Need help with my mining macro

Post by Lazarus »

I tried to make a semi auto mining macro for my guy similar to the lumberjacking macro someone put it. Basically it goes but once he can't find ore and the macro ask for a new last target it wont accept. The hand with the target comes up but it won't select a new spot on the mountain. I've even tested to ensure its a spot that has ore. The macro looks like this:

Double click (axe)
Wait for target
Exec: Last target
Pause 1.00 sec
If sysmessage: you dig...
Double click
Wait for target
Exec: Last target
Pause 1.00 sec
Else
If sysmessage "there is no"
Set Last Target
End if

its the same macro I use for lumberjacking, I just changed the sysmessages.

Thats because you haven't told it where to set that new last target. You need to include a location with that, such as a relative location.

Just keep razor up or have a hotkey on your miner profile to stop current macro to end the macro. Either way you have to be present to be doing this.

Use pickaxe
pause one sec
last target
loop it
poof done...just need to click where you want to mine each new spot. 1 second is enough to target. Mountainsides are a bit iffy with relative targets because they can be anywhere in relative position to you.

pause I believe need only be 0.6 seconds if you want to speed up the mining a little

Mine is:

Dclick shovel 1
Wait for target
Target Relative Location (I selected the tile west of my miner)
Pause .6
Dclick shovel 2
Wait for target
Target Relative Location
Pause .6
Dclick shovel 3
Wait for target
Target Relative Location
Pause .6
Dclick shovel 4
Wait for target
Target Relative Location
Pause .6
Dclick shovel 5
Wait for target
Target Relative Location
Pause .6
Loop

I just walk along the mountainside, soon as I see that slut digging I pause. Takes maybe 4 secs to clean out the vein, then I continue walking.

To set relative location, first make sure you are on flat land, then record your mining macro clicking the tile next to you in whichever direction you want. Then in Razor, right click the location in the macro and change to relative location. You'll never have to settarget again, hands free mining ftw.
