Ask it! Macro Edition

[Taryble]

Why not make it a 2-button macro - cast on left-click, turn off on right-click?

#showtooltip
/stopcasting [btn:2]
/cast [btn:1]Hellfire

[lawomous]

/stopcasting doesn't stop casting Hellfire. It's a funny little macro.

/stopcasting never stopped channeling spells.
Feel SPriests' pain trying to create a always-cast-massdispel-no-matter what macro for Mu'ru.

[Taryble]

I never got to Mu'ru as a raiding SPriest. Maybe there's a /stopchannelling command? But I doubt it. Might have to test this later on my priest.

[ComputerNerd]

There are nochanneling, and channeling conditions but I had no such luck in trying to cancel the cast within the same macro.

#showtooltip Mind Flay
/cast [nochanneling:Mind Flay] Mind Flay ;

this is a macro used by shadowpriests to make sure they don't cast MF when they are already channeling it.

but i don't think there is a macro command to stop channeling, at least not if /stopcasting does not work. according to http://www.wowwiki.com/Macro_API#Combat_Commands, stopcasting also works for channeled spells.

It doesn't.

The Eye of Kilrogg workaround works just fine, unless they create some new macro API in Cata.

I have a macro problem.
I want to cast haunt on my focus target while I am using other spells on another mob.
I tried using:
#showtooltip Haunt
/cast [nomod] Haunt
/cast [mod:Shift, target=focus] Haunt

but it wont work. Does anyone have an idea what i am doing wrong?

thx

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift,@focus][]Haunt

I have a few simple/quick questions...

1) Is there anyway to macro jump?

2) Can you macro /target raid icon in any way?

3) For a feral druid, I'd like to put a macro for both charges in 1 that shifts depending on cat/bear form. My current implementation is

#showtooltip
/cast Feral Charge - Bear
/cast Feral Charge - Cat


It works, but I'd like it to swap icons on form if it all possible.


Thanks in advance for any help.

1) No.
2) No.
3)

#showtooltip
/cast [stance:3]Feral Charge - Cat; Feral Charge - Bear

[JackalopeSpam]

Thanks, had a feeling with the first 2...

Also, just noticed a minor typo, you have fear charge instead of feral.

This is my super awesome Feral Charge Macro. Also Prowls in kitty.

So after using the following macro in a raid tonight, I was wondering if it could be expanded upon by adding a random factor to perhaps randomly throw them at party/raid members. As is now, it's simple and great for one person's annoyance.

/use [@focus] Heavy Leather Ball

Hm try this.

/targetraid
/use Heavy Leather Ball
/targetlasttarget

[JackalopeSpam]

Would this be vailid...

/use [@targetraid] Heavy Leather Ball

The issue I have is that it could cause problems with auto attacking while in a boss fight. Unless I'm completely wrong and your version wouldn't reset the swing timer on each use. I'm also thinking paper airplanes would be an improvement for my childish pranks.

[lawomous]

No that macro will be looking for a person named Targetraid and fail. The one I put should be nearly instantaneous and shouldn't interrupt any autoattacking, but if you're that concerned, maybe don't throw balls in a boss fight.

[Deleted]

Nope, sadly. /targetraid just targets one nearby raid member.

Hello!
I play a priest and I am in need of a few macros, it might be an addon and if so I would much appreciate if you could give me a hint to what addon it might be but this is what I need it to do:

I want the macro to cast dispersion and then do the following: if in party it should say it in /p and if in raid it should say it in /raid "Casting [dispersion] duration 6 Seconds" and after 5 seconds say "[Dispersion] ended!" well not just saying it but actualy linking the spell, I plan on using this for Mind Control and others aswell and is there a way for a macro to announce when interupted or do I need an addon for that?


This macro is the one I have been trying to modify but all I managed is getting DC from the server, I even tried with Divine Hymn, Renew and others but all I got was DC, strange thing is that the macro works just fine but when I change spell I get DC

/run SendChatMessage("\124cff71d5ff\124Hspell:34477\124h[Misdirection]\124h\124r on "..UnitName("target"),"PARTY")
