Quoted from "LordKaedric;112901"

/script UseAction(1,1)
/Cast Spellname

The numbers in the UseAction() command relate to the tab and position of the skill on your skill window. Regardless of your class, the Attack skill will always be the first skill on the first tab.

If you want to save characters in your macro you can use
/run UseSkill (1,1);

/run and /script serve the same function, just as UseAction and UseSkill both relate to the skill position on the tabs.

Thanks jsalemi, you have solved my problem .

Hey I am working on my first macro and am running into some snags. Any help would be appreciated.

I am a P/S and I want to create an alternate heal spell that will cast heal and then immediately check vamp arrow to see if it is cooled down, if it is cooled down I want it to cast vamp arrow, if it is not, then I want it to cast rising tide.

Should be simple so ideally I would want it to look like this:

/cast Heal
/wait .5
/run if (GetActionUsable(3)) then UseAction (3); else UseAction (2); end
/wait .5

This doesn't work. Like wise "/run UseAction (20)" doesn't work either for line one. I have fiddled with the wait times and nothing happens. I can either get it to just cast Heal or just do the Vamp arrow/rissing tide cast, but not both.

Help please!

Jeremy

ok ignore my last question, i got it to work like this:


/run UseAction (21)
/wait 3
/run if (GetActionUsable(3)) then UseAction (3); elseif (GetActionUsable(1)) then UseAction (1); else UseAction (2); end
/wait 1

[where 21=Heal, 3=Vampire Arrows, 2=Rising Tide, 1=Bone Chill]


Here is my NEW question:

I would prefer for my "elseif" statement could check and see if my target already is bone chilled, and if it is not then move on to rising tide. My use of the GetActionUsable is pointless because bone chill does not have a cool down.

So, what command could I use to check and see if my target is in bone chill?

Thanks a ton!

For the complexity you're getting too, I'd strongly suggest moving up to a custom function. Check out Sixpax's custom combat engine in the main Add-ons and Macros forum.

As jsalemi suggested, if you're getting into that much complexity I'd suggest either making your own custom functions (see link #1 in my sig) or jumping headlong into a full blown combat engine (see link #2 in my sig).

Ok I am thorougly confused on macros.
So #1: can someone create a (copy and pastable) macro for shadowstab, then low blow, then wound attack? (Also does it matter if I leveled up those skills? So would I write shadowstab +20???)
#2: (optional) Just any macros you think a noob rogue might need.

You don't use the "+20" on the skill names in macros, just the name itself. So a simplistic way to do the 3 attack combo is:

this is what i have for a macro /script UseAction(2);wait 1;/script UseAction(3); and this is the message i get [string 'UseAction(2); /wait1; /script UseAction(3);']:1:unexpected symbol near '/' I am tired i have not been able to play since patch.I am trying too get over the death of Uber but i am stumped.I have looked over the fuorms over and over no luck if someone would be so kind as too point out my problem that would be great Ps I love the support and help we are getting from frogster they realy show they listen and value our wants and needs

Here's how your macro should look:

Might I suggest trying out the combat engine in my sig. I'll be glad to help you setup the code for your class combo if you need help.

If you're having problems with Notepad, I'd suggest using Notepad++. You can download it here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus/files/

I find it much better using that when working with code.

That error indicates it's not finding the ReadSkills function. So either you don't have the .lua and .toc files in the right place or your .lua file is fubar.

Make sure you have this path setup just as I type it for the combat engine:

Runes of Magic\Interface\AddOns\MyFunctions

After that, go to the combat engine thread and grab the .zip file at the bottom of the first post. Extract the two files in the .zip to that folder above.

Open the MyFunctions.lua with Notepad++ and add a blank line at the end. Then copy and paste the KWcombat code after that blank line.

Login and see if you still get that error.

I just Smashed my first Mob in almost a week ty.U make it so easy

Its been asked here a couple times, but not answered anywhere I can see:

How can I cancel a currently running macro? For instance, I target nearest enemy and hit my macro, then realize that was a mistake. I want to cancel running after the mob and attacking it. But if I try to run away, I keep turning around to attack until the macro ends.

I understand macros, but wonder if there is a cancel command, or at worse case just un-target the mob or target myself? I'd make it its own macro to hit incase I try to run the macro on the wrong target.

I'm not sure this will work, but give it a try...

At the very top of your macro put this as the first line:

Now when you have the macro running and you want to cancel it, hold the Shift key and run it again.

Let me know if that works.

ok i dont even have a clue about wat to do so if any1 wants to put that into an easier explination that would be great.
lol

Explanation of what? Macros in general?

Is there a macro to do a range check.
Like if a monster is in a certain range run so and so script, if it isnt, it doesnt do anything?
