Ask it! Macro Edition

[Jadora]

Im trying to get a macro that will shapeshift me from boomkin to flight form or from flight form to boomkin, depending on which form I am currently in. If possible I would like to be able to have that in one macro so i can bind it to a key and not have to try and click the tiny box every time >.<

[Mordret]

Ive looked around a bit and cant seem to find anything helpful really so i figured id try here and any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to create a macro that will cast scatter shot at a target but if they are to far to be scattered to instead use wyvern sting. Thanks in advance

Can't be done.

Thanks Mordret!

I'm looking to make a macro that will help with mass amounts of pickpocketing... basically I want it to swap from my current target to the nearest hostile that hasn't been pickpocketed yet. Not sure if there's a way to do that but thanks in advance.

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,help][] Unleash Elements

I'm using this one and it works well.

Hmm.. The macro I had was similar, apart from the [] - any explanation as to what that does?

Empty conditional, means cast without any specific options.

Hello, Im trying to get some more functionality out of my [Intervene] ability. I would like to make a macro that will target my closest Friendly target, like a shift-tab. Im really interested in using the macro purely for the mobility and not worrying about selecting someone and checking to see if they are close would be very nice. I suspect the macro would look like this

/target[friendly] (or something like that??? this line is supposed to be equivalent to the shift-tab)
/cast Intervene

please any help you can offer would be great!

also, if there is some big book or wow macro mechanics and commands please let me know...

#showtooltip
/targetfriend [nohelp][dead]
/cast [@mouseover,help][] Intervene

The problem with this is that it isn't always that fast, believe it or not, at least not with targets at max range. Also, I suspect that if it acts anything like "/targetenemy", it will only find targets in a 90 degree cone in front of your character. In general, its easier just to mouseover any friendly target running around and press the button. That's why I made it a mouseover macro. That should only have the requirement that the target is in front of you.

there was a link to a site where you could type in a macro and it would tell you what the macro would do and i lost it and cannot find it in all this crap, if you know what it was please help me !!! thanks!

also i have a warrior macro that will charge from out of combat then switch to zerker and intercept. i need to find out if i can get back into battlestance again with the same macro or at least have another macro that will use something that requires berserker and then switch me back to battle.

[Liquidin]

Thank you for the Macro! And i totally understand your point about the targeting 90degree in front thing. I really don't mind so much to be honest... Intervene's range is fairly limited anyways so my first choice wouldn't be someone at max range or even more then 15 yards from me. Also, if it works like I hope then its completely spam able while im tanking since the intervene wont go though unless it actually acquires a target for me to intervene.

Anyways ill check this macro out as soon as i get home. thanks again!

(Part I dont have for the Icon.)

Disengage/trap marco
and launch trap one click macro

Disengage/trap marco
and launch trap one click macro

/cast Trap
/cast Disengage

If Trap in on the GCD do /castsequence Trap, Disengage

#2 isn't possible iirc.

#showtooltip
/cast [modifier:alt]Moonfire; Lifebloom

I have that atm, I want to make it so that Alt+Key will detect if target is friendly, then cast Moonfire on ToT and still have Key cast Lifebloom

Kind of combining this and this:
#showtooltip
/cast [harm] Moonfire; [target=targettarget] Moonfire

Thanks!

Try,

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt,@targettarget,harm][harm] Moonfire; Lifebloom

[Tranzcend]

That's VERY close but not quite what I want. Everything is good except the fact that If I target an enemy and press my key (no alt), it casts Moonfire, but I want it to cast Lifebloom on myself

Oh, then in that case,

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt,@targettarget,harm] Moonfire; [help][@player] Lifebloom

I'm assuming you still want to be able to Lifebloom others - otherwise just remove [help].

Untested:

/use Jeeves
/y JEEVES IS OUT. REPAIR NOW.
/run SetRaidTarget("Jeeves",2)

Tested and it does not set a triangle over top.
