Trader macros

/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 3;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause 3;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/pause 3;
/macro combatloop;

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

/ui action defaultButton;
/pause 2;
/ui action defaultButton;
/pause 2;
/ui action defaultButton;
/pause 3;
/macro craftloop;

Drives the crafting window slot by slot to produce a batch of identical items. SWG crafting has many confirmation clicks, and this is how crafters got through hundreds of them.

/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;
/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.

/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;
/pause 2;
/join;

Invites your target and then joins. Buff lines and hunting parties both start with this pair of commands.

/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.

/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.

/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.

/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.

/sample;
/pause 20;
/ui action defaultButton;
/pause 2;
/macro sampleloop;

Repeatedly samples a resource node. Sampling is slow and repetitive by design, and this is the macro every Trader writes on their first day.

/afk Buffing on request, tell me;
/pause 1;

Marks you away with a message. Entertainers and buff vendors leave these running for hours, which is exactly the culture this game built.
