Stopwatch+Bop duration macro help

[mirodin]

I'm trying to make a macro that will do the following:

/sw 10
/script Stopwatch_Play();
/in 5 /w [player that has BoP] 5 sec left on Bop

I don't know how to write in the bold part. I know DBM uses some scripting to whisper players when they have a debuff on them
i wonder if u can do this with macros too.

Thx for reading this, and i'm hoping for some nice feedback.

First off, I'm assuming it should have a /cast hop at the start aswell.

Okay so, I must admit, I'm no super editing hero or anything, but to me, it seems that the whole 'in 5' is forcing the macro to take some turns.
But fear not, I have some ideas.
The whole in 5 part works fine, but there's no real commands for the game to remember the target of which you hop'ed, therefore if you switch targets during the first five seconds, the whisper will go to your new target, instead of the actual hop'ed person.

Options:

1. Have the /in 5 part removed, and just give a whisper directly, and go 'hop gone in 10'.

2. Force the game onto focusing the hop'ed person, personally, I could see some flauds with this, but it's up to you're planning on doing with the macro, really.

3. Have someone with some actual editing knowledge make you an addon. I'm assuming since dbm tracks spell id's for whispers, and alerts in general, it could be so, that the addon scans for hop, and gives a whisper there.
- This can't be done with macros alone tho, because of the insane amounts of scripting it would take.

Anyways, there's the macro.

/cast Hand of Protection
/sw 10
/script Stopwatch_Play();
/in 5 /script SendChatMessage("HOP over in 5", "WHISPER", nil, UnitName("target"));

How to tweek this yourself.
Explaining by solution numbers.

1. Remove the "/in 5" part, edit the 5 to a 10.
2. Add "/focus" before the Hand Of protection, change the ""Target" -->"Focus"
3. Bump this ALOT. or find a chinese.

Hope it atleast helped a bit.

Here's a script if you prefer not to poke around with stopwatches and Ace3 timed macros...

/cast [target=mouseover] Hand of Protection
/script m=UnitName("mouseover");s="Hand of Protection on "..m..".";
SendChatMessage("Hand of Protection on you.","WHISPER",nil,m);

mouseover hop is bad.

24 dead raiders and a tank alive taught me this on eredar twins.

Thank you for the replies. I'll try both out. I also tried to make it work if the target is your focus target, rain in a bit of problems with this also :P.

EDIT: I'm gonna use this macro :

/cast [target=focus,exists,nodead] Hand of Protection
/sw 10
/script Stopwatch_Play();
/in 5 /script SendChatMessage("HOP over in 5", "WHISPER", nil, UnitName("focus"));

Thou now i have problem with focusing the target. Since i'm using pitbull 4.0 the only way that you can focus someone is to type in /focus.
I want to do this by right clicking the person on grid making a focus on him and then casting bop (Kinda like Gladius does when u are in arena) . Anyway to do this WITHOUT instaling Clique?

@Mirodin

A perfect macro for what you want has been posted already, by lawomous, for mouseover HoP.

/cast [target=mouseover] Hand of Protection
/script m=UnitName("mouseover");s="Hand of Protection on "..m..".";SendChatMessage("Hand of Protection on you.","WHISPER",nil,m);
