/castrandom kinda broken?

[Nikoll]

i have used /castrandom for my mounts (one for flying and one for ground) for a long time, but since 4.0.1 it seems that the ground mount one will occasionally break. if i pull open the mount menu, mount one, than hit the macro it will work again. all the mounts i have in the macro will mount so it isnt a simple misspeling and there is no extra lines messing up the macro, nor did i end the last mount with a comma. there is also no mounts that can be both flying and ground (headless horseman, invincable, etc). as i said, the same macro has worked for a long time, but now breaks. was this intentional on blizzards part? and if so, why break ground, but not flying?

Not really what you're looking for, but I might suggest the addon mounted which you can use to achieve the same functionality, with some other cool features too.

No idea about the macro but you can try one of these for random mounts:

My cast random for mounts has been working fine for me. I don't know which you're using, but I use:

/castrandom [nomounted, flyable] Bloodbathed Frostbrood Vanquisher, Rusted Proto-Drake
/castrandom [nomounted] Great Brewfest Kodo, Swift Razzashi Raptor, Rivendare's Deathcharger, Swift White Hawkstrider
/dismount
/script VehicleExit()

I ran into an issue with this today on my paladin. Turns out it was because I had the mount item and the spell, and it tries casting the item instead.

My macro is /castrandom Summon Charger, Swift Brewfest Ram
And I had a Swift Brewfest Ram sitting in my bags as well, which confused the macro. Could be your issue.

Seeing how you brought up the Mount Macro with bugs, I can aswell bring up the bug I noticed with my Mount Macro which is using a Number Position for which Mount to summon. The weird part I found out was how the Mounts are counted after the change. The old system had 12 mounts per page in 6x2 rows/columns and the new system has 16 Mounts with 4x4. However with the Number Position they only count 12 per page as usual which would mean the 4x3 at the top leaving the last 4 Mounts per page until you have gone through all pages of Mounts.

So let's say you got 32 mounts (two pages with 16) and the mount you want to use is at position 4,4 (first Mount on the last row on first page) that would mean it has the Number Position 25 (12 first page, 12 second and then 1 when it restarts on last row = 25).

EDIT: Or so I think, atleast the Numbers are the same before and after the patch it seems (for me) can try it out later

while these use almost no memory, it is an unnecessary addon that eats up more memory. my CPU is weak so i try to stay low on addons.
