taunt macro

[some_noob]

Hey, I'm trying to make one key I can push to taunt. pushing it normally would use hand of reckoning, pushing alt+key would do righteous defense.

Hand of reckoning is simple, but i'm trying to use this righteous defense macro:

#showtooltip Righteous Defense
/cast [target=target,help] Righteous Defense; [target=targettarget,help] Righteous Defense

The macro does this: If i'm targeting a player, it uses righteous defense to taunt the mobs off him. If i'm targeting a mob, it'll target the player it's targeting and use righteous defense.

Problem i'm having is when i make the new macro, and hit alt+key, it doesn't seem to use this macro properly. I tried putting the RD macro on a hotbar, and using:

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt] MultiBarLeftButton9; Hand of Reckoning

But that doesn't seem to work either. Any help getting this working properly would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure why your mod key isn't doing what you want, but Righteous Defence already works like that without a macro (since 2.4, iirc).

You might want to check WoW's combat options, Alt is the default 'self-cast' key, and if it is set to the self-cast key it tends to interfere with macros using it. Likely what WoW is trying to do here is casting Righteous Defense on yourself, which of course wouldn't work.

not that it changes things, but @ means target= so you can just type [@target,help] now. handy for the longer macros
