Officer macros

Buffs the group, calls in orbital strikes and drops supply crates. The support backbone of any organised group.

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.
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.

Officer Buff Rotation
Officer
```
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 3;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/pause 3;
/group Buffs are up;
```
Fires your command buffs in sequence with pauses long enough for each to land. Officers reapply these constantly, and doing it by hand costs attention you need elsewhere.
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.
Set Yourself Away
General
```
/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.
Stop Every Running Macro
General
```
/dump;
```
Kills all running macros immediately. Learn this before you write your first loop, because a runaway macro will happily keep going until you close the client.

Every profession shares the same macro syntax, so a good idea usually ports across.
