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

is it posibble to have target friendly; target harm cast two different spells within one macro

say if my target is friendly i cast flash heal

if my target is an enemy i cast mind spike

and just so i clear up all my thoughts if this can be done can shft,ctrl,alt modifiers be put into the equations as well

say press 1 target=friendly cast flash heal
say press shift + 1 target = friendly cast greater heal

press 1 on an enemy mind spike
press shift+1 on an enemy mind blast

I'm trying to make a Mouseover first, if not moused over, then target. If no target, then self... I'm using
#showtooltip Dispel Magic
/cast [target=mouseover,help][target=target]Dispel Magic

[Pikapika]

#show dispel magic
/use [@mouseover,help][@target,exists][@player]dispel magic

Is there a way to suppress the popup box with the "you can't do that" message when you try to call a protected function in a /script command?

Also, an unrelated question. I'm trying to make a macro that casts Guardian of Ancient Kings (only) on the first keypress, then a whole assortment of cooldowns on the second. Will this work?

#showtooltip Avenging Wrath
/castsequence Guardian of Ancient Kings,X
/castsequence X,Avenging Wrath
/castsequence X,Zealotry
/castsequence X,Trinket

Why do you try calling a protected function in the first place?

[lawomous]

No, the castsequence can only move forward if the spell was cast sucessfully, so something like this may work:

#showtooltip Avenging Wrath
/cast Guardian of Ancient Kings
/castsequence Guardian of Ancient Kings,Avenging Wrath
/castsequence Guardian of Ancient Kings,Zealotry
/castsequence Guardian of Ancient Kings,13

13 would be your top trinket slot, and 14 would be the bottom one.

#showtooltip
/use Mana Tide Totem
/run if GetTime()>(cd or 0)then cd=GetTime()+180 SendChatMessage("Casting Mana Tide Totem","YELL")end

#showtooltip
/use Spirit Link Totem
/run if GetTime()>(cd or 0)then cd=GetTime()+180 SendChatMessage("Casting Spirit Link Totem","YELL")end

I forget the exact cooldown on each of these so Im just assuming it is 3 min each. just change the 180 to the number of seconds of the cooldown.

I would really like to make a macro that will cast arcane power, presence of mind and pop a trinket when I hit my arcane blast key. How would I go about doing that?

#showtooltip Avenging Wrath
/cast Guardian of Ancient Kings
/castsequence Guardian of Ancient Kings,Avenging Wrath
/castsequence Guardian of Ancient Kings,Zealotry
/castsequence Guardian of Ancient Kings,13

13 would be your top trinket slot, and 14 would be the bottom one.

I'm at work so I can't test it now, but I think I tried something similar to that once and it didn't work. I'll check it when I get home though, I could be wrong. If I remember right, it would realize that Guardian is on cooldown and just stop there because it was unable to successfully cast. I was looking at your post in this thread http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1073534 and thought the "Banana Waffles" (LOL) trick would do what I'm trying for.

Why do you try calling a protected function in the first place?

Mostly just playing around with stuff. I'm trying to learn more than just the simple macros I write now.

You're using the same global for both macros. Also, why don't you use GetSpellCooldown instead?

#showtooltip
/use Mana Tide Totem
/run if GetSpellCooldown("Mana Tide Totem")==0 then SendChatMessage("Casting Mana Tide Totem","YELL") end

(Equivalent for SLT)

Well, I suppose you could hook StaticPopup_Show (or the StaticPopup frames' OnShow scripts) and then hide the popup if its' .which is "MACRO_ACTION_FORBIDDEN" (which is the respective StaticPopup key according to StaticPopup.lua).

So far I've come up with:

#showtooltip Arcane Blast
/use 14
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/cast Arcane Power
/stopcasting
/cast Arcane Blast

The problem is it doesn't cast arcane blast, it just keeps interrupting the cast when I spam the button.

Also I'd be interested to know if there's a way to make a macro that can check if arcane missiles are up and if not cast arcane blast.

Take out the /stopcasting line, and for the 2nd part of the question, it is not possible.

there is no way to check for procs or cast based on that in a macro.
also like was previously said remove the /stopcasting part

So, im looking to make some macros for doting multiple target's. I want it to cast at my current target if i have no mouseover, and cast at my mouseover if i have any.
Been trying some but cant get it to work.

/use [@mouseover, harm][] Dot Spell Name

Can someone share with me the condition that makes a spell target my focus's target, ideally without requiring me to be targeting my focus (ie, not the assist condition)

:EDIT:

Actually I'd like to know how to write something a bit more complex: If I am targeting a friendly target, cast Smite on my Focus target's target; if I am targeting a hostile target, cast Smite on my target.
