Help with missdirect macro

[centrius]

Anyone know how to fix this macro? Now when i use it and i dont have focus, my character just /s “missdirect on %f” and target pets.

Can i add a line to make a if() no focus, hide /s when i target pet?

#showtooltip Misdirection
/cast [target=focus,help][help][target=pet,exists,nodead] Misdirection
/s Missdirect on %f

/run if GetSpellCooldown(35079)==0 then SendChatMessage("MD => "..UnitName("focus")..".", IsInGroup(2) and "INSTANCE_CHAT" or IsInRaid() and "RAID" or IsInGroup() and "PARTY")end
/cast [@focus,help][help][@pet,exists] Misdirection


Works in groups/raids/instances, it will only announce in chat if you got a focus target. If you have no focus target, MD will still go off to your pet but without the announce,

Thx! Got this one to work:

#showtooltip Misdirection
/cast [target=focus,help][help][target=pet,exists,nodead] Misdirection
/script if(UnitExists(“focus”)) then SendChatMessage(“Misdirect on %f”);print(“Show LUA Errors: Off”);end

Is there a way to make me able to cast Misdirect on someone not in my group/raid? Or is [help] the thing that makes it only work in group? I also noticed that i couldnt Misdirect someone on a mount? Is that new?

It's to prevent people to put aggro on a mounted player which makes kiting hell of a lot easier.

[help] is just as enemy/friend check, since you can focus target enemys too but not MD them. I dislike /s macros because of the bubble chat above my character, I preffer chat announce in the P/R/I channels.

If you don't check for spellcooldown and you spam the key, you get a lot of chat spam.
If the macro-256-limit would not exist, I would preffer this one:

/run if IsSpellInRange(GetSpellInfo(35079),target)==1 and GetSpellCooldown(35079)==0 then SendChatMessage("MD => "..UnitName("target")..".", IsInGroup(2) and "INSTANCE_CHAT" or IsInRaid() and "RAID" or IsInGroup() and "PARTY")end
/cast [@focus,help][help][@pet,exists] Misdirection

because it checks for Spell in range and Spell cooldown, so you don't spam the macro when you cant target/use the spell at all. Useless chat spam is the worst thing I can imagine.
