#showtooltip
/cleartarget
/target [@mouseover]
/cast [harm] [@targettarget,harm] Holy Prism
/targetlasttarget

Let me know if it doesn't work as expected. Took a bit of mulling before I realized I could just target the mouseover. :P

[Sakpoth]

Or making it simpler

#showtooltip
/use [@mouseover,harm][@mouseovertarget,harm] Holy Prism

#showtooltip
/use [@mouseover,harm][@mouseovertarget,harm] Holy Prism

Ah, didn't realize mouseovertarget was a conditional.

[Treeston]

"<unitID>target" is always a valid unitID. You can chain this any number of times (for example, you could do [@targettargettargettargettargettargettargettargettargettarget]). The sole exception are group member name pseudo-uIDs, for which you use "<name>-target".

#showtooltip
/cancelaura [channeling] Immolation Aura
/cancelaura [channeling] Hellfire
/stopmacro [channeling]
/cast !Immolation Aura
/cast Hellfire
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

This still doesn't work. In human form, Hellfire goes off. In demon form, Immolation Aura does not when I press it a second time.

Hi,

can you guys help me with a macro? I want to bind Clash and Leg Sweep together. If I'm far enough away I want the charge, if I'm too close for Clash => Leg Sweep.

#showtooltip Clash
/cast Clash
/cast Leg Sweep

This doesn't work, because I charge and sweep at the same time. Any ideas?


edit: castsequence seem to work.
edit2: it's not. -.- atleast not castsequence Clash, Leg Sweep

A macro cannot make a decision based on how far the target is away from you, sorry.

[kakadu]

Well, if I'm too close or Clash is on CD (meaning Clash isn't working), is it possible for Leg Sweep to step in? Like ability A doesn't work now, use ability B instead?

TYVM exactly what i was looking for

No, that is exactly what's not possible via a macro, to check if ability A is usable (be it because of range, CD, proc, energy level,.......) and use it, or another if it isn't.

[kakadu]

That's sad. Need more keys for all my bindings...

But thanks for the quick answer.

Hello everyone, i believe my problem was already mentioned, but i can't fint it through search, i'm sorry if it's a repeat.
All i want is a macro which will cast one of my totems and then say something like "expired" when it ends. (I saw it on a video, it was even like StormLash totem UP, and then Expired in 2, Expired in 1, Expired). I tried to search it for myself, but didn't find anything useful, all i found is information that macroses can't wait and then apply an action (but i saw it!) I tried to search addons, but AfterCast was the only thing i found, and it's not exactly what i was looking for, and additionally it is out-of-date.
May be i missed the correct topic, but i believe it's more like an easy macro than an addon. Thanks a lot in advance ^_^

No, you can't do that. You'll need an addon for it. There's plenty of addons that offers functionality similar to, or exactly like, what you're asking. I can recommend both Power Auras and Weak Auras for starters.

Well, things to consider when making a macro for this... unless I'm mistaken, Immolation Aura isn't a spell but a passive ability that makes Hellfire non-channeled while in Metamorphosis. Does it even change the buff name to Immolation Aura, or does it keep being called Hellfire?

#showtooltip
/cancelaura [channeling] [form] Hellfire
/stopmacro [channeling] [form]
/cast Hellfire
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

Try that, if I'm correct and Hellfire keeps being named Hellfire. If it changes to being named Immolation Aura, try this:

#showtooltip
/cancelaura [form] Immolation Aura
/cancelaura [channeling] Hellfire
/stopmacro [form] [channeling]
/cast [form] Immolation Aura; Hellfire
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

Edit: Upon reconsideration, my above macros won't work very well either. Hmm...

I can't think of a good way to make the stopmacro command work, not without a modifier. I'll see if any ideas appear overnight.

[Myzou]

So. Is it possible to make a macro that casts Purify if you're targeting a friendly target (or no one, AKA yourself), and Dispel Magic if you're targeting an enemy?

Excellent topic! I also need some help.

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,harm,mod:shift] Moonfire; [mod:shift] Moonfire
/cast [@mouseover,harm] Wrath; Wrath

This is what I use now. This is for my resto druid. I want mouseover to have priority over a target.

It works, really, it does, but what happens is if I spam the Wrath button, and decide to press shift to refresh moonfire, it won't cast moonfire right after the cast. I really have to stop the wrath, wait, and then try again. Then it works. Any way to fix?

#showooltip
/cast [@mouseover,harm,mod:shift][mod:shift,harm]moonfire;[@mouseover,harm][]wrath

Reason it doesn't switch back to moonfire while in the middle of a wrath spam is because you're using 2 /casts, don't ask me how exactly it works, I just know it tends to do that.

I saw a macro that did this before but I forgot to copy it down and I can't find the thread.

This is for the lvl 90 talents of a paladin to be specific.

Any help?
