Ask it! Macro Edition

This doesn't seem to announce anything.

/use Soulstone
#showtooltip Soulstone
/cast [mod:shift]Soulstone;[@mouseover,exists,help]Soulstone;[nomod,@player]Soulstone
/optsay [target=dead] Resurrecting %t
/optsay [target= nodead] Casting Soulstone on %t

I'm assuming you're using MacroTalk?

Haystone gave you the correct conditionals. The problem was changing /optsay to /s. If /optsay accepts conditionals use the ones he gave you.

([target=dead] attempts to direct it at a unit named "dead")

Can someone make a holy priest macro so I can have all 3 chakra abilities on one button and it cast the appropriate chakra stance with it. Say if I press whatever button I assign it with no modifier it casts chakra:serenity if I'm not on it and holy word: serenity and if I press it with shift it puts me in chakra:sanctuary and casts holy word:sanctuary and lastly if I press it with control it puts me in chakra:chastise and casts holy word chastice. I wanted all this in the same button to save space on my bars. Thanks for the help brahs.

[Rarch]

If they are indeed stances, then yes, you can accomplish this. It would look like:

/use [mod:shift, stance:1/3]Chakra: Sanctuary
/use [mod:shift, stance:2]Holy Word: Sanctuary
/use [mod:ctrl, stance:1/2]Chakra: Chastise
/use [mod:ctrl, stance:3]Holy Word: Chastise
/use [stance:2/3]Chakra: Serenity
/use [stance:1]Holy Word: Serenity

You'll have to confirm the stance numbers by playing around with it. I don't know which stance is which number. EDIT: I just noticed the one I posted doesn't fit in the 255 chars, even if you remove the #showtooltip, it's still 261. Not sure if it's possible to shorten it, maybe someone else has an idea to make it short enough to fit. EDIT 2: Got it to 255, but no #showtooltip, so you'll have to use a generic static tooltip for it.

If they're not technically considered stances by the game, then I don't believe it's possible with a macro. You can't make a macro check for an aura, as far as I know.

/cast chakra: serenity works so I don't think they're considered stance by the game.

This should work with the same functionality if they are considered stances, 234 characters.

I need a macro that looks at a item in my Bag, counts how many, and then buys the same amount of items from the Vendor.

Relevant APIs

count = GetItemCount(itemID)
BuyMerchantItem(slot,quantity);

Basically i want to count how much cloth i have (84221) and then buy Items from Vendor BuyMerchantItem(4) and BuyMerchantItem(7), obviously while i have the vendor frame open :P

[Yuyuli]

/script n = GetItemCount("bag item"); for i=1,GetMerchantNumItems() do x = GetMerchantItemInfo(i); if x == "vendor item" then BuyMerchantItem(i, n) end end

Just need to change the strings, example:

/script n = GetItemCount("Imperial Amethyst"); for i=1,GetMerchantNumItems() do x = GetMerchantItemInfo(i); if x == "Tome of the Clear Mind" then BuyMerchantItem(i, n) end end

will buy n Tome of the Clear Mind where n is the amount of Imperial Amethyst in my bag.

Thanks but sadly this won't work the way i need it.

What i need is a "for each count do buy item once" BuyMerchantItem(i), as you can not buy a stack of 40 of something that only stacks 20 or even just 10, it throws a error so i need to buy 40x1 instead of trying to buy 1x40. It's a bit spammy like this but it will at least work, or i dunno put some math stuff in there so i can set how high it stacks but that's just overcomplicating i really don't care if it spams BuyMerchantItem 40-100 times

Edit: this seems to work, though it's not as pretty, maybe you can clean it up so it still has that "if" thingy so i don't accidently buy the wrong stuff and maybe even have another check so i don't buy more than required?

/script n = GetItemCount(4339); for i=1,n,1 do BuyMerchantItem(4) end

Hey, I've been having a hard time making a macro for this. I'm kind of new to this so I figured I would come across problems. Well this is what I wanted:
Mouseover Cyclone
However, if shift is used then it becomes an Instant Cyclone (accomplished to through nature's swiftness so:
If shift modifier then
Nature's Swiftness + mouseOver Cyclone
I'd greatly appreciate if I could get this. Thanks in advance! ^^

[Rarch]

#showtooltip Cyclone
/cast [mod:shift]Nature's Swiftness
/cast [mod:shift,@mouseover][]Cyclone

That should work. If you want to also make it cast Cyclone at your target if you don't have a mouseover, just add [] after [@mouseover].

[shanthi]

#showtooltip Cyclone
/cast [mod:shift]Nature's Swiftness
/cast [@mouseover][]Cyclone

There shouldn't be a "mod:shift" for the Cyclone, because it sounds like they want Cyclone to cast whenever the button is pressed.

[Alotuz]

First of all, thanks for the early replys. Much appreciated but....

I've tried both of them and although they both did cast cyclone mouseover (in the noMod case), when pressing shift used neither used Nature's Swiftness. In fact, my druid doesn't begin to cast with the modifier if I hold shift it just skips it as if it wasn't pressed.

So here's a little bit of exposition.
I'm trying to use this macro on my Num0 button (I have a mouseButton there), so shift+Num0 = insert.
I cleared my keybinding for insert, so I assumed the macro would be able to use it but no dice.
I'm also using Bartender as to assign these the macro to num0.

Once again, ideally it's just a regular Cyclone mouseOver, unless I press shift. Then it becomes an instant Cyclone mouseOver.

That's because those mouse buttons don't work with shift modifiers, as it's a different button (insert) you will have to bind Insert to a button, and make a seperate macro for NS mouseover clone. You can use buttonforge, which will allow you to hide that button afterwards.

macro1: (nomod button)

/use [@mouseover] Cyclone

macro2: (insert button)

/use Nature's Swiftness
/use [@mouseover] Cyclone

edit: on my bartender setup I have a complete 12 bar with all the shift-mouse buttons, like end, insert, etc. which makes it easier to bind!

/script n = GetItemCount(4339); for i=1,n,1 do BuyMerchantItem(4) end

this will buy the correct quantity with the minimum operations needed (always buys max stack + leftovers stack at the end)

/run local function buy (n,q) for i=1,100 do if n==GetMerchantItemInfo(i) then m=GetMerchantItemMaxStack(i) p=math.floor(q/m) for s=1,p do BuyMerchantItem(i,m) end BuyMerchantItem(i,(q-p*m)) end end end buy("item_name",1337);

"item_name": name of the item you want to buy, leave quotes
1337: quantity you want to buy

Hello, I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on this. Tried looking through the first few pages of this thread but it's so long, so if it's come up I'm sorry.

Anyway I'm looking to change this macro:
/run if GetSpellCooldown("SPELLNAME") == 0 then SendChatMessage("CHAT MESSAGE ","CHAT") end
/cast SPELLNAME

Into one that will work with an item instead of a spell. Such as Ra'sha's Sacrificial Dagger.

change "spell" to "item" wherever it occurs in that macro

[S7orm]

use GetItemCooldown(itemID) instead of GetSpellCooldown

edit: pnutbutter beat me :P

[Khrystar]

use GetItemCooldown(itemID) instead of GetSpellCooldown

edit: pnutbutter beat me :P

Thanks! FYI tho your reply was far more helpful. I had actually tried changing "spell" to "item" and that didn't work. I hadn't thought of using the "item" ID. So my new macro looks like this, and works perfectly fine.

#showtooltip Ra'sha's Sacrificial Dagger
/run if GetItemCooldown("95566") == 0 then SendChatMessage("Goodbye cruel world!","SAY") end
/use Ra'sha's Sacrificial Dagger

Edit: I typed spell ID instead of item ID. lul

Fixed the problem

[Jappse]

I need help with a Growl macro. Everything else works fine. But instead of switching out Kill Shot every time I'm not in PVP (Because of Growl) I want it to only cast Growl when I wear a certain kind of gear-set. I have one DPS set and one PVP set in the Equipment Manager.

Is there a way to change the macro so that Growl only is cast when I'm equipped with the PVP gear?

Thanks

/stopcasting
/cast Kill Shot
/cancelaura Deterrence
/cancelaura Hand of Protection
/cast Growl(Basic Ability)
/petattack

Do you have seperate PvE and PvP specs? If so I think you can use the [spec:1]/[spec:2] modifier.

Another bit more clunky solution would be to use the [equipped] conditional if you use a different weapon type for your PvE set and PvP set. For example, if you use a Crossbow in PvE and a Gun in PvP you could add a [equipped:Crossbow] to abilities you only want to cast when you have your PvE gear on, and a [equipped:Gun] conditional to abilities you only want to cast with your PvP gear on.
