Ok, I used the macro and it works great! Big thanks to AionBunny for making it so easy that even coding n00bs like me can understand it ^_^

However, I'd like to add a line to the macro to rest after falling - how would I go about doing that? Currently, I added the lines

/Delay 10
/Quickbar 2 1 4,

which according to the guides I've read should use the 4th slot in the second Quickbar (the ALT one) to rest after I fall down out of the sky.

However, so far it's not working as intended. :( My macro keeps stopping halfway, or I'm not resting. Anyone know what could be the problem?

Well I'm going to join the noobness as I'm still learning how to create macros in Aion. A bit different then the ones created in FFXI.

But to try and help Cyath out I was wondering, in Xi your delay would come AFTER the requested action. So from what I understand is that your requesting the action of rest and wish to rest or "delay" for 10 seconds correct? If so then wouldn't the macro read

/quickbar 2 1 4
/delay 10 ? Just wondering if that would be correct or if I would get LOL'd out of this particular post? :D :study:<--me macros lol

The way I read it was the 20 sec delay was to make sure that the flight timer had run out (crashing the char into the ground), then the rest command was issued to sit down and regain the HP lost in the fall (and then since the macro ends, the char would remain sitting until the player came back to stand up).

Assuming this is correct and you generally have up to 20 seconds left after draining an aether node (or maybe up to 16 if it takes 4 seconds for the actual harvest), you might try toggling your wings off (which will drop you part way to the ground), then pop them back open again after a couple of seconds (stopping your fall without damage) then closing them again to drop you the remaining distance to the ground. I haven't tested this yet (since I just saw this thread and don't have the game on my work computer... [I wish!]), but if it works it would allow you to macro-harvest nodes that are higher in the sky after a bit of testing to get the timing on the drop right.

You could even use another variable to hold the "falling interval" delay amount so you could change it if you wanted to work on nodes closer to or farther from the ground.

I created a loop macro where at the end of the macro it delays it for 500 seconds then tells it to start the next macro (via quickbar command) that macro does the same thing telling the previous macro to begin, you now have a loop.

One problem though, I don't know how long you can delay a macro before it stops working, so the delay has to be longer than the respawn time but not too long so it times out.

There is only 1 reason why this macro cannot loop and that is because you can't have a macro use another macro.

-------------------------

Actually another way of looping would be to delay and reset the marco by using a stop start command o.o but that would be quite silly if they put that in.

It is not possible to begin a new macro while another one is still running. Aion is intentionally written to prevent it.

Is it possible cancel casting via macro?

[Dragonminer]

I use this all the time now - Awesome guide and macro.

[proaim]

thank you!!!!!!!!!!

[gocleaver]

Yes, thankyou very much

[Outlaw Effectz]

You can actually make this macro loop but I'm not saying how.

[Aion Bunny]

Automating is bad, Mr. Banned from Aion :)

[Outlaw Effectz]

Well I'm not saying I used an auto-gather macro before.
Plus if I get banned for something I did 1 month ago that would be gay.(Refer to steam's ban 2 weeks after hacking)(I never hacked in any FPS)

[Zenithal]

Aswome help.

saves me some sore mouse fingers

thanks a lot

Any update on this macro after 1.9?

[Xathiann]

remove the % from %Variable and it works fine

[Aion Bunny]

Yeah sorry, I have updated the original post to remove the % signs from the code (which are no longer required after 1.9)

hello all^^

here's a simple gather macro that i use alot

/Select Iron
/Skill Essencetapping

but if u want u can do it like this

/Select Iron
/Skill Essencetapping
/Delay 5
/Select Iron
/Skill Essencetapping
/Delay 5
/Select Iron
/Skill Essencetapping
/Delay 5

and you can use it in Aethertapping too:

/Select Aether
/Skill Aethertapping
/Delay 5
/Select Aether
/Skill Aethertapping
/Delay 5
/Select Aether
/Skill Aethertapping
/Delay 5

PS: this is just an example

hi i have this macro set up with variables and such but my toon will only gather twice on a node and i have to manually gather the third item. i tried increasing delay time from 4-6 secs, didnt change anything is there soething im doing wrong or has it been changed in pathes any help would be great thx.

Hi there,

first of all, thanx for the great info m8

second, is there a possible way to make the macro repeat itself?

lets say am gathering Subella... respawn time is 3 min = 180 sec.

this is the macro am using:

/Select [Variable9] = Subella
/Attack
/Delay [Variable8] = 5 Sec
/Select [Variable9]
/Attack
/Delay [Variable8]
/Select [Variable9]
/Attack
/Delay [Variable8]
/Select [Variable9]
/Attack
/Delay [Variable8]

what can i add to this macro to continue gathering when the subella respawn again?

As I've said before, with any Aion macro, you need to be the person clicking on the macro to use it (i.e. not an automated program or piece of hardware). If you attempt to fully automate an Aion Macro or loop it with a third-party program (or keyboard) then this would be considered a breach of the EULA, for which you could/will be banned.

There is no way to loop the macro from within Aion itself. I hope that answers your question. Sorry if it's not the answer you were hoping for

[Qahlel]

guys you are all over-thinking this. best macro is the simplest:

/Select Resource-Name-Here
/Attack

put it in your quickbar and click each time you gather.
this also works with aether. you just need to write the name of the vortex (i.e. small vortex, burning vortex, etc.)

the problem with auto-gathering 3 items on a row is the delay.
sometimes, you gather in 3 secs and sometimes in 7 seconds.
