When you say that this macro works for you, I'll guess that you've written yourself a function TargetNearestFriendly() that automatically selects the next target for you. Using a for loop will not work as you will need to wait some time before using the next item. In Lua this would need OnUpdate, which will prevent you from using Items, Skills, etc.

Put your two macro lines into a simple lua function:

	Source code
1 2 3 4	function EDrink() TargetNearestFriendly(Exhausted Alliance Warrior) UseItemByName("Energy Drink") end

Then you can create a macro that executes this function 10 times. Replace x with the number of seconds to wait. For the first time I would suggest the cast time when using the item (if there is any) plus another second. Depending on your system performance and your ping you might be able to lower it a bit.

Source code

/run EDrink()
/wait x
/run EDrink()
/wait x
/run EDrink()
/wait x
/run EDrink()
/wait x
/run EDrink()
/wait x
/run EDrink()
/wait x
/run EDrink()
/wait x
/run EDrink()
/wait x
/run EDrink()
/wait x
/run EDrink()

Or you could just stand in one spot, hotkey the original macro, and then rotate the view of your toon around while using the hotkey.

The macro in the first post doesn't work very well

I tried the original macro formula, and it didn't work. The selection process failed after the first subject (it kept selection the same soldier who had just had a drink). So maybe that was the problem the poster was encountering, rather than just trying to avoid having to click the macro symbol 10 times for each daily? I find 10 clicks a trivial labor for a completed daily.

Anyway, this macro works for me, but ya gotta keep clicking, and a little rotation along 90 degrees helps keep unsatisfied subjects in the selection field.

/script TargetNearestFriend()
/run UseItemByName("Energy Drink")

I use the macro in the first slot. works well for dailies, if you want them to loop it sounds like you're trying to BOT eoj. As i see a lot of people doing on Palenque. I suggest you ask Princess or miz how they do it.

There is an ingame macro the just requires you to focus everyone, including the quest person.

Don't have it anymore though.

I do like this:
/run TargetUnit("focus1")
/cast Attack
/cast Attack
/run TargetNearestFriend() //start repeating from here
/use Energy Drink
/wait .3 //end of the repeating

copy and paste those 3 last lines as much as you can
i use ExtendedMacroItems addon, that increases the addon character max lenght to 750ish, which helps a lot on this kind of macro.

then you can focus the npc that gives the quest, have Daily Notes on auto turn in and accept the quest, auto rotate and spam the macro every 3~4 secs.

to auto rotate, hold Q or E down, press Enter twice while holding Q or E, and then release it. you shouild be auto camera rotating untill you press the key again(the one you first started rotating with.

2~3 mins all 10 dailies are done

, using daily notes, ExtendedMacroItems, auto rotate and my macro, and summon as many pets as you can, anything you target works for the quest.

I think tht's the point. If you hold a key down and press enter, the game counts that as you holding down the key even after releasing it. Although this doesn't work for me now, I'm assuming its due to changes in either the game itself or my interface settings, but this used to work.

I used to use this to auto run in diagonals xD

Well, i just tested it here, and it's working for me.
step by step:
1. Hold Q down
2. Press enter twice(i do it fast, idk if it's needed) so you are still holding Q down, open and close the chat box
3. Release Q, and you should be autorotating, untill your press Q again.

it works for all of the move keys, WASD, Q and E, and you can press more than one at the same time. To cancel the auto move/rotate press the key(s) again.

and you can always just hold Q or E while doing the daily. Just allows you to do something else while spamming the button every few seconds.
