Rerolled

Has anyone else ever had their mouseover macros occasionally stop working with Grid? Occasionally my macros will refuse to cast heals on my grid mouseover target and instead cast on myself. It seems to happen most often on the Solarian fight. The problem seems to disappear after a minute or so, but it's annoying to say the least when it happens.

Does anyone know why your standard NS+Heal macros require two button presses when moving?

 

Akomos

Always done that, Hippocrates. I suspect that it's because your client sees you moving but without the NS buff when it tries to cast HW/HT due to the way it processes macros. Does it work if you use a /stopcasting in between the /cast lines? I dunno, I always mash my NS macro anyway.

What's the code you're using in the macro? I use target=mouseover in all of my macro's and haven't had any problem.

Hi guys!
Today i tried to create a Macro which i could spam while healing as a Heal-Priest... Since I am deep-holy i like to spam Greater Heal Rank 1 while MT-Healing... So I'd like to cast a Greater Heal Rank 7 whenever I enter a clearcasting state... So my Macro looks like this:


But it won't work I spoke with some friends who also like to play with macros, but we have no idead how to fix it.
Can you help me?

Thanks!!!

You're going to need a time machine. What you're trying to do was deprecated in late November, 2006.

As it stands now, you're going to have to decide for yourself if you've got clearcasting:

#showtooltip Greater Heal
/cast [modifier:shift] Greater Heal, [nomodifier] Greater Heal(rank 1)

Hold shift if you want the max rank. Enjoy your new decision-making responsibilities!

Damn it... Thanks anyways ^^
Would had been the wtf-imba-macro, but whatever ^^

I´d like to have a makro which will set a focus on the current target by clicking it and will clear the focus by rightclicking - trying to alter some macros which will cast different spells while pressing given modifiers didn´t work at all, unfortunately ./clearfocus doesn´t count as spell and "rightclick" doesn´t seem to be a viable modifier, which was a kind of drawback

Any help (but especially the kind which won´t make me look completely clueless) with this would be greatly appreciated.

 

wyldbill

Are you trying to accomplish something else in addition to what's posted in your comment? Using /focus will also clear your focus if your target doesn't exist. Also, if you're not also casting a spell in here, what it looks like is that you want to always clear focus with this button AND, if targeting, set a new focus. So:

/clearfocus
/focus target

Any reason not to do that all with 1 button? If there is, I suppose this may work:

/clearfocus [button:2]
/focus [button:1]

But I see that second macro as redundant and unnecessary; the first macro will be faster to process with no conditionals and achieves the same final result.

 

Santhe

Yes, there is a reason... I want to have the focus cleared, even when targetting something and not setting the focus to the current target. OR hitting escape before clicking the macro to clear the focus.

But the 2nd macro works perfectly - thanks for the advice.

Hi folks,
I have a macro question. I'm looking for a macro that will /focus my current target (I know this part already lol), cast polymorph (pig) and then set it to a raid icon, such as star or moon, mostly for Shadowy Necromancer trash in MH and loot of Akama. Thanks.

I've seen a few posts here to the effect that using /click PetActionButton# is superior to /cast because it doesn't interfere with normal casting. So I thought I'd give it a try.

However, this seems to only work on my target, not my focus. When I try this w/o a target, I get a no target error. In both cases I do have a focus set.

Am I missing something?

 

wyldbill

I would say that this is happening because pet has no target and the target of your /click is not the standard usage. For example, I could use this:

/cast [pet:wind serpent][target=focus] Lightning Breath

But you're saying that you prefer:

/click [pet:succubus][target=focus] PetActionButton6

If the only difference is the command /click versus /cast, you may have to settle for /cast.

Macro/Mod interaction issue:

On my druid:
I use a side mouse button to page to action bar 4. I then hit a macro which shifts me into X feral form and pages me to action bar 1.

/cancelform
/cast Cat Form
/changeactionbar 1

Great! At this point, Bongos2 autoswaps actionbar 1 to actionbar 9 which is my bar with my cat form abilities on it. Works perfectly.

The issue:
My Warrior alt.

Same setup: Mouse button 4 pages me to Action Bar 4. I then hit a macro to switch me into defensive stance and swap to bar 1.

/cast Defensive Stance
/changeactionbar 1

I have my bongos2 set up to then switch action bar 1 to action bar 8, which has my defensive stance abilities on it.

Unfortunatly, I never leave action bar 4. I get swapped into defensive stance, but the action bar never pages. I've checked and double checked my spelling and my Bongos2 settings, even to the point of cut/pasting them from my druid.

What am I missing!

I've been playing around with a macro for mounting and flying but for some reason it go's wrong somewhere.

/cancelform
/use [nomounted, noflyable] Great White Kodo;
/cast [nomounted, flyable, nostance] Flight Form;
/dismount

The mount works fine but for some reason it keeps casting flightform while in outlands even tho it only shoul do so while i'm in caster form.

 

diospadre

Why are you writing a macro for this? Bongos does page swapping on stance change.

 

Ajuga

In the first line you /cancelform leaving you in [nostance], right? That leaves all the conditions for /cast Flight Form true (as far as I can see, but I'm not a druid).

 

Ragnor

Try something like this..

/stopmacro [indoors, stance]
/use Great White Kodo
/stopmacro [flyable]
/cast Flight Form

Can't test since I'm at work but it should do nothing if you're indoors and in a form, else cast your mount, else if you're in outlands cast flight form overrides the mount use.

Because I page my a bar which has my stance macros on it so that their keybindings stay the same:

Example:
In Def Stance "1" is Sunder "2" is Shield block (etc)
In Bat Stance "1" is Charge "2" is Mortal Strike (etc)
In my Stance Swap Bar "1" is Battle Stance "2" Def Stance (etc)

So... To stancedance a fear for instance.

Side Mouse button > hit "3" to swap stances to Zerker Stance (bar auto pages) > hit "1" for Zerker Rage> Side Mouse Button (back to my Stance Swap Bar) > Hit "2" for Def Stance (bar auto pages)

Again, the issue is that my macro to autopage the bar isnt working.

/changeactionbar

command seems to be not working for just that one character.

/focus [target=focus,noexists]; [target=focus,dead]
/target focus
/cast Shackle Undead
/script SetRaidTarget("Target",5);
/targetlasttarget

This does everything but your dishes.

If you have no focus or your focused target is dead, makes current target the focus. (If your focus is still living, does nothing)
Targets focus
Casts CC
Marks CC target with a moon (my assigned sheep/shackle- you'll have to test to find a different one, sorry)
Targets last target.

Set your focus (either by targeting and casting or by a separate keybind) and tap the macro to reapply sheep or shackle with a moon- without leaving your DPS or healing target.

Thanks, I found my Word Document that had the numbers of the other raid markings.

ive currently started farming for my epic flying mount as an herbalist and being a druid that likes to respec randomly and always have my gear with me i need a macro that will swap my 20 slot gear bags for empty 18slots and a 24slot herb bag in my bank.

does anyone have an idea how to do this, ive got the 3 20slots in the 3 slots farthest from my backpack, and the 3 bank bags are the three farthest to the right.

I have an issue with a macro used by our healers on Solarian.:

The issue is that the "focustarget" is not refreshed quickly enough... What happens is:

1. Solarian channel "Arcane Missiles" on Player1
2. Healer cast macro => heal lands on Player 1
3. Solarian switches target to Player 2
4. Solarian channel "Arcane Missiles" on Player2
5. Healer cast macro =>heal lands on Player 1
6. Healer cast macro => heal lands on Player 2

So it seems that the "focustarget" unitID is not refreshed each time the macro is cast. Does anyone has the same type of issue? Know how to fix it?

 

BOHIC

There are a multitude of ways you can do healing macros for this fight. Here's one off the top of my head:
If your healers have smart macros set up for target-of-target healing, they shouldn't even need anything special for this fight.

 

Aldor-Eitrigg

Well, the whole point of the macro was to use a Focus on Solarian. Of course there are tons of variation of macros for healing on Solarian. But the question was not "how to make a macro for healing on Solarian", but on the issue of the focustarget not refreshing fast enough. Does anyone has the same type of issue? Know how to fix it?
