Resource Sampling Loop

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

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

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.

Trader macros first, then the rest of the SWG library.

Announce Your Buff
Entertainer
```
/say Entertainer buffs available, just ask;
/pause 60;
/macro buffannounce;
```
Tells the cantina what you are offering on a timer. Half of the SWG social economy ran on macros exactly like this one.
Combat Rotation Loop
General
```
/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.

Crafting Loop
Trader
```
/ui action defaultButton;
/pause 2;
/ui action defaultButton;
/pause 2;
/ui action defaultButton;
/pause 3;
/macro craftloop;
```
+2 more
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.
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.
ME
Cure Every State
Medic
```
/curestate poisoned;
/pause 2;
/curestate diseased;
/pause 2;
/curestate bleeding;
```
Walks through the state cures so one button handles whichever condition has landed. The ones that do not apply fail harmlessly.
EN
Dance Loop
Entertainer
```
/dance basic;
/pause 120;
/flourish 1;
/pause 10;
/macro danceloop;
```
Starts a dance, waits, and restarts itself. Entertainers have kept cantinas running on this exact macro for over twenty years.
ME
Doctor Buff Line
Medic
```
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 3;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause 3;
/tell %TT Buffs done, safe travels;
```
Buffs your target, announces it and moves on. Doctor buff lines outside starports were a fixture of the game and ran almost entirely on macros like this.
TR
Vendor Advertisement
Trader
```
/shout Vendor stocked at Coronet, waypoint on request;
/pause 300;
/macro vendorad;
```
Advertises your vendor on a timer in the local channel. Player cities lived on this, and it is why walking through Coronet felt like walking through a market.
