[Solved] An Elaborate Mouseover Macro Request

[Selxxa]

I've just started using mouseover macros for healing and I can tell that it's a great upgrade from manually clicking then hitting my keybinds.

However, I find my current macro a bit limiting.

/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][@player] spellname

That's what I'm using at the moment. But this is what I want.

- When I mouseover a target, it will cast the heal on them.
- When I mouseover a target and hit ALT, it will cast the heal on myself.
- When I do not mouseover a target but have them manually targeted, it will heal them.
- When I do not mouseover a target but have them manually targeted and hit ALT, it will heal myself.

Is this possible in a single macro?

Not possible in a single macro.

Here is how you do the first two

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover][mod:alt][@player] Heal

Grid+Click=no need for macros.

Grid+Click=no need for macros.

You actually gain a small amount of time that accumulates by not clicking on grid. Mouseover macros do exactly the same thing as clicking, but in slightly less time without the need to click.

This, pretty much. You'd have to create a second macro for the last two requests.

/cast [mod:alt,@player] [@mouseover,help,nodead] [help,nodead] spellname;

I've always had trouble getting mod: to behave how I want, you have to unbind whatever the alt-key is and I'm not sure how this interacts with Interface/Combat/Self Cast Key options.

This is actually the macro you're looking for:

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt,@player][@mouseover,help,nodead][]Spellname

Ok, I apparently can't link to anything, so replace AT with the at symbol. These forums apparently read them as a link.

Part a - When I mouseover a target, it will cast the heal on them.

/cast [ATmouseover] Heal

Part b - When I mouseover a target and hit ALT, it will cast the heal on myself.

/cast [ATplayer,mod:alt][ATmouseover] Heal

Part c - When I do not mouseover a target but have them manually targeted, it will heal them.

/cast [] Heal

Part d - When I do not mouseover a target but have them manually targeted and hit ALT, it will heal myself.

/cast [ATplayer,mod:alt] Heal

A few are a bit redundant, but oh well.

First check if you're pressing alt to cast on yourself, then if you have a mouseover target and finally to just cast the heal on your target otherwise

/cast [mod:alt,ATplayer][ATmouseover,help,exists,nodead][] Heal

This should work... I'm not on a computer with WoW to check.

Edit: Iawomous beat me to it while I was trying to figure out why I couldn't post. Really should fix that whole AT thing being considered as links =/ is frustrating

So far this seems to be working exactly as I wanted, thank you very much!

Note: There was a small error with yours actually, there should be a space before "Spellname". The guy below you did it 100% correctly, so I guess my kudos should actually go to him!

Did the "missing" space actually prevent the macro from working? It shouldn't be needed.

You don't need a space before the spell name but glad it's working for you.
