Macro help needed :)

Post by Demonheart »

For Roar of Sacrifice, I want a macro that casts it on me by default, but it also needs to have an on-modifier command so I can press, say, CTRL when I'm targeting another member of my party and I wish to cast it on them.
/cast [mod:ctrl,raid] Roar of Sacrifice; [target=player] Roar of Sacrifice
For Scatter Shot I would like to make one that, much like my Raptor Stike Macro, casts Scatter Shot on my nearest target if I'm not targeting anyone. However, if I have someone targeted, then it would just use the spell on them. Would that need a separate on-modifier command to work? Additionally, Scatter Shot's range is 20 yards, so if you were to use the Raptor Strike macro to build from, would "NearestDistance" have to be changed?
/cast [harm] Scatter Shot
/stopmacro [harm]
/console targetNearestDistance 20.000000
/cleartarget
/targetenemy
/cast [harm] Scatter Shot
/targetlasttarget

For Wyvern Sting I need to be able to cast it on my focus target, which is basic stuff. But how do I make it so it doesn't say "no target" if I don't have anyone focused? It currently prevents me from using it if I have no one on focus. Now that I think of it, on-modifier is probably the way to here, too.
Not quite sure what you want here. What happens if you don't have no target?

/cast [target=focus,harm] Wyvern Sting; Wyvern Sting

That will cast it as normal if your focus isn't a player/mob you can harm.

Master's Call, same thing!!
Previously I have always had a macro that says /cast [target=Hoffmeister] Master's Call.

However upon having a conversation with smoo the other day, Apparently if you have the default spell on your action bar, plus an enemy targeted, and click master's call the pet will always cast it on you, and if you have a friendly selected, it will cast it on them instead.

I believe this answers both Sac and Master's call queries

I remembered there being problems with it, and I tried it that way last night too. When I had an enemy targeted, it would not use the spell on me. Lame.

Also having problems with the Raptor Strike macro now :(

test it on a target dummy

also, make sure the pet isn't too far away. It does have a range check

It's okay, I think you just edited my original post by accident. :P I'll try them out, thanks!

Another one;

Cast wind shear on my focus if I have a focus, on my target if I don't have a focus?

/cast [target=focus,harm] Wind Shear; [harm] Wind Shear

It won't do anything if your focus and target aren't things you can attack.

/cast [target=focus,harm] Wind Shear; [harm] Wind Shear; [target=targettarget,harm] Wind Shear

This would add the possibility that you will interrupt your target's target if your focus and target aren't attackable.
