Macro express for online gaming

[MBone]

I am wondering if the macro express can be set up to so that I can play with the online game eve-online.com. I want to run use this to set up so that I can mine on the game on my second computer with minimal supervision. I have tried the trial and know that it will work with the game. What I am asking is that I set up all the macro to do what I need. Then at different point it need to go dump the load that has been gathered or to relock a target. Is there away to make the macro express do this. So that is making some kind of decision on what to do next.

That's the question we all ask ourselves about every app for which we want a macro: how do we get Macro Express to decide what to do next? There are plenty of commands. You'll need to take the time to learn and use them. Try a few things.

Floyd's right but I would go on to say that there is almost always a way to fedback data from the application and make decisions. But without knowing how the game works and what the interface it there could be a thousand and one ways to make that decision. And even the methods that will work often need to be considered carefully as to which would work best. It's like getting driving directions from LA to NY. You could take a northern path or a southern path. The southern path may be longer but if you don't have snow tires it might be a better bet tis time of year. TO do what you ask you need to become familiar with all the tools in the Macro Express toolbox and know how th egame works ot offer suggestions. So you need to either learn ME or pass along all the info about your application so one of us could make a suggestion. But there probably is a way as long as the game allows ME to work in it.

 

One thing you might look at first is Get Pixel Color. I am not a gamer but it seems that due to interface limitations gamers often like to use this. You simply look at a particular pixel's color every second or so and when it changes you do something. Then look at the conditional features in ME. For instance in this case you would set the pixel color to an integer and test that IF N1 = 12345 then do something or Else.
