Dispel macro?

[Vereesa]

Quick question:

Why does the following not work?:

#showtooltip Dispel Magic
/cast [nomod] Dispel Magic
/cast [mod:alt,@player] Dispel Magic
/cast [mod:shift,@party1] Dispel Magic

This is bound to R, but pressing shift-R doesn't do anything. Is there any other way around this except just binding the last line to a separate button? (Shift-R isn't bound to anything, by the way)

You need to unbind shift+R from somewhere, and then it should work

Forgot to mention that. Fixed the OP.

It must be, just tried it out on my priest, and worked. Go into keybindings and bind something to shift+R and then unbind it so you're 100% sure

I did just that, but it still failed to work.

Dunno what to say then, the macro works for me.

Try using this and seeing if you get better luck:

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift,@party1][mod:alt,@player][]Dispel Magic

Is Party1 yourself or the second player? Am guessing second player else someone better at PvP macros than me would have caught it! :P

[lawomous]

It's the second player. Yourself is the @player part.

Nope, still doesn't do anything with shift pressed down. :/


Edit: Tried switching the shift-modifier to ctrl and it worked. Why not with shift?

[lawomous]

You clearly have it bound to something else. Try binding Shift+R to like Walk Forward, then rebind it back to W so Shift+R is completely cleared.

Still nothing. I guess I'll just have to do with 2 separate macros then...

So why not just use Ctrl? Btw, Shift+R is used for replying a tell to the first person or something. You may not have had a whisper with anyone and hence thinking its not working

I was planning on using the ctrl-modifier for party2 (which I did), and shift for party1. Also, I unbound shift-R literally about 15 times and tried the macro. (but to no avail obviously)

Make sure none of your addons are overriding the bind:

/dump GetBindingByKey("SHIFT-R")

There's nothing wrong with shift-R as a bind.

#showtooltip
/cast [target=party1] Dispel Magic

I bound the above to shift-R and it worked perfectly. It's just that pressing shift-R (when shift-R is unbound of course) does nothing when my actual macro is bound to R.

GetBindingByKey will also tell you if the client properly recognizes SHIFT-R as a modified bind of R.

[16:24:12] Dump: value=GetBindingByKey("SHIFT-R")
[16:24:12] [1]="CLICK SnowfallKeyPress_Button_SHIFT-R:LeftButton"

So how exactly am I supposed interpret this?

[Deleted]

SnowfallKeyPress, hm? Have you tried disabling it? BT4 has its own "trigger action in key down" toggle now, if I remember correctly. I suppose it might conflict.
