A Macro Problem

[shire99]

I'm trying to macro provo and I just can't get the macro to actually target myself. I have no idea what the problem could be. In game I can target myself fine, and the macro includes a target self life with sufficient pauses before and after. But, while the macro is running my char just stands there with the cursor up, only gaining in music and not provo.

What could be the problem? Thanks a lot for any response cause I'm getting really frustrated :/

When you start the macro, are you sure it's not saying "What instrument would you like to play with?"
That could screw your macro up. Before you start the macro, doubleclick your instrument - it should work fine.

Otherwise I don't know. Unless you forget to target the animal before you target yourself.

This is so strange. Yeah, I'm double clicking the instrument, then record, click provo, then the polar bear, then self. I pause 11000 ms.

my macro is like this (super simple; too simple, but still won't work):

use provo
wait for target
absolute target
wait for target
targetself
pause 11000 ms

Very, very frustrating. I don't know what to do.

just come to the minoc stables ( there is a few of us here ) stand in one stall and provo 2 animals in two of the other stalls just make sure they arent in the same as each other or the one with you obviously. I dont know why it wont target yourself but if it wont work just switch to 2 creatures. Have you tried leaving the target self part of the macro as just absolute target and not changing it to target self I know it doesnt make any sense and what you are doing should work but give it a try.
