Ask it! Macro Edition

[Scooby Dooby Doo]

Not sure if that's the right sub forum to ask.

I'm wondering if it's possible to key bind or macro Clique Addon profiles ?

[Thundertom]

I can't seem to get this macro right.

There's basically 3 components to it;

• Pressed without MOD, and in action bar 1: Heroic Strike
• Pressed without MOD, and in action bar 2; Cleave
• Pressed with any MOD, and in any action bar; Heroic Leap

What I got is this:

#showtooltip
/startattack
/cast [mod]!Heroic Leap
/stopmacro[mod]
/cast [actionbar:1]Heroic Strike;Cleave

It fires the Heroic Strikes and Cleaves correctly, but it doesn't fire the Heroic Leap.

Could you guys help me out please?

Thanks!

Try

#showtooltip
/startattack
/cast [mod]!Heroic Leap;[actionbar:1]Heroic Strike;Cleave

Really no need for the stopmacro as you can just combine everything.
Also make sure you don't have anything bound to whatever this will be with the mod, e.g. if you use shift+4 to use this macro make sure that shift+4 isn't bound. If you're unsure see if it works if you hold a mod and the macro, if it works on click but not on button then you need to check the bindings for that key combination.

Thanks!

I know for sure I don't have any double keybinds, it's just that I'm not very good with multiple macro modifiers in 1 macro :P

Hi guys,
i found this macro:

/run local s={"TEST"} for i=1,#s do DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME: AddMessage("\124c00ffffff\ \124c00FF0033\124Hitem:"..s[i]..":0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0\124h["..s[i].."]\124h\124r\124c00ffffff")end

It overwrites an item link, but only does it locally.
Could Some1 edit this script so i can link the overwritten link in chat?

Kind regards,
Kark.

I tried working on it, but I can't get it to work. I'm not getting any lua errors, but I'm not getting any output in the chat either, which leads me to think that you cannot post custom links in the chat. If it was possible the simple solution should be to change the code to this (which would send it to my custom channel 5):

/run local s={"TEST"} for i=1,#s do SendChatMessage("\124c00ffffff\ \124c00FF0033\124Hitem:"..s[i]..":0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0\124h["..s[i].."]\124h\124r\124c00ffffff","channel",nil,"5")end

What is it exactly you're trying to do with this macro, though? I could possibly attempt find some other solution if I knew more specifically what you want.

The server checks for validity of the link before forwarding it to other clients. There's no way you can do what you're trying to do.

What i'm trying to accomplish is to overwrite an item link and post this in a chat channel.
I don't know if this is possible on retail servers, but i play on molten and i saw people doing this.
Will post a screenshot later so you guys see what i mean.

Hey, I'm trying to put Faerie Fire and Feral Faerie Fire on the same button, based on what I've learned already about stances in macros, but I can't get it to work, this is what I'm using at the moment:

#showtooltip
/cast [stance:1] !Faerie Fire (Feral)(Feral)
/cast [stance:3] !Faerie Fire (Feral)(Feral)
/cast !Faerie Fire

It works in a feral form, but when I go to caster form it tells me I need to be in cat or bear form, what could I add / change to make it work for both?

Is it possible to write a macro that will Que me for a random/specific Battleground?

Ive searched everywhere trying to find a good guide on linking profession through a macro, I'm completely lost. I've tried using some ive found, but haven't been able to get any to work. Can someone provide one they use or something? Thanks in advance.

i believe theres an add-on to do what the poster wants, but thats more than a macro can do, and i'm not so sure it doesn't break some sort of terms of service rule.

just open up your profession pane when making the macro and Shift-click the Link button and it will put a working link in any macro.

Really? I just tried that and all it does is link the word enchanting, not link. As far as I know its always been like that...

I believe those functions are protected, so it is not possible to queue yourself into a battleground with a macro.

Hi there.

I am in need of a macro, I'm not sure how to make it work.

I play an Unholy DK, on occasion I need my ghoul to stay on one target, while I'm on another. It's easy enough for me at the start of a fight, but if for some reason I need to summon a new ghoul, I would like an easy, single click macro for the ghoul to attack my focus.

I have tried:
/cast [target=[pettarget=focus],harm,nodead][] attack

I simply want the pet to autoattack when I resummon it

Any help woul dbe much appreciated.

#showtooltip

/petattack focus

Thank you Treeston and Newbie for the prompt responses. As I feared, I was overcomplicating things buy the looks.

Thanks again.

I made the screenshot of a guy doing this, he doesn't want to tell me what exactly the macro is, but he says i'm close.. :

/run local s={"TEST"} for i=1,#s do DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME: AddMessage("\124c00ffffff\ \124c00FF0033\124Hitem:"..s[i]..":0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0\124h["..s[i].."]\124h\124r\124c00ffffff" )end

Noone can solve this?

Kark.
