Mouse over syntax questions

[Pizza]

I guess I would argue the opposite since not having to click your target seems to speed up target switching.



Please explain how it would slow you down?

Tab switches over to your target immediately, while mouse over you have to move your mouse over the target.

Wow, your really bad at this, i dont even know where to start.



1) the point of using macro's is that they can take different AND multiple conditions.

same thing i said. macros are made to be used with conditions, not just a simple /cast frostbolt

2) It saves so much space on your UI and saves you multiple keybinds (providing of course your not clicking your billion buttons) to have multiple spells/conditions on one key.

Again ignoring my previous post which says exactly what you just did.

3) If your not using macro's properly and are just having 1 conditional per macro per ability your doing yourself a massive disservice and putting yourself at a massive handicap. Why bother even having a key that 50% of the time does nothing? when you could have a key that 50% of the time does one thing and 50% of the time does something else?

wow, you just answered 3 times in a row the very same thing. talk about waste of time !

4) "why put it in macro if you want it to be the same as when you just click the ability." Your not, your ADDING OTHER CONDITIONS/ABILITIES to that original/unmodified ability, not adding the original/unmodified ability to a set of other conditions.

but you are if your macro does 50% of the time the very same thing as your regular ability.

5) Your quite clearly doing it wrong, the reason the people who know macro;s are now here is because you are giving stupid, useless, and incorrect advice and information.

so you're saying that in order to have the people help him, was to actually give false information first ?

glad to have grabco ! 8)



and by the way... everything i said, you guys have said the exact same thing.

you guys haven't said anything different at the exception of the @ which i had just forgotten about, because it was quite new.



now go ahead proove me wrong again, but you wont be able to... for up to this point you've been saying exactly what i was saying at first !







PIZZA: i think both methods are as usefull as they can be. i dont think a few nano second will ever do any difference in this world.

Perhaps you should read over your last posts where 90% of what you said was wrong. Ill help you out a bit:

any [] beyond the first is useless and can only bug the macros even more.

wrong.

/cast [target=mouseover] Frostbolt

and

/cast [target=mouseover] [] Frostbolt



is the same

wrong.

let me put it this way...



if target = mouseover then

---- if nothing then

-------- /cast frostbolt

---- end if

---- /cast frostbolt

end if





or





if target = mouseover then

---- /cast frostbolt

end if





to you which one is better, the shortest one or the longer one that ends up the very same ?

the shortest one has faster processing power, thus is way better engine wise.

wrong. "If nothing" is invalid because [] IS NOT "if nothing".

back then, during the first times of WOW, the conditionnal were statics, and thus the empty [] were pretty much helping the engine, but now it has been optimised and those empty brackets are just adding task to your processing unit and will simply give it more chance at bugging in.

wrong.

howtooltip doesn'T show the icon. while #show does and thus also shows you the CD of the same spell.

wrong.

best macro type... put both of them... all info gets there.

#show

#showtooltip

/cast frostbolt

utterly wrong, i mean even rainman knows you dont need both.

if you wish to start to cast everytimes without condition, its at your leasure, but usually when you do a macro, thats because you want it to start with conditions, not just everytimes you push the macro

wrong. People make macro's so they can do both(all3/4/5 whatever amount they can fit into it) without having to have hundreds of icons, apparantly you prefer to have 1 macro for every ability with A condition, plus another button for the original ability which is just stupid.



Seriously, what aren't you understanding here. It doesnt matter if 50% of the time it does normal frostbolt, the point of the macro is that when required it doesn't do a regular frostbolt, doing a regular frostbolt otherwise is just icing on the cake.

so you're saying that in order to have the people help him, was to actually give false information first ?

yes, we had to come and help to make sure he didnt follow any of your dumbass suggestions and actually did it properly.

and by the way... everything i said, you guys have said the exact same thing.

no, we have said pretty much exactly the opposite all the way through the thread.

glad to have helped, and i suggest you do read tutorials about macros, because they all say that [] alone is an very old way to do things. i think you should reread a bit. but whatever, i never used [] and it always worked right for me. feel free to macro your own ways. wont change how it works anyway.



and yes, adding [] means no conditions. thus nothing !
