Need help with macros

Postby bouli » Thu Mar 14, 2024 4:06

Hi,

A bit of context :
I use a GLADIATOR NXT EVO ‘SPACE COMBAT EDITION’ Premium Right, am on Elite Dangerous and want to macro some Pips management.
Exactly, I want to do some sequences of buttons. Said buttons are buttons 6 to 9 (A3 zone), in Elite they're bound to Pips. My 5 macros are set on buttons 29 to 33 (C1 zone). The sequences I have planned work as I want (I've tested them manually, not in macro, by pressing the buttons in the planned sequence order), however when used in macros, only macro #1 work as intended (mapped on button 33), the rest do not render consistent results. I'm puzzled...

#1 is a sequence of 8 buttons, works like a charm
#2 is a sequence of 10 buttons, non consistent results and never what I expect
#3 is a sequence of 5 buttons, when activating it with a press of button 30, I constantly got what I would expect from #2
#4 is a sequence of 4 buttons, non consistent results and never what I expect
#5 is a sequence of 3 buttons, non consistent results and never what I expect

If someone could point to me my mistakes, I would be grateful !
Thanks in advance

You have a little confusion in understanding the macro number and timing, but this can be easily corrected by looking at the picture.
Let me explain that you can only run the second macro of 4 buttons, you just need to assign a button to it. As well as only the 5th of the two. Try lowering it from 50ms, but this does not guarantee work in ED.

Ok, got it. Works well now, even at 10 ms.
Thank you very much Ron61 !
