UO Second Age

I'm trying as hard as I can to understand the more complicated macros of razor but I just cant get around to it...

I'd like to make a few macros that would do something like this:

cast lightning
pause
cast lightning
pause
cast lightning
meditate
grab reagents from the bank or whatever
loop

The trouble is, how can I tell it to cast again when the spell fizzles? or to use the meditate skill again if I failed.. and so on... until the macro works perfect.

Another macro I'd like to make work to gain on taming...

tame closest creature
rename to "something"
release

Taming always take a different amount of time, it's not always successful, making it very hard to insert timers and such... Can I even tell it to target the closest creature?

How can I make things work? Is there a macro 101 guide somewhere? Does anyone have good macros that would work in these types of situations?

I appreciate all your help.
Thank you!

This is a "short" razor guide I made a while ago. Also, do a search on these forums and there are other magery macros. I think what you are looking for is the "if (sysmesage)". So, If system message "fizzle", cast, or If system message "fail", use meditation. Something along those lines.

As for targeting, check out the razor hotkeys>targets and see if you can "target closes grey". I dont know if that will translate into the macro.

UseMeditation Skill
If (mana >= {you max mana})
Exec: Restock agent-1
Pause 2.00 sec
Absolute Target
Pause 2.00 sec
Cast spell {spell of your choice}
pause 2.50 sec
absolute target
pause 2.00 sec

-the first absolute target is the is the container that contains the regs
-the second one is the target that receives the spell
-all times could probable be adjusted a wee bit, but it works fine.
-restock agent picks up 2 of each reg for the spell required.

I've got a magery/resist macro I've run that works like this (rough pseudocode):

1. Check hit points and magery; if high enough cast lightning bolt on self
2. Check hit points; if below a certain number cast "Greater Heal" on self
3. Check mana; if below a certain point, meditate.
4. If successful, wait until mana is back up; otherwise just wait long enough that the next attempt to meditate isn't going to fail because previous attempt was too recent.

You loop this, and you can walk away from it so long as there's enough regs in your pack and you're not too worried about being found by a PK. (This will not work in town; resist does not gain in town.) This will work at any level of meditation (because of the mana check at the beginning)... though higher meditation will make the macro run faster.
