Macros: Q/A and Requests

[Jowgen]

That's odd. Make sure that Alt+<button> isn't bound in your keybindings somewhere.



I usually use [mod:alt], to clean up macros by shortening the "modifier" part.

Seems to be working fine now without doing anything to do, thanks anyways.

Do I have one for you!

I want to, Like,

Switch to a 1h sword and shield then use Shield Bash in 1 macro, Is that possible.

So like

Equip Sword

Equip Shield

cast Shield Bash

You kinda just did it yourself.

/equip swordname

/equip shieldname

/cast Shield Bash

That didnt work.

Thats the first thing i tried >.<.

All it does is equip 1 of my items



EDIT:

/equip Redbeard Crest

/equip Shadowfang

/cast Shield bash

*Must have a shield equipped



EDIT2:

/equip Shadowfang

/equip Redbeard Crest

/Cast Shield bash



works.

but you have to click the macro twice

 

[Taitaih]

You must must must equip the 1Hander first before equipping the shield. If you try to equip the shield first while you are holding a 2 handed weapon, it will fail.



So yes the 2nd macro there is correct.

what's the macro command for toggling auto attack on?



cheers.



Edit: Im also going to sticky this thread since its useful to have on the front page i feel.

Could always get Aftercast, and save yourself some trouble.

/cast autoattack

If you check your spellbook, you can see that it is quite literally a spell.



Alternative Situation:

Press "T"

i was under the impression that it would toggle if off if i pressed it twice, which completely undermines the macro im trying to create. If it doesnt, then thanks



Edit: now i think about it, that does make sense, since spamming healing touch wont turn the cast off, so why should it turn off auto attack?

 

[Taitaih]

Use:

/startattack

 

[CIHC]

Is there a way to make a macro whisper something to your target? /w %t (text) does not work.

 

[Kore nametooshort]

I would have thought so. Things like rank watcher probably use it, but i couldnt tell you how.

Alrighty, thanks for the info. I'll look around.



edit - found it, thanks Kore

Just so people can see:

/script if UnitExists("target") then SendChatMessage("[I]YOUR MESSEGE GOES HERE[/I]","WHISPER",nil,UnitName("target") end

 

[CIHC]

Im here again.



Macro to cast abilities on tank's target? :3

 

[Taitaih]

Try something like this :

 #showtooltip

/cast [target=targettarget, exists] [] <ABILITY>

Sorry for the late reply, was driving home from California.

Am I the only person who uses this specific topic to request macros?



Looking for - Macro to do the following in this order



a) interact with target

b) purchase an item from said target

c) close the target's shop

d) go back to a and repeat for all eternity.

All my macros are more or less ready made, but im sure at somepoint i'll discover a need for a new macro that i cant facilitate myself



Anyway, why does point "d" require the shop to be closed? wouldnt it be quicker and simpler to simply go back to "b" rather than "a"? Still, i doubt this kind of macro will work, it looks kinda gliderish to me.

 

[Taitaih]

This is probably to buy a limited item that you need to close the shop for. I don't have a macro off the top of my head for this one, I'll have to do some digging.
