I haven't tried the macro exactly as I typed it but the 1806 patch says it is going to be 255 character max, so I combined it (that's why it is on hotkey 1 and 8). But, like I said I can't make a simple macro work:

/cast Vampire Arrows
/wait 1.2
/script UseAction(2);

This was the original hotkey 1, and it did nothing. Also I did try to download the editor from this thread and it said file no longer exist.

Quoted from "Salima;23484"

I want to make a macro that will do the following

Cast Heal spell on my target
announce in /party chat "[Target] is being healed"

This will help prevent multiple healers in a group from healing the same person and wasting mana. How do I do this?


This will only be useful if used very occasionally and if the message is something along the lines of "I am healing <name>, focus on others."

To your main question, I've tried targeting party members with:

Quoted

/script TargetUnit("party1")
but it hasn't worked for me yet.

Oh, and before you ask questions actually READ the first page of the thread. Thanks.

Can anyone quickly make a macros that allows me to cast skills on my mainbar: Number 1 4 times, then constantly cast 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 etc... until the target is dead?

you can do this it is easy (i suck and i can make these work)

after todays patch you cna do longer macros again.

type /cast then the skill name as in game
on the next line type /wait then the cast time .75 if instant
repeat the above until you have reched the limit

if looking to make a macro lvlin bot :( then you need to do more but not gonna share that (it is there already but realy come on)



/cast Holy Strike
/wait .75
/cast Holy Strike
/wait .75
/cast Punishment
....


see easy

you can use hot keys by using /script UseAction(1) .... but the skill names will leave less room for error

Is there a function that allows you to see if you are currently casting something? Or a way to detect if a spell is castable?

Say you wanted to write a macro that would automatically cast a buff every so often. I tried doing it with the mage's Energy Well, but if, for example, the cooldown was not up yet, the game would crash.

It would be nice to say If(CanCast('Energy Well'); Cast('Energy Well')); or something like that. That would also help those times when you're in the middle of battle and are currently casting a fireball when the macro tries to cast it again.

In the game, hit 'esc' to open the system settings, and you'll see 'macros' about 1/2 way down the list that pops up. If you put the game in windowed mode, you can just cut and paste the macros.

This is a Toggle for locking/unlocking the Action Bars:

Source code

 
1

/script if (ACTIONBUTTON_LOCKED==true) then ACTIONBUTTON_LOCKED=false; else ACTIONBUTTON_LOCKED=true; end
I am looking for a way to make a similar toggle for these:

Toggling Icon Macros:

Source code

 
1
2

/script GC_SetTitleIconVisible(true);
/script GC_SetTitleIconVisible(false);
Toggling Other Player Names Macros:

Source code

 
1
2

/script GC_SetPlayerTitleVisible(true);
/script GC_SetPlayerTitleVisible(false);
Toggling Your Name Macros:

Source code

 
1
2

/script GC_SetSelfTitleVisible(true);
/script GC_SetSelfTitleVisible(false);
Does anyone know how to make each of these into it's own toggle script function like what was done to lock/unlock the action bars?

I have tried everything I could think of and one time, when trying a code for toggling the Icons, it broke something and the "GC_SetTitleIconVisible" would no longer function until I restarted the game. O.o

As much as I appreciate your criticism, I'm not sure what you're referring to. Nothing on the first page answers my question...thus why I posted it. As for the advice you posted, I wasn't asking how to automatically target someone. Please read the question thoroughly first before replying in the future. Thank you.

Don't know if this was mentioned in another post but I have always hated the fact we can not mass buy an item from the NPC's. For example buying 50 mana pots at one time instead of continuing to click.

The script to buy more then one at a time is this:

/script StoreBuyItem (4, 50)

Where 4 would be the place of the item in the store and 50 the amount you wish to purchase. (4th place is the mana pots in Obsidian Stronghold)

Courtesy to me. ;)

Oh yeah, how come when I macros my Holy Strike it doesn't cast?

Quoted

/cast Holy Strike
/wait 1
/cast Holy Strike
/wait 1
/cast Holy Strike
/wait 1
/cast Holy Strike
/wait 1


I don't see anything wrong.

That should work...
Just hide Holy Strike away on an unused hot bar, and use this:

/script UseAction(x)
/wait 1
/script UseAction(x)
/wait 1
/script UseAction(x)
/wait 1
/script UseAction(x)
/wait 1

Where x is the slot you put it.

I don't think I've seen any autoloot-related macros yet, so here are two simple ones that I've found useful.

Source code

 
1

/script if (BOOTYFRAME_AUTO_TAKE==true) then BOOTYFRAME_AUTO_TAKE=false; else BOOTYFRAME_AUTO_TAKE=true; end
^Enables/Disables Autoloot on the fly. I kept forgetting to turn it off when I didn't need to be a Hoover, and didn't really like digging into the appropriate menus while getting the snot beat out of me in an instance.

Source code

 
1

/script if (BOOTYFRAME_AUTO_TAKE==true) then DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Auto Loot Enabled!"); else DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Auto Loot Disabled!"); end
^Checks to see if Autoloot is enabled. Quicker than digging through the menu to check on it if I can't remember which way it's set.

The registrations for the EU forums are closed, period. I can't register, so could some kind soul with an account on the EU forums upload the macro editor to a direct-download site?

I'm really interested in playing around with the macro system, and I'd be willing to help with the documentation wiki if I could reliably create and test macros. Thanks in advance.

Is there a command to check if a certain monster is currently spawned?

For example, I would like to check if Kiosade has spawned without having to walk all the way there.

Or, is there already an existing addon that would allow to see what elites are up? (I have searched all over the US forums but I am asking because maybe someone has found something on the EU forums)
