Help with timing macro.

[Barrowwind]

Hello, i want to create a macro for my mage - when it casts time warp. to say a bunch of stuff on timed intervals EG:

Time warp is now in effect
( 4 second delay )
/s <random messge>
(2 second delay )
/s <random message>
(1 second delay )
/s Time warp ended.

Something like this ( will be bigger ) but u get the point. any help will be much appreciated

Can't make such a macro.

Indeed. Blizzard removed these types of options from the Macro API years ago. It's to prevent macros and addons from essentially creating bots.

Unless something has changed recently this CAN be done

/cast spell
/in 10 /say blah blah
/in 15 /say blah blah
/in 40 /say Spell has ended

This has always worked for me in the past, and I have seen similar macros used in recent times. So unless these were mods and something has changed this should work for you.

Get the addon SlashIn and make
/cast Time Warp
/s Time Warp activated!
/in 25 /s 15secs left of TW!
/in 30 /s 10secs left of TW!
/in 35 /s 5secs left of TW!
/in 37 /s 3secs left of TW!

/in 10 /say blah blah
/in 15 /say blah blah
/in 40 /say Spell has ended

I believe it only works with things like /say or /yell but the /in doesn't work with spell casts

It was Ace2 that made that function, not Blizzard Standard UI.

/in 2 /cast XXXX
doesn't work.
/cast XXXX
/in 2 Wohoo!
works.

So there is a mod that allows this then. The OP never requested the in command be used to cast an ability.

And thank-you for your input the /in 5 worked perfectly

The "/in <x> /<command>" setup only works if you have either Ace2 (as part of another addon or standalone), or the addon SlashIn installed.

It can only be used for non-secure actions - emotes, yells, speech, etc - and not for secure actions - casting spells, using items/trinkets, etc.
