Simple Macro Help

[timoseewho]

Hello, I'm looking to improve on a few of my current macros (interrupt/Misdirection). My current interrupt one is:

#showtooltip Counter Shot
/stopcasting
/stopcasting
/cast [@focus, exists, harm, nodead] Counter Shot; Counter Shot

How do I make it so that it also interrupts the target that I mouseover and prioritizes that over the current target (with focus being the highest priority)?

My Misdirection one is:

#showtooltip Misdirection
/stopcasting
/stopcasting
/cast [@focus, help, nodead] [@pet, exists] Misdirection
/e casts Misdirection on %f.

How do I make it so that it also casts Misdirection on a target that I mouseover and prioritizes that over the focus target? Also, if anyone knows how to make it so my emote actually yells out the target I cast Misdirection on instead of the makeshift focus target, that'd be good too!

Thanks!

#showtooltip Counter Shot
/stopcasting
/stopcasting
/cast [@focus, exists, harm, nodead][@mouseover, exists, harm, nodead][] Counter Shot

Not 100% sure about yelling part atm:

#showtooltip Misdirection
/stopcasting
/stopcasting
/cast [@mouseover, help, nodead][@focus, help, nodead][@pet, exists][] Misdirection
/run SendChatMessage(format("Misdirection on %s",select(1,UnitName("mouseover"))),"YELL",nil,nil);

Thanks I'll give these a shot, pun not intended!

It should function perfectly fine without the exists, harm, nodead stuff but it's not a big deal.

My Misdirection one is:

#showtooltip Misdirection
/stopcasting
/stopcasting
/cast [@focus, help, nodead] [@pet, exists] Misdirection
/e casts Misdirection on %f.

I've never seen a macro written like that with two different targetting arguments next to each other (/cast [@focus, help, nodead] [@pet, exists] Misdirection), but if it works then cool.
For the @mouseover change I would do the same as above, so something like:

/cast [@mouseover, help, exists, nodead] Misdirection; [@focus, help, nodead] Misdirection; [@pet, exists] Misdirection

Not sure how to do the emote thing and have it announce who the MD is cast on. I don't think there's an easy way to do it.

His will work for what you're wanting. Just thought I'd add there are many situations where you wouldn't want to drop your focus but still interrupt your mouseover as a priority. Like, say, you needed to interrupt the mouseover but your pet was already on your focus and you'd interrupt him with intimidation. (one example) The easiest way would be:

#showtooltip Counter Shot
/stopcasting
/stopcasting
/cast [@focus, mod:Shift][@mouseover, exists, nomod][] Counter Shot

It would interrupt with Shift or your modifier of choice, if no mod and you have a mouseover then interrupts it, if only a target and no mod it would interrupt your target.

Anyway, good luck whatever you do!

While I have the macro pro's here, I have a question about my SS/FT macro:

#showtooltip Freezing Trap
/stopcasting
/stopcasting
/castsequence reset=5 [@mouseover] Scatter Shot, Freezing Trap

Before I added the mouseover part of it, it would SS and reset to SS again after 5, but after I added the mouseover, it stopped doing that (wouldn't reset back to SS after 5), any solution?

I got a MD target announce working. The macro system is too simple, there's addons for it but I wanted to figure it out for myself and this is the best way I could find since MD is a bit weird. Here's the weakaura string I came up with.

Here's the meat of it, which I'm kind of proud of considering I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. It's an invisible aura with this as a custom event trigger.

function(event, timestamp, message, hideCaster, sourceGUID, sourceName, sourceFlags, sourceRaidFlags, destGUID, destName, destFlags, destRaidFlags, ...)
    if message == "SPELL_AURA_APPLIED"  then
        
        local spellID, spellName, spellSchool = ...;
        
        if  spellName == "Misdirection"  and sourceGUID == UnitGUID("player") and destGUID ~= UnitGUID("player") then
            SendChatMessage(" casts Misdirection on " ..destName, "EMOTE")          
            return true
        end
    end
end
