Handy macro for foragers

Post by cloudy97 »

http://www.vaguelibrary.com/pics/tarsource.jpg

This macro makes targeting a source much easier, especially when you dig around fat mobs. I use Knowledge 1, anything above that would be too hard to handle. I couldn't write [ and ] on my keyboard so I had to write it on Notepad and copy it.

And no comments about the hair, please ;)

Edit: I have my standard dig action as shortcut 3 on shortcut bar 3

Edit 2: added how-to below

1. Open Macro window, it's under System or use shift-k
2. Click New Macro and give it a name and a shortcut key, mine is 4 on the numerical keyboard
3. Click Add Command and choose category Actions and action Target an entity.
3b. If you're not using Knowledge stanza write Raw Material Source, if you use Knowledge 1 write (for example )Fiber, and repeat the procedure until you listed all possible mats. This will target anybody's sources, not only your own so you will need to add your name after, like this: Fiber [Aragorn] to only dig your own sources.
4. When you listed all possible mats, you click Add Command and choose category Actions and action Select Shortcut Bar and write the number of the bar where you have your Extraction action.
5. Click Add Command and choose category Actions and action Run Shortcut and write the number of the slot where you placed your Extraction action.
6. Click Ok and go out there and dig you lazy homin.

and a handy one for careplanners........

target entity. (insert name here)
chat in around '/follow'
target targets current target
run shortcut X


this is such a lazy macro cos if they don't have anything selected you will go on follow if they decide to move.

*puts on dunces hat*

i've never used macro's for foraging, mostly becuase:

1) it doesnt seem any quicker than clicking a source and then a shoutcut key
2) you cant check the # of mats in the source

what am i missing?

yeah i'm going to have to agree with rushin.. the need of knowing what is in the source first is pretty important. nothing worse than digging a node with 9 mats in it when you normally dig twice that.

I have a german keyboard layout, and I normally have to use AltGr to reach [ and ]. That doesn't work in the game, but if i press AltGr and the right Ctrl key, it works for me.
