What this Aion macro does is very simple yet very powerful. When you press the button to activate this macro, it will select your target's target. In other words, this macro will target the group leaders target for example, or the target of the person who's doing the targeting. I think you are beginning to understand why this simple, yet powerful Aion macro is very useful.
Imagine this. You and your group / alliance are preparing for a fight with a big group of Elyos / Asmodians. The good old way to kill your enemies as fast as possible would be to call targets 1 by 1 and go through the pack of enemies like that. Aion can help you out in two ways with this.
- The group / alliance leader has the ability to put numbers and icons above the target's head, making him stand out from the rest.
- You can use the Aion macro which lets you target someone else his target. Doing this will instantly pick the target which is called and you don't have to worry about targeting someone else or looking for the target
The first line of the code is the line which selects the person who's doing the targeting. And there are two ways to do this. You can either select a person in your group, or you can select someone's name (doesn't have to be in group). The second way of targeting is useful when you're in an alliance and the person doing the targeting isn't in your group.
To select a person in your group. Your line of code should look like this:
/Select [%Group1]What this does is select the person which is in position 1 in your group. It doesn't matter what is name is, it just picks the first person in the group. If you would change the number to 2, it would select the second person.
Alternatively, you would want to select someone that isn't in your group, but is doing the targeting. To solve this, just change the first line of code to this.
/Select NameIn this case you can just fill in the name of the person that is doing the targeting. He doesn't have to be in your group, alliance, guild or whatsoever. It could be any random guy.
The second line of the code in the macro is the part that selects your target's target. And there are two ways I know of which does the trick. Both will do the trick, so it's up to you whichever you use for your macro.
The first option for your second line of code would be this:
/Quickbar 1 0 1This would be the more "complicated" one of the two. And for it's explanation I'll quote what I wrote on the forums.
For this to work you have to have a specific hotbar setup.
On Hotbar (1) you got to have the Macro shortcut.
On Hotbar (0) you've got to place the "Assist target" icon on the first slot, which is slot (1), which you can pick from the Actions list when you press K.
The second way of doing this is much simpler. All you have to type in the second line of your macro is this:
/Skill Assist TargetAs you can see, this is a lot simpler. Instead of typing, you could even drag the "Skill Assist Target" from your "K" window in the macro editing window and it will fill in the second line of the code itself. This line of code will also result in you targeting the person you selected in the first line of your code.
And the final result of the code could look like this (this is how I have it):
/Select [%Group1] or /Select Name
/Skill Assist Target And those two lines of code will make up the best and most useful Aion macro you'll see. Do you disagree with me and do you think there are better ones? Leave a comment or share it on the forums here: Show off your macros! (and help others)
