Handy macro for foragers

[martl]

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.

just AltGr doesnt work in Ryzom, Alt + Ctrl works

"Woohoo!" <- Cute.

Hehe, yeah. Made that screenshot a keeper.

Macroes have a lot of good uses, would be really nice if Nevrax added regex ability to it. Then you only needed one macro for sources.

P.S. Ulani add a quick howto and you have a sticky topic.

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.

the only thing i do differently here, is instead of target entity... i use target teammate #1, means it requires less frequent editting

( i do have another that targets by name, but use it for out of team stuff instead )

Added a How-to to my first post

*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?

The aforementioned big-butted bodocs and armas squatting on the source you want. Tried for hours to select sources that way with the mouse, all I ever got were bodocs and armas. Resources disappeared before I could find a way to select one of them.

single keyclick (I bound my macro to 'Q') is definitely faster than mouse-click and key-click

two or more sources literally on top of each other. Trying to select the one I want with the mouse is frustrating. The macro gives you a "priority" order, so the more important (to you) resource gets selected for harvesting.

Great guide and screenie, Ulani.

I've pasted a link on our website to this. Would you mind if I copied and pasted it all in? (Giving you credit, OF Course.)

I don't mind at all

Thanks.. This goes really great with the newbie guide I've written up.

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.

Piece of cake.

I have JUST the targetting commands in a macro. Hit that, you have the resource targetted. Then amble over to it, and scope the mat count. If you like it, THEN you hit your dig action.
