D: Ran out of time. Will finish when I'm back!
Hello everyone.
| I just saw a nice macro thread in the 19s section and feel it might great to have something like this for each bracket. While there's a very good Sticky in General, I thought it might be nice to have an F2P / restricted level 20 only macro index. I'll go ahead and just post a first small selection of my macros to gauge interest and possibly hugely expand this in the next few days. Before Bartender I used modifiers more, but now I just use the mod keys to switch bars to access other macro slots. ^^ Will add a section for modifiers later. |

Handy site for testing out macros you're writing!
Best thing you can do is immediately try out any ideas you get while reading this thread and learn by experimenting!

Alright, the following is mostly just notes on what to include later, ignore it while it's not finished. >_>
Basic Macro Writing
/this is a command.
This is a key on your keyboard. (Default binds, if you changed it you probably know it.)
This is something you can click on in game.
This is the name of something.
This is a limit.
This is not the droid you're looking for.
This is Sparta!
What is a macro?
A macro is a saved text command for something ranging from simple to really specific. You create and save that command in the interface provided by the game. You can drag the symbol for a macro to your action bars and then execute the text command by pressing the keybind or clicking the symbol.
Where do I create macros?
Type /m into your chat and hit enter. (Or hit your Escape key and click on the tab Macros. Or click on Game Menu and then click on the tab Macros if you want to click a lot.)
Macro anatomy
If you just type text into the editor, using the macro will post the contents to chat, in whichever channel you may be using at that time.
The text commands begin with a / followed by the command and potentially additional information. Examples:
/laugh will let your character emote "You laugh." - needs no added info.
/use will let your character use something, but you have to tell the game what you want to use. Example:
/use Healing Potion
Nowadays you can use /use interchangeably with /cast - the command for casting spells. This saves you one letter, which can be beneficial if you ever want to create a very complicated macro. Macros have a maximal length of 255 characters.
Adding the name of something to a macro is easy.
You can type the exact name or add it by holding Shift and clicking on the in-game symbol, e.g. on the consumable item in your bags, a spell in your spell-book, or a mount. If you have the macro editor open and are editing something, the shift-click will automatically paste the name into the editor.
If you have already typed /use it will add only the name - if your macro line is empty, it will automatically add the /cast command for you.
On macro lines: Each line you separate by hitting Enter is a separate command.
Button settings
You name your macro and select an icon for it. You can choose the icon for your macro from a large selection of WoW ability and item icons. If you use the question mark, the icon representing the first spell or item in your macro will be automatically chosen.
#show
If you want to customize the icon and save time browsing, you can use the #show command:
#show Healing Potion
#showtooltip
If you mouseover a macro the tooltip will by default just show you the macro name. If you want to use a spell or consumable you will possibly want to be able to read the tooltip. Begin your macro with:
#showtooltip
Conditionals
modifiers
qualifiers
/castsequence
reset modifiers
!
mouseovers
targeting
@ = target=
@target, @focus, @player, @name, @arena1,2,3
/cancelaura
/equip
slots
scripts
To be continued
