Mouseover Lay On Hands NOT working

[Vyse]

Hey guys,

recently I upgraded some of my spells to mouseover spells, and all of them are working fine, except Lay on Hands.


#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover,help][help][target=player] Lay on Hands(Rank 5)

This is the macro I am using for all of my mouseovers.

Any help?

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,help][help][@player]Lay on Hands

Should work.

It will try and cast on friendly mouseovers, then friendly target, then you.

Thats the same macro I am using, and it doesnt work.

It works with spell like Cleanse or Hand of Freedom, but not with Lay on Hands.

Try this, works for my pally.

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

Forbearance?

Are you binding it to a mouse button?

Mouseover macros don't work with mouse buttons.
You have to use clique http://www.wowinterface.com/download...08-Clique.html

Otherwise it should work. My paladin has LoH as a mouseover macro and it works.

Of course they do.

Im using mouseovers for Freedom and Salvation via mouse buttons, and they work.

No Forbearance on the target.

Did you try my macro?

[Vyse]

Yep and it doesnt work, dont know why.

Last time I checked they don't. (patch 3.2)
Mouseover macros bound to mouse buttons do not work over unit frames due to the way wow listens to mouse events.

This thread shows some people with the same problem posting from last month, so I believe it wasn't fixed recently.

Your other 2 macros that were bound to mouse buttons were probably not working as you wanted them. When using a mouse button on a mouseover macro it only ignores the [target=mouseover] part but still executes the rest.


Also, it would be helpful if you specifically state how it doesn't work.
Does it always cast on self?
Does it ignore mouseover?
Does it cast on the target friendly player (when targeting one)?
Does a no target error show up?
Does nothing?

And try removing the rank part of the macro. There's no use for it, and if you forget to change your macro later you will be casting a lower rank spell (when new ranks appear).

My mouseover macro:

#showtooltip Lay on Hands
/cast [@target,exists,help][@mouseover,exists,help][@player] Lay on Hands

if your target is friendly it heals your target, else it heals your mouseover target, else it heals yourself. works with my mousebuttons but I've set the mousebutton to " F8 " in the drivers so dunno if there would be any problems without that.

I got 2 other macros, which look like this:

#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover,help][help][target=player] Hand of Freedom


And they work.

My LoH macro just keeps casting LoH on myself, regardless of me having a target, mousing over Grid or a Focus Target.

Doesnt work, and I dont know why, keeps casting LoH on myself.

The target does not have Forbearance, it is a target of my own faction and I also invited him into my group ~

Using too many brackets in macros could be an issue.

Try revising it to be:
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,exists] Lay on Hands; Lay on Hands

That way, it will cast if you are mousing over a player or their frame, otherwise it will cast it on yourself. You should find that it works. If not, then there is a conflict somewhere. If you want to add a focus frame, just put in [@focus,exists] Lay on Hands after the semi-colon, as below:

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,exists] Lay on Hands; [@focus,exists] Lay on Hands; Lay on Hands

Then, make sure you are hitting the macro, after having dragged it to your bar; not the spell from your spellbook.

#showtooltip Lay on Hands
/cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead][help][target=player] Lay on Hands

make sure you spell the spell right

Works with focus target, testing it again in 15 min @ a party / grid target.

Works, thank you.
