Macro needed, please!

[Unitos]

Hi, thanks for clicking.

I'm interested in a macro that would work with Healbot/Vuhdo to cast Lightning Bolt at MY current target via my healing interface.

For example, I want to set up Healbot/Vuhdo to cast Lightning Bolt by clicking Shift+Button 5, but while targeting any random person in my group/raid. I know it sounds weird, and I don't think it's a hard macro, I just suuuuuck making them, and would love to get someone with a little more macro-intelligence to help out.

If it doesn't make much sense, I have a macro made for my Holy Pally that casts Light of Dawn by "healing" a person in my raid frames. The macro doesn't actually target that person and heal them with Light of Dawn, it just casts it infront of me, as if I pressed it on my keyboard or clicked it on my hot bar. I really think I could save some time by macro/clicking with mouse, rather than moving my hand over and spamming 444444444.


Thanks for reading, and any help, in advanced.

Additionally, I would love for it to cast Lightning Bolt at my Focus Target, by clicking Ctrl+Button 5 (rather than Shift+B5), if my focus target isn't my current target. BUT I think that /might/ just be something I set up with Healbot/Vuhdo, with a secondary macro??

#showtooltip
/cast [@focus,harm][harm][@targettarget,harm] Lightning Bolt

Works on the same keybinding with no need to switch modifiers. If you have an enemy focus it'll cast LB on your focus, if not it will cast LB on your target if it is an enemy, otherwise it will try cast it on your targets target.

If you would rather use ctrl and shift to decide whom to cast it on you can use this one instead:

#showtooltip
/cast [@focus,mod:ctrl,harm][mod:shift,harm] Lightning Bolt

This will attempt to cast at your focus if you're holding ctrl, or attempting to cast on target if holding shift.

Simple:

/cast Lightning Bolt

should work?

Thank you for the input guys! I'll let you know...

If your trying to use these marcos with vuhdo or healbot them the @ has to go to vuhdo for it to work
[@vuhdo,harm] etc, for them to work with vuhdo, healbot is the sameway, but ive never used healbot but i think i remember someone saying it wasnt @healbot but something close to it

Vuhdo and Healbot both have as part of their interface to add macros to certain key bindings, such as Shift+Button 5 or Ctrl+button 5, etc. Would I still have to use @Vuhdo or @healbot?

[lawomous]

It shouldn't be needed. The [@vuhdo] or [@hbtarget] is for casting directly onto the person your mouse is over like for heals.

[Lackluster]

I assume you just want to cast the lightning bolt at your current target, not whatever you're mouse-overing?
In that case you don't need a macro, just keybind lightning bolt to shift-button 5...

[Unitos]

Okay here is what I've done so far. I made two macros and configed Vuhdo and Healbot (I use both addons, one or the other depending on raid size) to cast one with shift+button 5 and one with ctrl+button 5. This is a great first step, but I would love for them both to do one more thing extra, if it's possible.

A) Configed to Shift + Button 5

/cast Lightning bolt

B) Configed to Ctrl + Button 5

/target Focus
/cast Lightning Bolt

Both nice and simple. But...


For "A" I would love for it to target whatever enemy the person I hover over is targeting with my healing UI, then cast Lightning Bolt at their target... if I don't have an enemy targeted myself.

And for "B," I would LOVE for it to target my focus, cast Lightning Bolt, then target the previous enemy. Essentially, I want it to cast Lightning Bolt at my Focus (most likely the boss who I would focus before we enter combat) without untargeting the enemy who is NOT my focus. I tried adding /targetlastenemy, but the issue is, if I spam it before the gCD or my current cast isn't up, it would actually never target my focus, because it would instantly target the first enemy before the cast was up. I never ended up casting it at my focus, just my current target.

I know people already posted great macro earlier, but I think they might have actually been over complicated, or they weren't /exactly/ what I needed. Thanks a ton, to those people though!

For A try this,

#showtooltip
/cast [harm][@mouseovertarget,harm,nodead][]Lightning Bolt

For B,

#showtooltip
/cast [@focus,harm,nodead][]Lightning Bolt
