Ask it! Macro Edition

[Deleted]

Hi,

I am having issues with a macro of mine that I use in arena. I want it to target when I don't use any modifier, focus when I use shift and Silence when I use control.

/target arena1
/focus [mod:shift, @arena1]
/cast [mod:ctrl, @arena1] Silence

This doesn't work because when I use shift + hotkey it also targets arena1.

/target [nomod, @arena1]
/focus [mod:shift, @arena1]
/cast [mod:ctrl, @arena1] Silence

This also doesn't work. It won't target anything. These three macros(arena1, 2 and 3) are bound to 1, 2, 3 on my keyboard.

/tar [nomod:shift/ctrl]arena1
/focus [mod:shift,@arena1]
/cast [mod:ctrl,@arena1]Silence

Should do it. Alternatively, you can try

/focus [mod:shift]arena1

as the second line.

I'm looking for a macro that stops a specific spell.

For instance I need to use healing wave, but im currently casting Lightning bolt (as a resto shaman), so I want my macro to stop the lightning bolt cast and start the healing wave cast.
The usual /stopcasting wont work since I'm gonna mash my buttons and would just keep interrupting my heal as well. The only spell I need stopped is lightning bolt.

I assume a "if casting lightning bolt then stopcasting" would be the solution, but I really don't know if it's possible nor do I know the syntax.

I tried searching the forums and googling it, but couldn't find anyone who solved the problem. I hope someone here can help.

That won't be possible with Lightning Bolt, as it's not a chanelled spell. Best bet is to sidestep if you need to interrupt it manually.

Is it possible to write a cast sequence macro for Hunter aspects? I tried cannibalizing the Inner Fire/Inner Will macro my priest uses but it did the following:

1st click/press - Activate first aspect
2nd - Nothing
3rd - Cancel first aspect
4th - Nothing/non-responsive indefinitely

[lawomous]

Is it possible to write a cast sequence macro for Hunter aspects?

Try this:

#showtooltip
/castsequence !Aspect of the Hawk, !Aspect of the Fox

I'm currently in need of a macro that will toggle buffs on/off for things like Dispersion, Ice Block etc

Right now I'm using 
#showtooltip Dispersion
/cancelaura Dispersion
/cast Dispersion

This works except for things with no CD like Levitate. Just wondering if their's a smarter way to put it

[kombucha]

I keep an Alt modifier on my cancel-dispersion macro so I don't take myself out of it by accident if I press the key twice in rapid succession (which i do a lot in PvP)

[KieraDK]

I do use that on my Mage for Ice Block, but Dispersion is Alt+1
Already got a modifier

Never had that kind of double-modding before, but you could use [mod:ctrl] and have cancel on ctrl+alt+1

Im looking for a macro that marks a target on mouseover... and rotates through all 8 marks. So I click it on 1 thing and its a skull, click on another its an X... so on and so forth, eventually going back to skull...
All help appreciated... kinda dumb in Marco department

Try this:

/run local r,u,t,m,a,T=SMRI,UnitHealth,"target","mouseover",{8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1}if not r or IsShiftKeyDown()then r=1 end if 0~=u(m)then T=m elseif 0~=u(t)then T=t end if T then if GetRaidTargetIndex(T)~=a[r]then SetRaidTarget(T,a[r])end r=r%#a+1 end SMRI=r

To make the macro start back at skull again, you would press it with Shift held down, and check that Shift+whatever button you have this to is a free keybind.

[SargorVirm]

Is there a way to have the macro revolve on itself without a modifyer key? I use clique for all my stuff... so my shift is pretty full

Is there a macro command that would /target something when its alive but not when its dead? What would the command for something like this be? Was told it was not possible.

/tar [nodead] something - but I do not know if /tar can be used with conditionals, actually I don't think so.

Something that would work is "/cast [@something, nodead][] spell" - casts that spell on something only if it's alive, otherwise on your normal target.

[lawomous]

/target accepts conditions but it can't really be used to check that the thing you want to target isn't dead, just if your current target isn't dead; and cast [@something] depending on what it is would have even less chance of working if it doesn't have a UnitID.

But for which mob targetting would you want it for? Maybe there is a special condition

It no work...
I'll just have to not spam the button.

Thanks anyway
