Sequence automation lets you chain together multiple actions in order, creating complex automation workflows. This guide covers advanced techniques for building reliable sequences that handle multiple steps, conditions, and edge cases.
Before building a sequence, plan out each step carefully. Identify all the actions you need to perform, the order they need to happen, and the timing between steps. Consider edge cases like what happens if a step fails or takes longer than expected.
Break complex tasks into smaller sequences that can be tested independently. This makes troubleshooting easier and helps identify which steps are causing problems.
Each step in a sequence needs appropriate timing. Too short and actions might not complete. Too long and you waste time. Test each step individually to find optimal timing, then adjust based on how steps interact.
Use random deviation to add variation to timing. This makes sequences look more natural and reduces detection risk. A deviation of 10-20% works well for most steps.
Plan for errors and failures. If a step might fail, add retry logic or error handling. Use click validation to detect failures and retry automatically. Consider what happens if a sequence gets out of sync.
Build sequences that can recover from errors. This might mean adding reset steps, error detection, or manual intervention points where you can correct issues.
Decide how sequences should loop. Some sequences should loop continuously, while others should loop a specific number of times. Consider adding delays between loops to allow systems to reset or process.
For long-running sequences, consider adding checkpoints where you can verify that everything is working correctly. This helps catch issues before they cause major problems.
Color detection can make sequences more responsive to actual game or application state. Instead of relying solely on fixed timers, use color detection to detect when actions complete or when conditions change.
This makes sequences more reliable because they respond to actual state rather than assumptions. Test color detection thoroughly to ensure it works correctly in your specific setup.
Test sequences thoroughly before running them on important tasks. Start with small loops, verify each step works correctly, then gradually increase complexity. Use visual area selection to verify click targets are correct.
Watch sequences run and look for issues. If steps are missing targets or timing seems off, adjust settings and test again. Keep sequences simple enough to troubleshoot effectively.
Once sequences work correctly, optimize them for efficiency. Reduce unnecessary delays, combine steps where possible, and streamline workflows. But don't optimize at the expense of reliability.
Consider the balance between speed and safety. Faster sequences are more efficient, but they're also more likely to have timing issues. Find the right balance for your specific use case.
Advanced sequence automation requires careful planning, thorough testing, and attention to detail. Build sequences step by step, test thoroughly, and optimize for both reliability and efficiency. With practice, you can create complex automation workflows that handle multiple steps and conditions reliably.
