flying mount/ground mount macro?

blanka · 01/23/07, 7:45 PM

is it possible to make a macro that checks your zone and uses the chosen mount accordingly? for example, if in outland = flying mount, if in azeroth = ground mount. i had a macro to use the aq mount inside aq40 but if i was outside of aq40 it'd use a normal mount.

can someone make a simple macro for me to use if possible? i'd appreciate it

Not a macro, but the mod GoGoMount (I got mine from Curse-gaming), has options to set 'preferred' mounts for various zones. It's fairly easy to install and use, and is totally command-line based, no GUI. It's very light, less than 0.25MB of memory load.

Hope this helps.

All-In-One easy use macro!

/dismount
/userandom <your flying mounts>
/userandom <your normal mounts>

or without relying on randomness

/cast [button:2] Land Mount Name; [button:3] AQ Mount Name; Flying Mount Name

Right click the button and you'll get your land mount, mouse button 3 will use your AQ mount, and any other mouse button will grab your flying mount.

You can even mess with cast random if you want, and change the #s to mouse buttons 4 or 5 if you don't like 2 and 3. I use one that when left or right clicked will randomly cast one of my land mounts, mouse 4 does AQ and mouse 5 does flying, but it still follows the same format.

The userandom in Rane's macro doesn't have to do with the selection of land or air mount. Rather if you have more than one of each it will randomly pick one. Like if you have your PvP land mount, your racial land mount and a baron rivendare mount.

Although I thought that in a macro if any command fails the macro bails out at that point. So the /userandom <your normal mounts> will never be reached.

For what its worth GoGoMount seems to automatically pick flying mounts in Outlands and regular mounts in Azeroth, I haven't done any configuration to it and it automatically chose my flying mount when I bought it yesterday.

Now the only problem is that I have mouse button 4 bound to GoGoMount, dismounting accidently on the ground is no problem but do it high up in the air... splat.

/stopcasting
/dismount
/use (Flying Mount)
/use (Ground Mount)

Should be fine, although isn't there a way to suppress error messages during a macro?

I've got my shapeshift/mount commands set up a little bit unorthodox... F1 is bear form, F2 is travel/seal form, F3 is catform, F4 mounts, F5 is flight form. (I don't have a flying mount yet... go ahead and laugh :( )

They are all macroes set up in such a way that, say if I'm in any form other than Flight Form, hitting F5 unshifts/unmounts, and hitting it again activates flight form. Subsequent hits don't deactivate flight form, so it's a spammable button. Would something like this work with flying mounts and GoGoMount command lines?

/use [nomounted] <yourmountname> is the basic idea for a button that mounts you but doesn't dismount. I'm at a loss at how to translate that condition checking into addon use, though.

Edit: Speeling

/use [nomount] Flying Mount
/use [nomount] Ground Mount

druids with no flying mount can use

/cast [nomount, nostance] Flight Form; [stance:1] Bear Form; [stance:2] Cat Form; [stance:3] Aquatic Form; [stance:4] Travel Form
/use [nomount, nocombat] Ground Mount
/cast [nomount, combat] Travel Form

i'm not 100% sure on the stance numbers -> form type (1->Bear etc) but thats the logic.
at a quick glance that looks like a sound spammable key for druids.
(except it will change u out of travel form, if u are in combat and accidentally spam it. next click will put u back in to travel form however)

A little out of topic but no point in making a topic just for this question, is it possible to make a macro that casts Aspect of the viper and then use mount?

/stopcasting
/cast aspect of the viper
/stopcasting
/use [mount]

try that out

Just the thread to ask my question!

I'd really love to have an all-in-one Flight/Travel/Aquatic button similar to the one i have now. All one button (and keybound, so no "if this button" logic)...

Right now I have

/dismount
/cancelaura (big long list of all the forms)
/cast [nostance, swimming] Aquatic Form; [nostance, outdoors] Travel Form

And I'd like to add in after Aquatic

[nostance, nocombat, outdoors] Flight Form

but then I'll never use Travel when I'm not in the outlands and ooc as it fails out on the flight form check.

I haven't had the time to dig through any mods like gogomount to figure out how they do zone checks, and suspect that's beyond mere macros in scope.

How would I pull that off?

Is there a reason you can come up with why they wouldn't want to have a flag [outlands]? Would make this nice and trivial to macro then.

--

Further thoughts... probably want to add a [nocombat] to shifting out of flight form from my other shifting macros. That or leave my parachute cloak equipped at all times.

Completely side note: I'm impressed with how fast terminal velocity really is in WoW. Not, um.. that I've tried flying up to the top of a zone, dropping, and shifting back to crow mid-air. nooo. of course not. I did manage to shift out->rejuv->crow without splatting... once. I think I'll have to pay attention to my pings if I'm pulling stunts like that with gear on.

Ooh... What happens if you shift out/dismount over the twisting nether? Do you just fall to the bottom of the zone and splat? I may have to go play chicken... er... crow... sometime with another insane druid. Guessing it is a case of Spirit rezzing if you die?

Yes, you fall to the bottom and die if you fall off an edge. However, since you have about a 30 yard range on rez and altitude doesn't matter, it is easy to recover.

I assume if you had fallen where you were not close to walkable land (via dismounting from flying), you would have to spirit rez.

Yeah..no need to use mod's for this simple task.

/stopcasting
/dismount
/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()
/use Snowy Gryphon "or whatever flying you have"
/use Swift Green Mechanostrider "or whatever ground you have"
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/script UIErrorsFrame:Show()

There's a new modifier called [flying].
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...73389235&sid=1

I think this should work:

/cast [nomounted,modifier] <Flying Mount>; [nomounted] <Normal Mount>
/stopmacro [flying]
/dismount

CasT · 02/05/07, 11:05 AM

first, all macros post 2.x will not continue if they fail. hence macros such as

/shoot bow
/shoot gun

will not work.

However, Slouken did post recently about some tag called [flyable] but you will not see it until 2.1.0

[e]
oh, poster above got the right link, though wrong tag .. :)

/use [nomodifier] <Flying Mount>
/use [modifier:shift] <Land Mount>

this is the current macro that i use, just enter the name of your land and flying mount in the respected places. Just simply means you have to hold shift to use your land mount from the normal button you use to mount. You can switch around where the flying and land mount go too as i have since i have a tendancy of pressing the wrong button whilst flying over the twisted nether.
