Thanks you so much Chicken!

It works like a charm.

I would like to create a macro to delete mana emerald and conjure a new one.

The item id is : 22040 but I can't find the syntax to delete the items.

Could anyone help me, please ?

Try Deathwing's maco with a small change:

/targetexact Shadowy Necromancer
/cleartarget [dead]

Hi first post here, been lurking for a while though.

Does anyone have an idea why this isn't spammable?
If I spam it I just shift to cat, prowl and then leave prowl.

/cancelform [stance:1];[stance:2];[stance:4];[stance:5]
/cast [nostance]Cat Form
/cast [stance:3,nostealth]Prowl

At a guess. Although I'm not sure the first line is needed.

It's been five days, so I imagine it's safe to bump this question.

Aranan,
I am still in search of an option like that. Posted my question about 2 weeks ago.
I'm going to try out Dock when I get home to see if I can work something out with that.

Try !Prowl instead of Prowl

I've tried to make a macro that decides what's best to eat and works everywhere (in and out of arena):

/use Conjured Manna Biscuit
/use Star's Tears
/use Telaari Grapes

If I have no conjured food it'll use Star's Tears (mana) and Telaari Grapes (hp) = perfect, I don't mind the waste if I'm at full hp or mana. However - if I have conjured food - it'll use Conjured Manna Biscuit (mana and hp) and then overwrite the mana "buff" with Star's Tears, but ignore Telaari Grapes.

I assume this is because Star's Tears can be used everywhere (also arena) and thus has a higher priority = overwrite.

PS. I don't need links to fancy consumable mods with any and every thing put on 38 nice buttons

I've been working on my macros in 2v2, and I was wondering how I can switch my target and focus with eachother using one button? The target becomes the focus, and the focus becomes the target...rinse and repeat on each button click?

I feel like a lot of time is wasted in pvp trying to switch targets, but this is the one macro that I find myself needed.

I believe this is what you're looking for, cogwheel's post on wow ui forums.

It's possible to swap your target and your focus, giving you in effect two targets you can toggle between:

/cleartarget [target=target, dead]
/clearfocus [target=focus, dead]
/target focus
/cleartarget [target=focus, noexists]
/targetlasttarget
/focus target
/targetlasttarget

The first two lines clear the target and/or focus if they are dead (if you really want to keep track of multiple dead targets, e.g. to resurrect or loot them, then delete those lines). The fourth is needed because /target focus doesn't clear your target if you have no current focus (without it, the fifth line would then retrieve your previous target).

Try:

/target focus
/focus lasttarget

Edit: nevermind, this won't work, go with what Honorix posted above

Hey. In the past I've created macros that use items (usually trinkets) while casting a spell so I dont forget to make use of it. For instance, I have trinkets where the use increases my healing by a few hundred. I then make a macro that uses it when I cast chain heal.

The problem I am now trying to get around is the macro attempting to use the item when its on cooldown which results in the cast/use failure sound as well as a warning message. This is always disconcerting to hear as a healer in battle. How can I prevent my macro from trying to use an item that isn't ready?

You can't implicitly. Macros are by design not able to make decisions based on cooldowns. Explicitly, however, you have two options. A, make the use of the trinket triggered by a modifier, i.e.

/use [modifier:shift] Xiri's Gift
/cast Starfire

The spell will cast every time, trinket only activates if you hold shift. The second option is to add code to your macro that removes the cast failing information from your errors frame, etc. Don't know the code offhand (I don't use it, I don't mind seeing the errors), but I know it's in this thread somewhere.

You can get a mod called ErrorMonster to hide the error text and you can turn off the error sound from the game settings/sound.
