Dynamic "Pulling Now!" tanking macro

[Brusalk]

Hey, a tank and myself in my guild was working on a macro which makes use of the /in command to post Pulling in 3, 2, 1, NOW! in the appropriate chat-channel. We came up with a two-macro solution to keep from having to use an addon. We came up with the following


Macro 1:
/run b,c=GetNumRaidMembers(),"SAY";if(UnitName("PARTY1")~=nil)then c="PARTY"end;if(b>0)then c="RAID"end;if(IsRaidOfficer()~=nil)then c="RAID_WARNING"end;if(GetCVar("K")~=nil)then SetCVar("K",c)else RegisterCVar("K",c)end
/click MultiBarBottomRightButton1


Macro 2: (placed in the bottomright bar, button 1 (all the way to the left on the bottom right action bar button)
/run SendChatMessage("PULLING IN 3",GetCVar("K"))
/in 1 /run SendChatMessage("3",GetCVar("K"))
/in 2 /run SendChatMessage("2",GetCVar("K"))
/in 3 /run SendChatMessage("1",GetCVar("K"))
/in 3.5 /run SendChatMessage("PULLING NOW!!!",GetCVar("K"))


It will determine which type of party you are in, (as well as raid warning) and post it out. You only press macro 1, and macro 2 will automatically be pushed.
Just thought it might be useful for its designed purpose, or for other stuff which requires the logic to determine which channel to post to automatically

/run SlashCmdList.L=function(i) SendChatMessage(i,(IsRaidOfficer() and "RAID_WARNING" or (GetRealNumRaidMembers()>0) and "RAID" or (GetRealNumPartyMembers()>0) and "PARTY")) end SLASH_L1="/l"
/l PULLING IN 3
/in 1 /l 3
/in 2 /l 2
/in 3 /l 1
/in 3.5 /l PULLING!

Should be exactly 255 characters *phew*

EDIT: Untested though, got no client available right now.

Two approaches to the same problem. I never even thought of registering a new slash-command :P I'll be interested to see if it works.

That's more than 255 characters.

260 chars, can you chop it down a hair?

[Morksen]

Maybe remove some blanks:

/run SlashCmdList.L=function(i)SendChatMessage(i,(IsRaidOfficer()and "RAID_WARNING" or(GetRealNumRaidMembers()>0)and "RAID" or (GetRealNumPartyMembers()>0) and "PARTY")) end SLASH_L1="/l"
/l PULL IN 3
/in 1 /l 3
/in 2 /l 2
/in 3 /l 1
/in 3.5 /l PULLING!

But also untested, as i have no Client available.

Tested just now, solo party and raid and worked good.
But also got a message that dbm does the same with /dbm pull 5 command.

( nvm the last part, just saw you dont want to use a addon )

/l PULL IN
/in 1 /l 3
/in 2 /l 2
/in 3 /l 1
/in 3.5 /l PULLING

254 characters; I changed the "Pulling in 3" because then it's really more like 4.5 seconds.

why do you need the script stuff?! just press your macro when you pull. would'nt this be enough?:

/ra PULL IN 3
/in 1 /ra 2
/in 2 /ra 1
/in 3 /ra PULLING!

that doesnt switch to /p when in a party, does it ?

/dbm pull 10

Not many ppl know that dbm has got build in pull timer with nice raid warning sound, rly hard to miss.
All you have to be is raid assist ofc.

It can be /dbm pull 3 in your case.

You wanted that additional functionality without need of any additional addons but most likely you use Deadly Boss Mods anyway.

1: Install "Chatter" addon.
2: create this macro:

#Showtooltip Heroic Trow
/gr Pulling in 5!
/in 1 /gr Pulling in 4!
/in 2 /gr Pulling in 3!
/in 3 /gr Pulling in 2!
/in 4 /gr Pulling in 1!

and... press your Heroic trow or Avenger's shield or w/e keybinding or spell you use.

no need for any Script coding or other bullshit.

with chatter addon installed, /gr (or /group) gets automaticly translated into /p /s /raid /bg depending of what situration you're in.


but in any case, i still prefer using /s for Pulling macros, as the chat bubbles that comes up in the middle of people's screen + in their chat is so more effective and graps a lot more attention.

/dbm pull 5

job done.

Perhaps you should read the first post?

Sorry, I removed the newlines to strlen() it with lua and appears i forgot to add those.
