I've been trying to figure out how to create a macro to make target switching more efficient for me on Kil'jaeden and I am at a bit of a loss. What I want to do is make a macro that targets a Shield Orb if there is a Shield Orb within range of my Shadow Bolt (36 yards), but if there is no orb in range I want to keep my current target. This will prevent me from targeting Shield Orbs that have spawned but are across the room from me and out of casting range.

All I have been able to dig up on range modifiers in macros is something from a Rebirth script posted earlier in this thread:
/script local u="target";local un=(UnitName(u));local ir=IsSpellInRange("Rebirth",u)

I am no expert at scripts like this, and I'm not sure if it is possible to modify it for targeting purposes. What I'd like to know is if it is possible to put a "range check" in a targeting macro, and if so how would I go about doing it?

I'm trying to get this macro to work:

#showtooltip
/cast [nostance, nocombat, flyable] Swift Purple Gryphon
/cast [nostance, nocombat, noflyable] Summon Charger
/cast [nocombat, nomounted] !Crusader Aura; [mounted] !Concetration Aura
/dismount

My goal here is to have one key for my mounts. Flying in BC, Charger in Pre-BC while having Crusader aura up when I mount and Concentration aura when I dismount.

3 problems here:
a) it doesn't summon the charger pre-bc
b) triggers GDC
c) doesn't cast Conc aura as I dismount.

Any of you, bigger brains out there, can help me out achieve the intended result?

Another request (yes, I am quite new at macros.. don't know how I played without them, to be frank)

/cast Divine Favor
/cast [target=target, nodead, harm] Holy Shock
/cast [target=mouseover, noexist, help] Holy Shock
/stopcasting
/cast [target=target,exist,nodead,harm] Consecration

The goal is to cast a critical Holy shock at a friendly traget in need or an opponent in combat..

Doesn't seem to work.

Any thoughts?

You've spelt concentration aura wrong.

You don't need the flyable / noflyable in the macro unless you're explicitly trying to stop it from printing errors on the screen.

Try:

/use Swift purple Gryphon
/cast Summon Charger

And see if that doesn't sort out your problems.

You can use that macro with a littlie exception, that you can't use paladin summon spell for it to work due to GCD.

/cast [nocombat, nomounted] !Crusader Aura; [mounted] !Concentration Aura;
/cast [flyable, nocombat, nomounted] Swift Purple Windrider; [nocombat, nomounted] Blue Hawkstrider;
/dismount

Hi,

I am trying to put together a macro that will first cast Power Word Shield then do a Mass Dispel.

This is to counter the knock back effect from damage ticks, while trying to Mass Dispell on Felmyst.

This is where I'm at, at the moment.

#showtooltip Mass Dispel
/stopcasting 
/castsequence Power Word: Shield(Rank 12), Mass Dispel

As it is, it will PWS, then on second press it will give me the targeting circle for the MD.
Where it fails is, it will not reset if unless I cast the dispel.
And it will also hang until PWS debuff comes off CD, unable to cast MD. Which could leaving me without the ability to dispel my group.
To counter this, I would like to use a Shift Modifier, so if I hold Shift and press the key bind, it will override the PWS and let me do a Mass Dispel. Basicly, no matter what, hold shit and I can cast Mass Dispel.

I've messed about a few times with macro & modifiers, but am having no joy getting it to work.

Anyone have a similar macro that works, or can fill in the blanks to get this one working as intended?

Thanks.

Holy Shock and Consecration both use the GCD, so you can't cast both within the same macro.

Try this instead:

/cast Divine Favor
/cast [target=target, nodead, harm] Holy Shock; [target=mouseover, noexist, help] Holy Shock

This will cast a critical Holy Shock against a living enemy if you have one targeted, or a moused-over living friendly if you do not have a living enemy targeted.

[...]

Try something like this:

[code]
#showtooltip Mass Dispel
/stopcasting
/castsequence reset=4 Power Word: Shield, Mass Dispel, Mass Dispel, Mass Dispel

Kwis · 08/12/08, 12:38 PM

Thanks for the reply, I have made one I like now that seems to do exactly what I'm after.

If I Hold a modifier key down and use it I get the Dispel no matter what.

If I just press the macro once I get PWS, second press I get MD.

#showtooltip Mass Dispel
/stopcasting
/castsequence [nomodifier] Power Word: Shield(Rank 12), !Mass Dispel
/cast [modifier] !Mass Dispel

I've another one

I'm trying to get a macro done to swap weapons.

The swapping's fine, but I would like the Icon to show the equipped weapon. Is that possible?

Is this the show line?

/run local f=GetMouseFocus(); if f then DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(f:GetName()) end

Marieth · 08/19/08, 2:54 AM

No, that will give you the name of the frame your mouse is currently hovering over.

Just select the question mark icon when you name your macro and choose a symbol. It will automatically show the current equipped weapon.

I think that will show the weapon which the macro would switch to if pressed.

I use this, which works perfectly:

#show Attack

You are of course right. My mistake.

So? /equip [myOMGwpeaon1]; [MyOMGweapon2], #show Attack?
