Mining macros

Hello,

sorry if I missed posts, but I've been searching all morning and not found anything.

Are mining macros not allows to use relative targetsl?

Trying to make this macro:

Double Click (shovel (0F39))
Wait for Target
Target RelLoc (-1,0)



I keep getting a message saying you can't mine there, even if I can when targeting by hand.

Thanks!

relative targets work, that's what i use. Not sure what the issue is.

I had the same experience as Kintoo. Gave up in the end, and just mae a "last target" one instead.

Here are my macros. I bind all the 1 tile relative hotkeys to my directional keys on keyboard, with alt+ directional for the 2 tile relatives. Then I have a hotkey to use shovel by type, then a hotkey for looping shovel + last target.
So I walk around, use "mining target" macro to get the cursor, then just hit w/e directional key I want to mine, then I play the loop. Lastly, I have an ore dropper macro which, as expected, drops all ore on the ground.

thanks!

I'll give these macros a try, see what happens.


side note: Could it be the location? I am in the newbie zone under Occlo.

Seems I found the issue.

In the newbie cave under the mining master in Occlo , I could not mine with any macros. Going into the cave next door with the monsters, the macros all worked.

Thanks for your help, I'm going to stick with your macros!

Suggestion,

Two macros

1. Last target establishment
   1. Use item by type (shovel)
      1. Delete all but above line (wait for target)
2. Loop Mining
   1. For loop (however many times you want to mine same spot
      1. Use item by type (shovel)
      2. Change wait for target to appropriate pause for your connection
      3. Record using on a spot on ground
         1. Change absolute target to last target once finished recording
      4. Add appropriate pause for mining once per your connection
   2. End for loop

Hot key both to same key using modifier key for one to save space.
You could combine this into one macro with a well placed pause, if, and else statement.

G'luck

Reasons I like relative targets:
1. Accuracy. You will know exactly what 8x8 you are hitting.
2. Thoroughness. You will be able to easily reach 8x8's that are difficult, if not impossible, to target freehand. Such as mining the northern side of mountains where the height of the mountains actually blocks your LOS to those nearer tiles.

Well, well. You're right! Thanks, Kintoo
