Stop a macro

Is there some way to break the macro besides /endmacro? If I'm stuck in a talk to vendor loop and its hitting u over and over i just dont have the skills to type faster than the computer. So is there some key sequence like ctrl + break that can stop macros?

/mqpause <on|off>

You could just make it an alias.

I've always found I can type /end damned quickly, when I think there's a chance something can screw me over

I've always wanted a hotkey, but with the advent of the telnet server, thats a ship that has sailed.

I bind /endmacro to 1 and try to click on it or just mash down ctrl and shift until the macro gets stuck at something.

I was running into something similiar I wanted a task to run and then give me a point at which I could end themacro.

I was thinking about trying the /delay command and have the macro pause at a certain point allowing me to end it there.

I have not made the mod to my script yet but that was one of my ideas for dealing with this issue.

Of course I am still filtering through the read me and this maybe a wrong approach.

how do you end a macro by filename ?? or can you only end all macros ??? I looked everywhere /endmacro macro.mac does not appear to work

I will try setting

:end1
/endmacro
/return

and then useing /goto end1

or is it better to use /if end1 == 1 /goto :end1

and then /setvar end1 1

dont have EQ on my computer to test it now one of them is bound to work like I want it ..

You can put an event in for mouse movement to puase the current macro... hmm or possibly an event to look for the mouse in a certain corner of the screen...as MQ is now when you take mouse control MQ looses it so anything to do with the mouse stopping it will work.

I personally just use a hotbutton /ho stop /endmacro will make one on your cursor.
/ho makes the hotbotten in game
stop names the button stop
/endmacro is what it will do when pressed.

Code: Select all

/IF $target(name)==$char(name) {
	/end
}

*edit* Forgot the most blatant part..

Just press F1 to end the macro.

When I know a certain part of my code has a chance of looping indefinitely, I create a time-out var to count down to 0 from like 10 secs (or whatever) to auto-pause or shutdown the script.

Just an easy way to terminate a turbo-loop that could run forever.

Code: Select all

/varset t0 100 |set timer 0 to 10 secs

:SomeLoop
|Code to do
/if $t0==0 /delay ## or /endm if this loop should never take 10 secs
/doevents
/goto :SomeLoop

Hope this helps
