Macro tooltip problem

[taoprs]

Below is a macro which works perfectly except that it shows tooltip of ONLY the first string spell (namely "disarm"). When i summon observer or shivarra i cannot see the relevant spell tooltips but an inactive "disarm" tooltip.


#showtooltip
/cast [pet:voidlord,mod:shift,@focus]disarm;disarm
/cast [pet:observer,mod:shift,@focus]optical blast;optical blast
/cast [pet:shivarra,mod:shift,@focus]mesmerize;mesmerize


Is there a way to be able to see tooltips of the other string spells as i switch pets? Is this a macro tooltip bug?

If you don't specify a tooltip (leaving it as "#showtooltip") it will just pick the first spell.

So what do you suggest to see and track tooltips? I keep using those multi-functional macros since i have almost no free macro slot.

#showtooltip [pet:voidlord] Disarm; [pet:observer] Optical Blast; [pet:shivarra] Mesmerize
/cast [pet:voidlord,mod,@focus] [pet:voidlord] Disarm; [pet:observer,mod,@focus] [pet:observer] Optical Blast; [pet:shivarra,mod,@focus] [pet:shivarra] Mesmerize

If these don't activate the GCD and you don't mind error text, you can also do this:

#showtooltip [pet:voidlord] Disarm; [pet:observer] Optical Blast; [pet:shivarra] Mesmerize
/cast [mod,@focus] [] Disarm
/cast [mod,@focus] [] Optical Blast
/cast [mod,@focus] [] Mesmerize

Let me know if something doesn't work as expected.

I've just tried both codes and done, even did not mention any errors. Thank you very much )

Now may i ask a few questions?

1. What does the empty "[]" stands for?

2. Is there a site that explains the new macro syntax? Bec. I am unfamiliar with the new modifiers commands, brackets, etc. I have searched for this macro in many famous macro sites and forums but did not get an answer.

By the way i realized that i can shorten the pet and spell names in the macro. For ex. instead of Voidwalker- Voidlord we can use "void", instead of "observer" we can use "obser" etc.

1. Empty brackets is just an empty conditional. These are the same:

/cast [mod,@focus] Disarm; Disarm

To put it into English: IF mod AND at focus, cast Disarm; else cast Disarm.

/cast [mod,@focus] [] Disarm

English: IF mod AND at focus, cast Disarm OR cast Disarm.

EDIT: or, more simply, these are the same:

/cast Disarm

/cast [] Disarm

2. There might be one out there. I've just learned by looking at what others are doing. I also have a coding background so macros are pretty easy mode. In fact, I didn't know about the pet conditional until I saw the macro you posted. I just applied that new information to produce a macro that accomplishes what you need.

Thanks for the replies. Code explanations are great.
