Ask it! Macro Edition

Hi guys! I'm a long time user of Opie. I've recently started playing my boomchicken, and fallen in love with the shapeshifting wheel. The custom macro it comes with is:

#rkrequire [Swift Flight Form (Shapeshift)] / [Flight Form (Shapeshift)] / [Aquatic Form (Shapeshift)] / [Travel Form (Shapeshift)]
/cancelform [noflyable]
/cast [flyable,outdoors,nocombat,noswimming,nomod][flying] [Swift Flight Form (Shapeshift)] / [Flight Form (Shapeshift)]; [swimming] [Aquatic Form (Shapeshift)]; [nocombat,outdoors,nomod:alt] [Green Shado-Pan Riding Tiger]; [outdoors] [Travel Form (Shapeshift)]

What can I add for it to keep me in moonkin form while ground mounting? If I mount up myself, not using this macro I stay in form. Using it kicks me out and it gets kind of annoying while leveling. Also, sorry I don't know how to do the fancy code thing you guys are doing to keep things clean.

Try changing

Code:

/cancelform [noflyable]

to

Code:

/cancelform [noflyable,noform:5]

It works fine without modifiers (i got it bound to num 7 since i got a naga) but whenever i hold down a modifier and press num 7 the icon changes to ? for a millisecond and nothing happens.

Cant solve the problem for you, but one thing I do know is that modifiers sucks with the naga. You need to remap the key bindings in the software, the reason is that numpad numbers do something totaly different when you hold down modifiers (Writing on a laptop now, so cant recall what num7 does). The way I solved it was to remap all my keybindings on the naga to F5-F12 and some other random letters I dont use for anything else.

Simply add [CO DE] text [/CO DE] (without the spaces between O and D), or go advanced mode and press the # icon and it will put the code around the text.

Hi I have a question regarding a warrior macro.

Basically, its a Overpower macro that IF there is a shaman, and IF the shaman puts out a healing tide totem, when I use my Overpower (if its enabled in the first place) it targets the totem and uses the Overpower on the totem. If there is no shaman or totems out, my Overpower works just as normal but when the totem comes out the Overpower prioritize that.
I dont want this on two separate buttons but on one button.

Is this possible? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Hey, looking to make a macro to heal my mouseover target, or myself if i have no mouseover target.

Currently i use, for rejuv for example.

#showtooltip Rejuvenation
/cast [target=mouseover] Rejuvenation

Just not sure how to add the "if no targets, target me" part.

Hello helpful community of MMO-Champ, I am in need of assistance. I am looking for some useful Demo Lock macros, especially entering and cancelling META form. Any other on use macros would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and help!

Not possible - macros can't decide things based on enemy classes, or totem existance (heck, you can't even target a totem in a macro, as far as I know, because of totem-stomping macros).

Try this. Replace the colored text with the index of the current rank of members you'd like to promote/demote and the new rank index you'd like them to get. Note that the rank index is not the same as shown in guild control; the guild master's rank index starts at 0, so the index you want to use is the rank number in guild control minus 1.

Code:

/run for i=1,GetNumGuildMembers() do local _,_,rankIndex=GetGuildRosterInfo(i) if rankIndex == #currentrankindex then SetGuildMemberRank(i,#newrankindex) end end

Would like some assistance with my sha of fear macro... Basically I just want it to yell something like "Guardian of Light on -target-" in addition to what it does already.

Code:

/target mouseover
/click ExtraActionButton1
/targetlasttarget

Hi peoples, need some Warrior fury Macros, any ideas?
Thankz

**Fearzwtf** · 2013-03-06, 10:46 PM

Looking for some expertise, not sure it can be done. Macro to combine swp and holy fire. Since both are instant but one has a cooldown, I would assume a 2 button push to get them both out. Is it possible to create a macro where if holy fire is on the 10 second cooldown, the button could be pushed for swp.

To clarify. push macro, it fires holy fire. push same button, it fires swp. If holy fire is on cooldown and I push the button again, it fires swp until holy fire is off cooldown in which it firest holy fire.

Thanks in advance.

Hey

I'm looking for a macro to put signs on my team members in 2s and 3s. You know, the skull and cross and all that.

@Fearzwtf
Pretty sure macros cant detect CDs, but you could try a castsequence macro.

Code:

/castsequence reset="CD of holy fire" Holy Fire, Shadow Word Pain

Or add a modifier to it

Code:

/cast [mod:shift] Holy Fire; Shadow Word Pain

You can of course change that to what ever modifier you want.

Though that macro wont do as you asked for, as you need to press shift to cast Holy Fire, and it will cast SWP when you dont hold down shift.

P.S I'm very new to macros, so if this is wrong please correct me. Just trying to figure it out

Is there something like this possible:

I have two spells. Dragon Roar and Whirlwind. The first is on a 60 sec CD, the second has not CD. they are both on global CD

I want to cast dragon roar, and if that is on CD, cast whirlwind.
My first Idea was: /castsequence reset=60 Dragon Roar, whirlwind, whirlwind, whirlwind, whirlwind, whirlwind, whirlwind, whirlwind, whirlwind, whirlwind.... you get the idea. but 60 seconds is 40 times whirlwind (1.5s global cd), minus one for DR, makes it 39 times whirlwind. and I get max 19 or 20 whirlwind into one macro, then 255 characters kick in. otherwise this would work, if it wouldnt be for the max characters.

any idea, how this could be achieved?

A castsequence starts counting those 60 seconds after the last press, so that macro wouldn't work even if you had unlimited character space. Only way you can do that is with modifiers.
