Here is the base tinkering macro I'm running. The restock pulls 3 ingots and I'm supposed to be making a mortar. I have 31 skill.

Assistant.Macros.HotKeyAction|0|Restock Agent-1
Assistant.Macros.AbsoluteTargetAction|0|0|1076323218|2155|532|9|3709
Assistant.Macros.PauseAction|00:00:05
Assistant.Macros.DoubleClickTypeAction|7868|True
Assistant.Macros.WaitForTargetAction|30
Assistant.Macros.TargetTypeAction|False|7154
Assistant.Macros.WaitForMenuAction|0|300
Assistant.Macros.MenuResponseAction|1|3999|0
Assistant.Macros.WaitForMenuAction|0|300
Assistant.Macros.MenuResponseAction|1|3739|0
Assistant.Macros.PauseAction|00:00:08

The problem is that randomly (Most of teh time actually) it hangs at the first WaitForMenuAction with messages of one or both of "What materials would you like to work with?" and "Target Cannot be seen."

The ingots are in my bag, the tinker's tool is there, but nothing seems to work. I've varied the timers and added them in various places. This happens whether the ingots are in the pack when the macro starts or whether they get restocked.

Almost every time I run this it hangs in that spot.

The main mistake people make with any type of macro like this is that they change the targeting of the ingots to target by type. Keep it as absolute target and it should work every time. If you do use a restock agent, hvae it pull one more than you plan to use on each craft, that way, the absolute target in your pack will always be there.

That was it. I was sitting in an opera last night pondering this and came to that realization. (Gotta do something during an opera) Tried it this morning and that did the trick. Thanks
