JMacro Readme
JMacro can be used to automate many tasks. It was designed to be used in conjunction with applications which require a lot of repetitious input (mainly games).
The macro syntax is described below. The delimiter between commands is any type of whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines). All durations are entered in milliseconds. All commands are case sensitive. The syntax supports comments in the form of //comment and /*comment*/
Settings
All settings can be overridden within the macro script as detailed in the Commands section below
Loop
Check this option if the macro script should never stop executing
Event Delay
The default pause, in milliseconds, between each command
Initial Start Delay
The amount of time to pause between pressing the Start button and starting the macro

Looping Commands
loop ( count , command(s) )

timedLoop ( duration , command(s) )

Pause Command

Move the mouse to the specified coordinates. To measure coordinate location, the current mouse coordinates are always displayed in the lower-right corner of the JMacro window
Setting Overrides
//override_loop (true|false)

//override_initial_delay milliseconds
Examples
Press the left mouse button, then press W for ten seconds
mouseLeft
W(10000)
While holding down shift and the W key, click the left mouse button repeatedly for twenty seconds
shift(20000, continue)
