Simple windower command repeating tool for FFXI.
# Repeater

Commands
Simple command repeating tool for FFXI Windower.

//repeater Gives current settings for repeater.
## Commands

//repeater command Sets the line following as a windower command to be repeated.
- `//repeater` - Show current settings and status
- `//repeater help` - Display available commands
- `//repeater command <command>` - Set the command to repeat
- `//repeater delay <seconds>` - Set delay between repeats (default: 10)
- `//repeater count <number|forever>` - Set repeat count (default: forever)
- `//repeater repeat` - Toggle repeating on/off
- `//repeater on/start/go` - Start repeating
- `//repeater off/stop/quit` - Stop repeating

//repeater delay Sets the delay between repeat in seconds.
## Examples

//repeater on/start/go Starts repeating the command you set.

//repeater stop/quit/off Stops repeating the command.

//repeater repeat Starts or stops the command repeating.

//repeater count Determines how many times to repeat the action, default is forever.

Example uses:

Lastsynth: Can be used to repeat your last synth multiple times.
**Crafting:** Repeat last synthesis
```
//repeater command input /lastsynth
```

**Shouts:** Repeat a shout every 30 seconds
```
//repeater delay 30
//repeater command input /shout Selling items! <pos>
```

**Spells:** Cast spell repeatedly
```
//repeater command input /ma "Cure" <me>
```

**Job Abilities:** Use abilities (quotes auto-added for abilities with spaces)
```
//repeater command input /ja "Chakra" <me>
```

**Timers:** Set reminders
```
//repeater delay 300
//repeater count 1
//repeater command input /echo 5-minute timer expired!
```

Shouts: Can be used to shout something over and over again.
//repeater command input /shout Selling Alexandrite <pos>!

Spells: Can be used to cast a spell over and over.
//repeater command input /ma "Fire" <t>

Auctioneer: Can be used to repeatedly buy something while afk, specifically:
//repeater command buy Alexandrite 1 700000
## Notes

As a timer: Can use it to remind yourself of a pop time.
//repeater delay 300
//repeater command input /echo Guy with a 5 minute repop is popping now!
- Commands automatically stop when changing zones
- Job abilities with spaces are automatically quoted correctly
- Use `//repeater repeat` to quickly toggle on/off
