Quick Fix for Harvester's Selection Issues :)
Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2005 5:11 pm
Allo Everyone!
For those of you that know me, I do nothing but dig.
I recently had my "Front Enemy Selection" set up for tab - some of you may have used a different hotkey, but this is mine, so replace "Tab" with whatever you used.
This is a quick way to fix the selection issue:
Make a macro for the selection.
To access the macros, press Shift + K on your keyboard.
Click on "New Macro" on the Macro bar.
You can click on the Icon button to change the color and name.
Back on the New Macro screen you can enter a name for the Maco - I put in "Select Mats" as an example.
Click on the "Add Command" button toward the lower right of the New Macro window.
From the "Category" section, click on the drop-down menu and select "Actions".
From the "Action" drop down menu, select "Target an entity" (you may have to scroll up on the menu to see this option).
**Now, you may either make this macro for all your sources, or you make make it for every single mat type.
I strongly suggest making one macro for *all* of your mats, so you only have to worry about one hotkey.
In order to do so, you'll need to remove your "Prospect with Knowledge" from your prospecting skill. (Thank you to Basic for this info).
Now, when you've done this, you need to make the macro for all sources.
You'll put in the target name in the field on the "New Command" window where it says "Entity's name to Target".
For example, I have: "Raw Material Source [Enfinity]"
This will ensure that all of my sources are selected with this macro, and *only* mine are selected, since I added my name.
Once you've done this, click OK.
Now, you can either click Ok again on the "New Macro" window, or you may assign this to a key.
I prefer the key.
Under the section that says "Key" on the "New Macro" window, click on the area that says "Not Assigned".
Here you may assign any key you like to execute this macro.
For example, I have mine set up for "Tab".
Once you've done so, click on OK.
You're all set
When you hit "Tab" or your assigned key now, it will select your raw material sources.
If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a /tell in game.
I'm more than willing to help in any way that I possibly can!
