Confusion on how to loop lua macros

[Zimmerson]

Hi all,

VERY new to writing lua, ie, i've literally only touched upon Lua today and I've made this so far.

-- /requirestats 3900 3600 580
if (HasStats(3900, 3600, 580))
then
yield('/echo "You have the appropiate Stats"')
else
yield('/echo "you do not have the required stats to make this item"')
yield('/runmacro "WellFed"')
end

-- if you're below 10% durability, full repair
if (NeedsRepair(5))
then
yield('/echo "Initiating Repairs"')
yield('/runmacro "Repair Gear"')
else
yield('/echo "Your durability is fine"')
end

if CanExtractMateria(100)
then
yield('/runmacro "MateriaExtraction"')
end

-- Crafts
yield('/craft 10')

--Craft Macro
"-----"
"-----"
yield('/click synthesize <wait.3>')
yield('/ac "Muscle Memory" <wait.3>')
yield('/ac Manipulation <wait.2>')
yield('/ac Veneration <wait.2>')
yield('/ac "Waste Not" <wait.2>')
yield('/ac "Final Appraisal" <wait.2>')
yield('/ac "Groundwork" <wait.3>')
yield('/ac "Groundwork" <wait.3>')
yield('/ac "Groundwork" <wait.3>')
yield('/ac "Innovation" <wait.2>')
yield('/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>')
yield('/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>')
yield('/ac "Standard Touch" <wait.3>')
yield('/ac "Advanced Touch" <wait.3>')
yield('/ac Manipulation <wait.2>')
yield('/ac Innovation <wait.2>')
yield('/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>')
yield('/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>')
yield('/ac "Standard Touch" <wait.3>')
yield('/ac "Advanced Touch" <wait.3>')
yield('/ac Innovation <wait.2>')
yield('/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>')
yield('/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>')
yield('/ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3>')
yield('/echo Craft finished <se.2>')
yield('/wait 1')

I'm REALLY struggling to know how the hell I loop this macro. I did have:
yield("/recipe Grade 7 Tincture of Strength <wait.5>")
yield('/click synthesis_material2_hq <wait.1>')

These two commands linked where the "-----"s were. But if I have them there - it crashes as the recipe crafting log is already open.

So - I put it on another macro that calls the main crafting Macro (ie the one above). Which then leads me to my current issue.

How the hell do you loop this?! I want to loop this macro X amount of times. I've been trying to figure this out all day and i'm spent.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks,

Zimmerson
