH BABIES!' is not something everyone really wants to have on their screen every five minutes ^^

If you just want to do a macro reminder, use /echo and your text will appear on your screen.

This public service request was brought to you by the letter C, and partyslapper, the rdm with the 4 lines of /party spam whenever he casts enWater.

Oh Anya, if only more people knew how to use /echo...

I love being in parties and getting spam every 3 seconds about someone's abilities being xx seconds away from use. That's great, really, helps us out a lot...not.
