[Macro] Simple mouseover Cleanse macro not working.

[Thundertom]

Hey guys,

I have some macro knowledge, but I cannot wrap my head around as to my this macro won't work.

#showtooltip Cleanse
/cast [@mouseover,exists,help] Cleanse; Cleanse

What I want it to do; Use Cleanse on friendly targets I mouseover; be it in a raid frame, a portrait or the world.
What it does now: It only cleanses targets I mouseover in the world, but not raidframes or portraits.

The weird thing is that my other mouseover macro's work just fine, it's just this Cleanse one which doesn't work.
I use Blizzards raidframes, and no Clique or healbot or anything.

Also, I have the button bound to Mouse Button 4, could that be an issue?

FYI I am a Holy Paladin.

Help me out please!

~Tom

Just read on the forum that WoW doesn't work with any mouse button >3. Odd.

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, exists, help] [] Cleanse

Should work on any mouse button I know... got G700 and it works everytime.

If by Mouse 4 you mean middle mouse. That is literally the only mouse bind that doesn't work on raid frames.

[Notes]

try this one

#showtooltip Cleanse
/cast [target=mouseover,exists,help,nodead] Cleanse;

I had the same. I gave up on finding out how to fix it and got the addon Clique to handle those cases.

Yeah, I don't like being too dependant on addons, because you never know if the author decides to call quits on them. However I have found this thread, which basicly says WoW only works with 3 mouse buttons, and any extra buttons you have to use software to simulate a keypress.

Luckily I have a Logitech MMO mouse, which has a million buttons and a million ways to config and set up. I have simply rebound buttons 4 and 5 to a key I never use, and now it works!
