Don't know why you would macro something that the game does already by itself. I think by default it's shift+click to target self and there should be an option somewhere to change it to whatever key you prefer.
Default is alt and if you want to change it, go to Interface -> Combat and it's a dropdown box on the bottom right.

Re: Macro Sticky
Anyone know why this macro does not work?
But this one does:
Where playername is the character name of an arena partner.
Thanks for any debugging!
- Code: Select all
#showtooltip
/cast [@player,nomod] Word of Glory
/cast [target=playername,mod:ctrl] Word of Glory
But this one does:
- Code: Select all
#showtooltip
/cast [nomod] Flash of Light
/cast [target=playername,mod:ctrl] Flash of Light

Re: Macro Sticky
Which part of the macro isn't working? Casting on your arena partner or self/player target casting?

The second part - trying to cast on my partner by holding down control.
It does not matter now though - sadly, our arena team broke up. A ret (me) and a holy paladin just seemed a bad combo. Or maybe I was just bad. Spent most of the fights CCd to hell or laying out pitiful dps when my CDs were blown. [I may be bitter but I am not sad, chasing druids around pillars is not the most fun thing you can do in Warcraft.]

Re: Macro Sticky
Only thing I could have suggested then would be to make sure you were spelling the player name correctly, or maybe remove the @player (as that might have been causing some weird interaction on your WoG macro that wasn't apparent with the FoL macro.)

Re: Macro Sticky
Here's a macro that holds our 3 level 90 talents. You have to hit it once to set the tooltip to the right spell but it will always cast the talent you choose.
Put it in a macro named "Talent 90". (or if you want to use another name you'll have to change it in the last line of the macro too)

/use Holy Prism
/use Light's Hammer
/use Execution Sentence
/script mp=GetSpellInfo(114165); mh=GetSpellInfo(114158); me=GetSpellInfo(114157)
/run SetMacroSpell("Talent 90", GetSpellInfo(mp) or GetSpellInfo(mh) or GetSpellInfo(me))

Re: Macro Sticky
I've found a macro for placing world markers (unfortunately I'm on the phone atm so can't post it).
What I'm really looking for is a macro that will allow me to drop several world markers one after another, either by using modifiers or by cycling through them. Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Macro Sticky
The macro to let you place one marker is this:
If you could set up a variable that you increment from 1-5 and append that to DropDownList1Button and /click that, you could do it. I know you can set up a string with that value in LUA, but I don't know if you can combine /click and LUA commands.

/click CompactRaidFrameManagerDisplayFrameLeaderOptionsRaidWorldMarkerButton
/click DropDownList1Button5

Re: Macro Sticky
Hi all,
As a newcomer I would like to say thanks to the community in regards to all things Pally tanking. It has made my life a lot simpler when coming to raiding MoP.
I have recently been playing around with my spec and the way I play things and was hoping to see what the community thinks of this macro I've been using.
#showtooltip Shield of the Righteous
/cast Holy Avenger
/cast Shield of the Righteous
/cast Word of Glory
/cast Sacred Shield
/cast Divine Protection (optional)
I'm a haste tank so I find with the 2 set bonus I always have up a 75% block chance as I'm able to refresh on WoG every 10 secs (ie., I have 5 holy power). Plus refreshing sacred shield as far as I know isn't a bad thing. I use Divine protection because of 4 set bonus.. but I understand if people would want to use that as a oh Sh*t button.
If anyone has any questions or comments I would love to hear them. Especially if you are able to tweak this even further.

Re: Macro Sticky
What's the whole point of that macro? SotR is off the GCD and something you should be hitting some a frequent regularity. Holy Avenger is something you can use either offensively or defensively. WoG is another OHSHI button, Sacred Shield should be used somewhat regular depending on vengeance levels, and DProt should be used for certain moments depending on the fight.
I just don't understand why you'd want to put all of those abilities into one macro (and AFAIK that macro won't work if one of them won't go off). It's not like we have THAT many buttons to press, we're not Warriors!

Re: Macro Sticky
So with modifier macros with an ability, is there any way to make the tooltip adjust to the other ability?
For example:
#showtooltip
/start attack
/cast [nomod] Crusader Strike; [mod:shift] Hammer of the Righteous
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear ()
When I push shift, is there a way to change the icon to show HotR?
For example:
#showtooltip
/start attack
/cast [nomod] Crusader Strike; [mod:shift] Hammer of the Righteous
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear ()

Re: Macro Sticky
It doesn't update on its own? I would have thought it would.
In any case, you can do all macro conditionals in #showtooltip:
Also note that /startattack doesn't have a space.

Re: Macro Sticky
Start attack with a space has always worked for me.
And the #showtooltip mod:shift isn't working.

Re: Macro Sticky
#showtooltip on its own should dynamically adjust. It only doesn't if you put in what spell you show the tooltip of.
...Did you select an icon from the macros menu rather than using the "?" icon?
Also, doesn't using or attempting to use CS or HotR start autoattack on its own? Think that's the case for every melee special in game.

Re: Macro Sticky
I used the "?" icon cause it always adjusted it with the #showtooltip syntax. However, even remaking the macro with an icon doesn't dynamically change it.

Re: Macro Sticky
Ah..got it...
while the space in /start attack will work to cast an ability, it will not allow for dynamically changing of icons as a /startattack will.

Re: Macro Sticky
I got a question.
I tried
as well as:
which basically should do the same.
give me button to flawlessly put on and off RF as needed.
problem: I can't use the macro during a GCD. even tho cancelaura as well as cast RF should not be on the GCD....
a friend of mine tested it as well and nope. does not work.
now this really bugs me because on HMs you sometimes just CAN'T wait for the GCD to end to cancel/turn on RF.
I want to flawlessly play my rotation and cancel/cast at the same time.
I tried
- Code: Select all
/cast Righteous Fury
/cancelaura Righteous Fury
as well as:
- Code: Select all
/cancelaura Righteous Fury

Re: Macro Sticky
I believe RF can't be applied during a GCD but it doesn't cause a GCD of its own, so when you want to turn RF on you'll have to hit that macro just before using your next ability then you should only waste a fraction of a second.
Last tier I used that macro but like you found it somewhat frustrating as you can't spam it.
I've now switched to having a dedicated cancel aura bind and RF macro'd in with taunt.
That's working ok though having a shift mod macro that cancels RF when pressed with shift and turns RF on when pressed without a mod might be better.

Re: Macro Sticky
This is the macro command for the new "summon random favorite mount" button. If for whatever reason you want to include it in a macro.
I'm not sure how useful it is, being a script and not a regular macro command. It doesn't quite play well with instant cast spells.
