Ask it! Macro Edition

I'd probably use

#showtooltip
/cast [harm][@targettarget,harm][]Smite

to get rid of the Red question mark icon when theres no target.

a bit better than mine, no doubt, because of the red ? icon when neither the target nor the target's target is unfriendly;
I however chose [nohelp] instead of [harm] in the first [] because there might just be situations (not that i could think of any from the spot) where you might want to smite a "yellow" target, which should work with [nohelp], but not with [harm].

Stuff like critters and target dummies are also harm.

Aye! Ok then, I thought yellow npcs (like target dummies or the occasional mob, e.g. Steamvault) didn't count as harm, but if that isn't the case yours is of course not only 99, but 100% better :P

Is there an addon that will let me have more macro spaces?

harm = you can cast harmful spells at the unit If the currently targeted unit is an enemy
noharm = you cannot cast harmful spells at the unit If the currently targeted unit is not an enemy
help = you can cast helpful spells at the unit If the currently targeted unit is a friend
nohelp = you cannot cast helpful spells at the unit If the currently targeted unit is not a friend

Yellow/red/orange/green units etc have nothing to do with it, that indicates their reaction, harm/help are what you can do.

~Ehh not quite.... Before too much misinformation gets spread.

I want a macro that will have me shout a message when I cast Time Warp. But, I have a tendency to spam my buttons and I don't want to accidentally shout the message multiple times. How can I make a macro that will only make me shout if it's successfully casted?

anyone got a macro that has you /say "xyzability" used on [target's name] macro? where the target's name changes depending on well the target's name?

You could do that by a /run macro I suppose, but purposes like that are best served by addons such as RSA.

/run if GetSpellCooldown("Redemption") == 0 then SendChatMessage("Ressing "..UnitName("mouseover"), "YELL") end
/cast [@mouseover,exists,help]Redemption;Redemption

Works good for me.
It will check cooldown as well so it wont spam /yell if the CD isnt up yet.

I'm looking for an all-in-one macro that would:
-show/hide cloak and/or headpiece
-change gear set
-change spec
-possibly turn on given presence/stance if I'm on DK or Warrior

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, i m looking for a macro for my hunter.
I use wasp for PvP, and Sting is the pet skill that i want to trigger.
Now here is the problem, when i click the keybinding to use Sting, i have to click it several times in order to work cause it shares a Pet Skill's Global cd
with its basic attack, which it autocasts, and i have to be quick and lucky enough to click the Sting's keybinding in the middle of this process. Now even
if i use something like "stopautocasting" it wont work, cause the gcd of the last one will be still on until it ends, and not using autocasting basic attack is
a not so good option.
Is there a way to make this work precisely the moment i need it?
thank you.

Not that I could think of any - In the moment you press it, a macro can't alter the past and not let your pet activate the GCD

/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][@targettarget,help] Intervene

No experience with elvUI, no idea why @mouseover shouldn' work on those unitframes.

Keep in mind the macros in this are stored locally, not server-side, so they won't magically appear on other computers unless you sync the addon folder across PCs.

Can you make a macro with a percentage chance to do something? like cast a fireball and say a quote 40 percent of the time?

Technically you could use Lua's math.random functions to generate a number between X - Y and if $number matches a certain criteria... but that's like shooting a mosquito with a cannon.

edit: try this, but I haven't tried it in game:

/cast Fireball
/run x = math.random(1,10); if x < 5 SendChatMessage("OMGWTFBBQ!", "YELL") end

(...)
Except for show/hide cloak/head:

/run ShowHelm(not ShowingHelm())
/run ShowCloak(not ShowingCloak())

(...)

I've seen this one alredy, but I need a slightly different one - this one will swap them one and off, and I'd like to have one that only puts them on or only puts them off.

/run x = math.random(1,10); if x < 5 SendChatMessage("OMGWTFBBQ!", "YELL") end

Ouch.

#showtooltip
/cast Fireball
/run if math.random(1,10)<=4 then SendChatMessage("OMGWTFBBQ!","YELL") end

/run ShowHelm(1) and /run Showhelm(nil) to switch helm on or off, same with ShowCloak.

Sorry if this has been asked before but I really don't want to read through all the 101 pages. This thread came up when I was searching for something.

I'm trying to get a macro on my warrior to use berserking rage and then death wish. With the amount of mastery i have berserker rage gives me 13 rage and death wish only requires 10 to use. But the macro I have made,

/cast berserker rage
/cast death wish

when I hit it, it tells me I don't have enough rage to use death wish. Even though I do have 3 more rage than what is required. I'm thinking that maybe the server isn't registering me having more than 10 rage when the macro gets to the death wish part. I've tryed putting in a delay in between, but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Trying to find a mod which will allow me to change all of the system font's sizes.
I'm currently using a 32" TV as my monitor, and can barely read any of the font.
