What is 'autotabbing'?

[Slimeball Jasper]

I have played UO forever and have never heard anyone complain or mention 'autotabbing'

What does it do?
How does it help them win?
Is it a razor macro?

[BlackFoot]

a loop macro putting you in and out of war mode

a loop macro putting you in and out of war mode

Yes i'm pretty sure I figured this much out.
My question is, why are people complaining about it?

[blister]

I dont get how ppl work this out...

Do you just make a loop macro in razor and let it run and stop it when you want to hit your target, then start it again?

It might sound stupid but I don't have much experience of UO PvP since... IPY.. I guess

Thanks

i believe + - uses uo loop. i think it can still be downloaded at uoloop.com, if not might have to google it.

Ok I feel stupid but how do you swing if this thing keep you out of combat all the time..

I can see how you can do it with an archer but hardly with sword

[keuse]

Why do people do this I cant figure it out either?
How does it help people?

[blister]

I guess when you know how to do it you dont waste your swings

I used to put some tab out on my last target macro to make sure I dont punch someone after trowing an offensive spell but I dont know about a macro that loop it

[blister]

I guess you can set it on you arm/unarm macro so that when you arm your weapon it stops auto tabbing macro and when you unarm it restarts.. that's probably what I would do.. just my 2c.

I just tought of that but im not ingame to test it so.. it might not work at all

[Hoots]

I dont know the details but im pretty sure you need to use a attack last macro with it.

[Slade]

They spam tab to stay out of combat so their swings cannot be stolen.

Then they run up to whoever they're attacking and use "attack last".

Insta-hit guarantees the swing.


If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.



Exec: Toggle War/Peace
check loop
hit play

Man you people are ignorant.

[RoadKill]

It is very possible in razor.

[bigcheez]

i doubt + - uses auto tab but i have never fought them so im not sure

[Aminer]

Tabbing is merely a way to ensure a swing in combat, and it prevents a wasted hit from a punch.
