How to setup macro to mine all surrounding tiles?

Hey all!

I've been trying to setup a macro that will mine all closest 9 tiles around me. One in each direction and the one I'm standing on. It wont work though, it'll not run through all my hotkeys that I made (for each direction)

For example:

Hotkey for North direction:
1. D-click pickaxe
2. Wait for target
3. Relative location

First I put in all direction hotkeys like this:

N
NE
E
SE
S
SW
W
NW
0 (tile I'm standing on)

Then I added an If-conditional after each one (If "no metal") so it would switch to mining in a new direction.

Basically, I wish to make it so that if one tile is dry of ore, I want to mine the next tile in the queue. It seems only to do the first two or so and then restart. Is it even possible to make a macro like this (cause I've not seen any such macro when searching the forums)?

Im at work so i am just giving you an idea. Try creating multiple macros for "move w mine, move nw mine" then in your main macro do something like "call macro a; if nothing; call macro b; if nothing; call macro c"

Pro Tip: Target Relative Location is your friend.

I'll be on IRC tonight if you still need help setting it up.

:wink:

Yes, Target Relative combined with multiple macros could do this.
