Macro Pausing Itself....

[SingleServing]

I have a macro set to automatically reply when it receives tells...

It works great gets the job done, only problem when it reply's

Macro Quest gets paused for some reason

/mqpause

Anyone know how to prevent this from happening when using chat commands?

Anyone have a problem with the macro pausing on them without ever putting a /mqpause command in your macro?

I would venture a guess that this is a safety override put in by plaz...

See, if your little bot is talking on a *real* channel and somehow gets foobared (you forgot a /return or there's a lag spike or something fun like that) and you start blathering in a real channel, you attract attention to yourself very fast.

Attracting attention to yourself = among other things, attracting attention here.

I might assume that you'll have to edit source to eliminate this override, although I don't think I'd advise that...It would stink to get stuck in open channel and be blithering failed parses or whatever else exists w/i your macro.

It might be as simple as putting in a /delay 3 /mqpause following the reply, whereby it would wait 3 seconds and then *unpause*, although I'm not sure of the syntax for ending a pause. I'd suggest a peek at the readme.

Them's just my advice. hehe.

Hmm, anyone able to remove this check and compile it? I only have 6.0 no .NET stuff...

I have timers AND counters on my replys to prevent any sort of evil infinite loop spam =)

I have written a new macro and see if this problem replicates itself with clean code...
