Ask it! Macro Edition

[aJskoLD]

Soo i kinda need help with this macro...

I'd like to whisper only online guildy's but the macro i've "made" tries to whisper offline guildmembers as well...

 /script n=GetNumGuildMembers(); i=1; while(i<n+1) do c,g=GetGuildRosterInfo(i); SendChatMessage("test","WHISPER",nil,c); end; i=i+1; end;

i was thinking of

 /script n=GetNumGuildMembers(); i=1; while(i<n+1) do c,g=GetGuildRosterInfo(i); if online == 1 then SendChatMessage("test","WHISPER",nil,c); end; i=i+1; end;

but for if i try to do it like this he just won't do anything .


Cheers





PS :
Also had this :

 /run for i=1,GetNumGuildMembers(true) do local name,_,_,_,_,zone_,_,online = GetGuildRosterInfo(i); SendChatMessage("Yoooo "..name..".. What are you doing in "..zone.."?","WHISPER",nil ,name) ; end

result = same

/run for i=1, GetNumGuildMembers(true) do local n,_,_,_,_,z,_,_,o=GetGuildRosterInfo(i) if o then SendChatMessage("Yoooo "..n..".. What are you doing in "..z.."?","WHISPER",nil ,n) end end

Though I don't quite see the use in such a macro. What's the use in asking somebody what he's doing if you don't really care about what he's doing.

On my shaman i'm using a very basic macro of

#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=7 lavaburst, lightning bolt, lightning bolt, lightning bolt

However sometimes in combat it locks up and won't go back to lavaburst (usually when i'm spamming it) is there a way to stop this from happening?

Reset on castsequnce is time after the last click, so if you spam (all the time) it should cycle just fine, however if you cast LvB,LB,LB you will still have to wait 7 seconds for reset.

(just curious, is it macro for ele or resto?)

hmm i see, it's for ele. so there's no way to fix that or write a superior macro?

Nope, can't write macros that play the game for you.

This can play the Ele rotation for you fairly decently:

/castsequence reset=5 Lightning Bolt,Lightning Bolt,Chain Lightning
/castsequence reset=9 Elemental Mastery,14,Berserking,Lifeblood
/castsequence reset=9 Unleash Elements,Flame Shock,Lava Burst,Earth Shock,Lava Burst,Earth Shock,Lava Burst

@lawomous
Well, it may work, but UE without movment and Earth Shock without Fulmination is quite much a dps loss.

Well, first of all you shouldn't use it because of Lava Surge (resets cooldown on LvB).
Second, nope, there is no option to write better macro.

helpful response there grifter, but my question was about macro mechanics not having one button that 'plays the game for me'.

this was just for pvp not raiding so just wanted the two spells in one macro to free up a keybind but it's all good i'll just keep them seperately binded. thanks for the detailed replies though :~)

What OS are you using? I believe I read something about a known issue with 4.1.

I'm on a Mac running with OS X 10.6.7.

I also tested it today, and it seems to be an issue with my mouse. I can set the keys on my keyboard to bindings with modifiers, and I can use my number pad on my keyboard with modifiers, but if I try to use modifiers with the mouse's button grid, it won't work.

Known issue with Macs and 4.1, as far as I'm aware.

A quick macro question that I hope someone will answer.

What would the macro be to target whatever (Valiona for example) with left button and target, say Theralion, with the right button of my mouse?

something like this:

/target [btn:1] Valiona; [btn:2] Theralion
/cast something

Not sure if this has been asked yet, but with the change to allow downstroke macros by default, is it possible to have a macro that does one thing on the down stroke and another on the up stroke?

With a macro as this, to manually reset it; you just add a button modifier to the beginning to reset when that button is pushed.
So /castsequence reset=[ect]X spell, spell, spell..........
Ect is the modifier you wish to use and the X is the time you want it to reset, aswell adding /combat will reset when entering combat aswell.

/cast [target=focus] Cyclone
/cast [target=focus, modifier:shift] Entangling Roots
/cast [target=focus, modifier:ctrl] Hibernate

some how this seems to not work for me -.- it ALLWAYS makes me cast cyclone ;(((
i have bound - unbound - rebound the key "R" i want to use for it - so it isn't used by some other bind ... any suggestions ?!

I don't know if it's been asked yet but I was wondering if there is a macro that would allow me to use growl on my current target, then when I press a modifier key, it would use growl on my focus targets target.

Maybe something like:
#showtooltip growl
/cast growl [modifier=shift, target=focustargettarget]

Prettys sure that's no where near what it's supposed to be but I'm not very god with creating macros that complicated, well complicated to me anyways.

Thanks.

Almost got it, try this:

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift,@focustarget][]Growl

maybe I sound stupid, but who is your focus targets target? if the focus is the boss, wouldn't that be you or another friendly player?
