Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any aetherhunting scripts to help with being on a turret and aetherhunting? So far on aetherhunts all I've been able to do is siphon cause that's all I know how to do. Thanks!

There are all triggers. First box is what you match on. Second box is what to do. Some are regexp and some are substring. If it matches the exact output as seen ingame without odd signs, it's the latter. Aethertarget is used because you can also then use it in manual aliases, so in case stuff breaks, you're not looking like a helpless fool :D

Targetting off of calls

\\(Ship\\): (.*?) say(s?)\\, \\"Target (.*?)\\.\\"


send("turret target creature " .. matches)
aethertarget = matches


Targetting on your own


^Drawn by the flux of energy, a (\\w+) (\\w+) suddenly wanders into the nearby area\\.$


send("turret target creature " .. matches)
aethertarget = matches


Targetcalling


You tune the weapon module to target a



send("shipt Target " .. aethertarget)


Refire


A battle turret whirrs quietly, ready to be used once again.



send("turret fire")


Retarget


A battle turret is not targeting anything.



send("turret target creature " .. aethertarget)

You're awesome, just what I wanted, thanks!

I have a much more simple way and one that can't get you shrubbed.

Pattern: ^dragon$

send ("turret fire")
send ("turret target creature karibidean")
send ("turret target creature dragon")
send ("turret target creature scyllus")

Auto-targets, auto fires, just spam the alias when you're on balance. Plus with that you can never let your mind wander and be caught for AFK bashing.

afk aetherbashing is whenever you are -locked in a module- while it is killing things and you are not atk. hence you can still be punished for afk hunting.

(in other words you don't need to send unneeded commands to the server)

What I mean is the method before mine allowed him to just walk away and make some coffee and keep on hunting which becomes DAMN tempting as soon as you run out of whatever you're drinking :P

As mine is a single alias you DO have to be at the keyboard to keep it going.

I assume people know the rules when copy / pasting scripts like that. I just unlock from modules when I need a quick afk.
