Buying Macro Help

[jshidaka]

Hi, Im looking to make a macro to link this item.

/script print('Shift click to link:', '\124cffb048f8\124Hitem:71359\124h[Chelley\'s Sterilized Scalpel]\124h\124r')

is there a way to say it on chat. tried to change "Print" to DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage but didnt work.. any help please?

thanks in advance

use that script ingame, then shift click the link it produces into your chat window?

edit: i've not checked this, but a quick google reveals a possible answer too: http://www.mmowned.com/forums/world-...tem-macro.html

/run SendChatMessage("there can be text before \124cffb048f8\124Hitem:71359\124h[Chelley\'s Sterilized Scalpel]\124h\124r and after the link", "SAY")

Change "SAY" to "CHANNEL", nil, 2 for trade chat.

Not sure if it has anything to do with this macro but I saw undocumented change to the way of quality is handled in patch 4.2. You can loot at few first comments in XLoot. Maybe it is somehow related, but i'm not that good at wow api to figure it out by myself

Might be related if they changed the link structure of item links.

They changed GetItemQualityColor() - it used to return "|caarrggbb", now it just returns "aarrggbb", which means without minor modifications (re-adding the "|c") it can't be used to color item names. I ran into this with Tekkub's GoblinVendorShrinker. :-)

I'm not really sure if this always was like this, or only just since patch 4.2, but apparently we have to include the full "item string"

/run SendChatMessage("\124cffa335ee\124Hitem:71359\124h[Chelley's Sterilized Scalpel]\124h\124r") -- doesn't work
/run SendChatMessage("\124cffa335ee\124Hitem:71359:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0\124h[Chelley's Sterilized Scalpel]\124h\124r") -- works

On a different note, I've also been wondering why the following example doesn't work

/run SendChatMessage(select(2, GetItemInfo(71359))) -- doesn't work
/run SendChatMessage((select(2, GetItemInfo(71359)))) -- works; with parentheses/capture
