Ask it! Macro Edition

[Deleted]

Hello I am asking for assistance by the proes ala proes in macro / scripting. For starters, is it even possible to make a macro for paladins with Hand of Protection that only allows it to be cast on a non tank( etc for heroics the tank has the tank role, and that should be a string somewhere ) is it possible to bring that string into a macro and make it so Hand of Protection cannot be cast on the tank to avoid mistakes before they are made

just a thought I had xD

Not that I can think of, even with dynamic macro-making it's impossible to decide based on whether you're targeting a certain unit (or role, for that matter).

oh well, would mby have been to fool proff but if that would have been possible it would have opened up for some mean macro possibilities in pvp regarding healer spotting and straight up attacks that would prior healers above others xD

I want a macro for my crusader strike as healer where I don´t have to change target. For judgement I have "/cast [@targettarget, harm] Judgement, Judgement" and that one works perfectly. Why doesn't it work when I have the same macro but with CS instead of judgement?

I'm looking for a macro for my Elemental Shaman to effectively give me a one-button filler. I want the macro to cast lava burst as soon as it's off cooldown, and I want to be able to press the same button for lightning bolt while lava burst is on cooldown. I've noticed with a simple /cast lava burst; /cast lightning bolt, it initially casts Lightning Bolt over Lava burst after I cast any other spell.

So i was reading backwards in posts and found this one... and even tho it was dismissed as impossible at the time I remembered making a similar macro, with my extremly low macro-making-abilitys by fooling around, that seemed to work not long ago.
It does what he asks for, but requires button spam since it seems to "cut" the spell-que on a few lightning bolts. I stopped using it tho since it also ofc didn't take into account if there was 0.1 sec untill the next lava burst would be aviable, and would start casting lightning bolt insted. In the end it would cost me around 1k dps on a 5 min fight and between that and the button-spam/laziness i stopped using it.
I'm sure someone here can explain the problems with spell-queing beeing messed up, but other than that it seems to work like it should?

/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","0")
/castsequence Lightning Bolt, Lightning Bolt
/castsequence Lava Burst
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","1")
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

That used to work a few patches ago, but it was fixed last I checked.

That should be:

/cast [@targettarget,harm]Judgement;Judgement

Hey,

i have a guildie who recently got Mimiron's Head mount(that lucky sob). And he is getting loads of whispers while in town asking where did he get it. So he was wondering if it's possible to make an macro to reply a whisper with the achievement?

In this case it would be this

Thanks for the help.

@Friberg

/cast [mod:shift] Icebound Fortitude; Icebound Fortitude
/cast [mod:shift] Anti-Magic Shell; Anti-Magic Shell
/cast [mod:shift] Ant-Magic Zone

should work just fine. I havent been able to test it but it should work

Hi, i would like a warrior macro (for pvp) that would do all of this on the same one button.

If an enemy is targetted, it uses charge (on the targetted enemy).
If i mouseover an enemy, it uses charge (on the moused over enemy).
If i mouseover an ally, it cast defensive stance and uses intervene (on the moused over ally).

Thanks

Weird, I could swear I saw it being fixed.

I'm looking for a way to with a macro send a chat message to "smart group" (that some addons use); /r if I'm in a raid, /p if I'm in a party and /s if I'm in none. Currently this is what I have.

local chan = ??;
local c = "SAY";
if(chan == ??) then
  c = "RAID";
else if (chan == ??) then
  c = "PARTY";
end
local mess = "my message";
SendChatMessage(mess, chan, "TROLL", nil);

And ofc it's the question marks that I need to replace with something that can help me find out what kind of "party-state" I'm in. A bonus would also be if there's a way a macro can find out what race I am so I don't have to replace the language part depending on which toon I'm using. I'm rather new to this kind more advance macro-ing so there might be other mistakes in there as well, feel free to point them out, I havn't really been able to test it since I don't have anything to test it with yet.

Okay so I use arena 123 macros for ccs etc. but my arena 123 skull bash macro isnt working properly.... Icant seem to figure what the problem is. It keeps saying while im in cat form that I have to be in bear form to do it.

#showtooltip [stance:1] Skull Bash(Bear Form); [stance:3] Skull Bash(Cat Form)
/cast [@arena1] [stance:1] Skull Bash(Bear Form); [stance:3] Skull Bash(Cat Form)
This is what I have currently. Thanks

Try this:

Currently using this macro

#showtooltip Mind Control
/cast [@target] Mind Control
/e begins casting Mind Control on %T

Is there a line that I can add in there that will prevent the emote from being spammed when I press the macro multiple times in a panicked frenzy?
