Need help with Shift Modifier macro

[Warrenar]

Hi I'm trying to make a macro that will hamstring normally, and then equip shield / shield bash when modified by shift.

So far I have

#showtooltip Hamstring
/equipslot 16 Shadow's Edge
/cast Hamstring;
/equipslot [mod:shift]16 Bone Warden's Splitter;
/equipslot [mod:shift] 17 Crystal Plated Vanguard;
/cast [mod:shift] Shield Bash

Not working quite right tho, the weapon continues to change back and forth while shift is held down. Can anyone help me out and tell me where I went wrong?

Here's the thing... you made the part that requires shift check if it is pressed, but in this case you should also make the other half of the macro check that shift is NOT pressed, otherwise it will be activated whether you press shift or not.

#showtooltip Hamstring
/equipslot [nomod:shift] 16 Shadow's Edge
/cast [nomod:shift] Hamstring;
/equipslot [mod:shift] 16 Bone Warden's Splitter;
/equipslot [mod:shift] 17 Crystal Plated Vanguard;
/cast [mod:shift] Shield Bash

Assuming what you had was working, this should work completely... I didn't test it though, and there are other ways to do this.

Ah it works beautifully! Thank you for the quick response!

you can change [nomod:shift] to [nomod], it already says "do this when no modifier is pressed", don't need to add the shift part.

And if he pressed alt?

Regardless of the modifier pressed, be it Shift, alt or ctrl, using the [nomod] line simply uses the language of:

"Perform this action when no modifier is depressed"

Using the [mod:XXX] or [modifier:XXX] Commands will follow:

"Perform this action when pressed with modifier XXX"
