I am smelling a keybind issue. You sure no keybinds have changed in your transition?

The only key binds that gave me trouble were the ones bound to my mouse buttons. OSX apparently won't recognize MB 3, 4, & 5 so I changed those in the Logitech program to /, ', & Del. The binds work on my shaman fine, but my druid has things macro'd & nothing works. I even tried to change the alt modifier to option or command but it didn't work.

Edit: I just tried to click it with the modifiers, worked perfectly fine. Shift & command worked with the macro as is. But it won't work with the mouse button. Oddest thing.

Is it possible to write a macro that un-equips/empties a specific armor slot? I'm specifically looking for a macro that removes my equipped tabard.

Found this:

Code:

/run local id,tid=GetInventoryItemID("player", 19),TABARD_ID if id then TABARD_ID=id PickupInventoryItem(19)EquipmentManager_PutItemInInventory()elseif tid then EquipItemByName(tid)else print("No tabard found. Equip a tabard and use this again.")end

This requires you to start with the tabard equipped. Once you use it with a tabard equipped, it will record the tabard's itemID and equip/unequip it with each click. To switch to a different tabard, just use the macro with the new tabard equipped.

Thanks mate.

Hey guys I need a macro for Death Coil. I need it to fire death coil at my pet if I have no enemy target, but otherwise hit my primary target if the enemy is hostile.

Thanks in advance.

**Treeston** · 2012-05-21, 12:36 PM

Code:

#showtooltip
/cast [harm][@pet]Death Coil

Does any prot warrior out there have any macros they feel the can not live with out? i use the 1 button charge/intercept/intervene macro just wondering if there are any others that make tanking easier.

So I just searched the thread and couldn't find anything specifically on this matter.

My idea for a fishing macro is for it to:

with no mod:
/equipslot 16 Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole
/cast fishing

with mod:shift
/equipslot 16 Golad, Twilight of Aspects; 17 Tiriosh, Nightmare of Ages

I used to have a pretty basic one that did the job, sort of, but I just found this one in this thread:

/equipslot 16 Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole
/cast fishing
/equipslot [mod:shift] 16 Golad, Twilight of Aspects; [mod:shift] 17 Tiriosh, Nightmare of Ages

I'm having two issues with it:

Whenever I shift+click, it doesn't equip the daggers and instead casts fishing.

Also, is there any reason for a macro to not work when I shift+keybind, and only work on shift+click? inb4 "the shift+keybind is bound to something else": it isn't.

Just tried, it, doesn't equip the fishing pole OR try to cast fishing...

If I manually equip the pole though, when I shift+click it, it equips the daggers and tries to cast fishing. That's the part baffling me...

EDIT:

tried with

#showtooltip
/equip [nomod] Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole
/cast [nomod] Fishing
/equipslot [equipped:Fishing Poles, mod] 16 Golad, Twilight of Aspects;17 Tiriosh, Nightmare of Ages

it works fine until the moment I have to shift+click to re-equip the daggers, and it doesn't equip both with one click... suggestions?

**Treeston** · 2012-05-22, 10:50 PM

Code:

#showtooltip
/equip [nomod:shift]Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole
/cast [nomod:shift]Fishing
/stopmacro [nomod:shift]
/equipslot 16 Golad, Twilight of Aspects
/equipslot 17 Tiriosh, Nightmare of Ages

So I'm trying to set up a macro to gear swap based on mouse click.

/run [button: 1] EquipmentManager_EquipSet("Holy")
/run [button: 2] EquipmentManager_EquipSet("Naked")

This isn't working for whatever reason, but when I split them and remove the button modifier it works fine.

**Mehman** · 2012-05-23, 10:12 AM

is there any way i can have a macro that whispers multiple people at once? because using:

/w X *imoportant stuff*
/w Y *other important stuff*

doesn't seem to work for me for whatever reason

/run doesn't take macro conditionals.

Code:

/run EquipmentManager_EquipSet((GetMouseButtonClicked() == GetMouseButtonName(2)) and "Naked" or "Holy")

**Krothos** · 2012-05-23, 04:00 PM

Currently using the following macro to announce who I'm rezzing:

#showtooltip
/cast Resurrection
/p Casting Resurrection on %T

If there a why to prevent the announcement as part of the macro if the Resurrection can't be casted, such as if I accidently click when I'm dead or the target is already alive? Thanks.

**bargio** · 2012-05-26, 05:58 PM

Hello everyone,

I've tried but failed ! So I'm asking you...

I'd like to have a simple macro that says "thank you" on /p and "thank you" on /g when I press Alt.

Thank you very much,

EDIT : I've done it :

Code:

/run if IsAltKeyDown() then SendChatMessage("Thank you", "PARTY") else SendChatMessage("Thank you", "GUILD") end

**kombucha** · 2012-05-26, 07:38 PM

Would really like some help with this one:

I recently transferred to a new server to serve as a scout for my current guild. I'll be rolling around for a couple weeks guildless to maintain my current rep, and that means I'm getting Ginvite spam every 45 seconds. I've disabled the invites, but I still get the annoying automated whispers.

What I would love is a macro that reports the last person to whisper me for spamming. Is this possible?

**Treeston** · 2012-05-27, 09:27 AM

Code:

/run local a,c,d,e=ChatFrame1 for b=a:GetNumMessages(),1,-1 do c=a:GetMessageInfo(b) d,e=c:match("\124Hplayer:([^:]+):(%d+):WHISPER") if d and e then ReportPlayer(PLAYER_REPORT_TYPE_SPAM,tonumber(e)) print(("Reported %s."):format(d)) break end end

Drycoded.

Hello guys!

I need macro, that will primarily cast spell on my mouseover target, but when i don't have any it will cast on normal (selected) target.
I've tried with [harm], [exists] and so on, but it didn't worked, probably i just did something wrong.

Cheers!
