Combat Rotation Loop

Cycles three toolbar abilities and repeats. Works for any combat profession because it addresses slots rather than named abilities.

Where to paste this

Open Options, choose the Macro tab and click New.
Give the macro a name and an icon — the name is what other macros call it by.
Write commands one per line, ending each with a semicolon.
Use /ui action toolbarSlot00; to press a toolbar button, counting slots from 0.
Finish with /macro yourname; to loop, and drag the macro onto a toolbar slot to start it.

More SWG macros

Create an Alias
General
```
/alias inv /invite;
```
Aliases wrap a command behind a shorter name and can be called from macros. Useful for anything you type constantly but do not want a whole macro for.
Follow a Player
General
```
/follow;
/pause 1;
```
Follows your current target until you move. SWG planets are enormous and following someone who knows the way is a genuine time saver.
Getting Pauses Right
General
```
/pause 0.1;
/pause 1;
/pause 5;
```
The minimum is a tenth of a second, but anything under a full second is unreliable under load. Most working macros use two seconds or more between actions.
Invite and Form a Group
General
```
/invite;
/pause 2;
/join;
```
Invites your target and then joins. Buff lines and hunting parties both start with this pair of commands.
Loot Everything Nearby
General
```
/loot;
/pause 2;
/nextcorpse;
```
Loots the corpse you have targeted. Chained onto the end of a combat macro it turns a grind into something you barely have to watch.
Make a Macro Loop
General
```
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 4;
/macro myloop;
```
A macro that calls its own name on the last line runs forever. This one line is the reason SWG macros are remembered the way they are — and the reason you should always know how to stop one.
Post to a Chat Channel
General
```
/say Selling resources at the bazaar;
/gu Anyone need a doc buff?;
```
SWG separates spatial chat from planet-wide channels. /say is local, /shout carries further, and guild chat keeps your city organised.
Press a Toolbar Button
General
```
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 2;
```
Drives the interface directly by pressing a toolbar slot. Slots run 0 to 23 — the top row is 0 to 11 and the bottom row is 12 to 23 — which is how macros use abilities they cannot name directly.
