Advanced Macro Guide for Classic WoW. Series; 1/9|DRUID|

KPI · Aug 30, 2019

Hello, This guide focuses on Advanced Class Specific Macros.
*This Guide is for the simplified basic users, who may not know the capability of their class in classic WoW and focuses on turning you into a Rank14 Grand Marshal/High Warlord from a Basic level 10 Boar Slaying Tauren.

After placing the macro you can reference it in other macros with the following:
1|

Code:

/run UseAction(37)

2|

Code:

/run UseAction(37) CastSpellByName("Regrowth(Rank 8)")

*Using Trinkets / Inventory Items
Vanilla doesn’t have support for /use command etc. that exists in retail unless you use an addon for it. To use equipment with right click functionality you need to know the slotID.

This example will use the trinket in your top slot:

Code:

/run UseInventoryItem(13)

The command for using an item in your first bag slot (for example a bandage) on yourself is the following:
UseContainerItem(bagID, slotNumber, UseOnSelf?)

Code:

/run UseContainerItem(1, 1, 1)

Bandage self with Autoselfcasting disabled
This macro works without any addons and you can have the bandage placed anywhere in your bags.

It looks for items with the word “Bandage” in your bags starting in bag 0 so if the macro uses the wrong bandage before the Heavy Runecloth, move Heavy Runecloth into bag 0 (your backpack). Here is a list with bandages it should work with:

It works with autoselfcasting disabled in options.
Auto Self Cast with the interface option disabled

/run TargetUnit("player")function u(n)for b=0,4 do for s=1,GetContainerNumSlots(b)do a=GetContainerItemLink(b,s)if a then if string.find(a,n)then UseContainerItem(b,s,1)return end end end end end u("Bandage")TargetLastTarget()

Buenas tardes, alguien sabría decirme cuál es la macro quitarme un objeto del inventario y dejarlo en mi mochila sin necesidad de equiparme nada a cambio? Muchas gracias!

Good afternoon, would someone know how to tell me what the macro is to take an object from the inventory and leave it in my backpack without having to equip anything in return? Thanks!!

From my understanding no such way exists, most "ON USE" items are required to be equipped to the character before they can use them, some items also have a small "Diminishing returns" before they can be used most being 30 seconds after being applied to the character slot.

*If you find something drop it in the comments and I will add to the post.

This is a terrible guide. The selfcast bandage long ass script
/run TargetUnit("player")function u(n)for b=0,4 do for s=1,GetContainerNumSlots(b)do a=GetContainerItemLink(b,s)if a then if string.find(a,n)then UseContainerItem(b,s,1)return end end end end end u("Bandage")TargetLastTarget()

Can be simplified to
/use [help][@player, help] Heavy Runecloth Bandage

lol

Did you make that script or did Original do it for you?
*Even if I add it to main post, I wanna be sure I give credit where it's due.

I haven't talked to Original in 6+ months.

The only thing I would like a good macro for is to switch to caster form no matter what form you're in, I don't see that in the guide.

[doublepost=1586470540,1586470250][/doublepost]Thanks for these! I'm really trying to learn macros vs just copying and pasting. Since I'm only level 31 I have to trim out dire bear form and mount info from yours but when I execute it from travel form or bear form it only takes me to cat form...it doesn't pop me into stealth. I copied this macro from somewhere a while back and it works...just curious as to what could be the issue and why you use 'cancel aura' vs 'cancel form'...thanks....:
#showtooltip Prowl
/stand
/dismount
/cancelform [noform:3]
/cast [noform:3] Cat Form
/cast !Prowl

[doublepost=1586470892][/doublepost]sorry two more quick questions: 1) is the feral charge macro supposed to be a two click process? I think it has to be but making sure I haven't messed something up 2) I hate to show how nubbish I am but what does your flag reset macro do exactly?

Nope, should work as 1 button press. just make sure it is bound onto a bar that doesn't change when you're in other forms.

Alteraego said:

It is a 1 button flag drop + Stealth, so when you drop flag with macro it also throws you into stealth with the last bit of line. like mentioned above make sure it is bound to an action bar that doesn't change when shape-shifting.

#showtooltip Prowl

No difference, they both work the same just how you write the macros I guess.

Alteraego · Apr 10, 2020

Thanks! I can't get a one button shift to Bear Form then Feral Charge from the macro..I thought I read (and it appears to be true in game) that even with points in Furor there is a small lag between the shift and the rage generation that prevents a one button process. The macro is on the bottom left action bar with my other power shift macros that are working fine.
This is the variation of yours that I'm using...see anything off?
#showtooltip Feral Charge
/cancelaura [stance:2] Aquatic Form; [stance:3] Cat Form; [stance:4] Travel Form
/cast [nostance] Bear Form; [stance:1] Feral Charge

I'm a Rokudan (6th Dan) black belt when it comes to macros, but I haven't really messed with Classic yet. I have the basic shorthand down pretty good and will eventually work with the big brain actual api calls for a helper addon to allow for brainless rotations. I've always hated coding doing mobile games and whatnot, but I really enjoy the minimalism of WoW macros while I put together a site for them at the same time over the past couple weeks.

Keep it up OP. I like that you have a lot of utility stuff. For me, it's all just the meat as I obsess about getting the rotation as simple, efficient, and correct as possible. One day you'll be a 7th Dan, I can tell in the determination. Patience is a virtue my friend...

My progress is slow but steady. Today, I finally figured out how to properly do a Poly macro taking advantage of the focus, lasttarget, and all that other good stuff to keep a mage's damage target up and avoid breaking the sheep automatically. I collected hundreds of boar pelts in the process, so there is definitely a lot of trial and error but man is it rewarding to finally get that 7th Dan level macro under your belt.
