Macro comment for successful cast only


Megalyn 41 posts	I hijacked this macro from another thread regarding Leap of Faith. I currently have a /yell statement macro'd to my PW:B. My guild is good about standing under it but pugs tend to be unaware. I have had some issues where I tried to pop and didn't realize it was on cd or hit the button more than once since lag prevented it from appearing immediately. On my to-do list is finding a better way to announce. I know there are add ons, but my PC has been misbehaving lately so I'd like to avoid adding more to it. This macro could function as a blueprint if I was a bit more knowledgeable. I understand the mouseover, range, and cooldown portions, I also understand it will cast at your mouseover target first and your focus if the target isn't alive & friendly. The chat message portion selects the target though and I'm not sure which portion(s) to change to make it a yell instead. I'm also unclear on the purpose of "/script local u". Can someone offer some guidance?

That way you don't have to worry about massive macros that try to catch all the wacky conditions like stunned/silenced/etc, out of mana, etc etc. I put a quick and dirty one together for myself awhile back, but presumably someone has written a better one. Mine was used like so: /script CastCaller.Announce("Rebirth") /cast Rebirth If folks don't know of a similar addon out there, maybe I'll resurrect mine. Posted Jan 7, 12

zohar101 523 posts	Totally late at this point but: #showtooltip /script local u,t="mouseover","Leap of Faith" if IsSpellInRange(t,u)==1 and GetSpellCooldown(t)==0 then SendChatMessage("You just got LoveGripped! The whooshing in your ears and mild disorientation is a temporary side-effect of my love. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.","YELL") end /cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][@focus,help,nodead][]Leap of Faith local u,t is defining "mouseover" and "leap of faith" as u and t variables. In this macro, the purpose is space saving. So when you have to put mouseover repeatedly throughout the macro, you just define it once, and use u for the rest of it. Posted Mar 17, 12
