macro issue
|
Hey guys,
I would like to ask for some help please. I found the polymorph macro online i am unable to get it to work. #showtooltip /stopcasting /cast [modifier:shift, target=focus] Polymorph;Polymorph /party Morphing (%t) do NOT ATTACK!!!!!!!!!! this is the macro but when i select the target and shift click it says "You have nop target" Alll i want to be able to do is to for example lets say you have priest plus warrior combo in arena. And while im dpsing the warrior i can shift click poly the priest. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated, Regards, Alex |

#showtooltip
/stopcasting /cast [modifier:shift, target=focus] Polymorph; Polymorph /party Morphing (%t) do NOT ATTACK!!!!!!!!!! Only difference there is, you forgot a bit of space between the polymorphs and such. Also, not a very good idea to do the whole '/party morphing' thing if it's for a focus macro. The way it works there however is, it polymorphs your focus target with shift pressed at the same time as the button for the polymorph macro and just your target if without shift. You'd be better off just making separate macros if you want to keep it with the party thing. Say, just make those two macros; #showtooltip /cast [target=focus] Polymorph #showtooltip /cast Polymorph /party Morphing (%t) do NOT ATTACK!!!!!!!!!! And you'd be better off in my opinion. Or well, it's my personal suggestion. |

Hi,
When you say make 2 macro will it work like i click one it morphs current target and then shift clickfor the other one while the current is selected? Because i cant see a modfier code there. Regards, ALex |

Hi, Pretty much, yes. You just need to make a bind at keybindings for somewhere on your bars for the shift click macro to be put there. Say, I have two binds. I have Q and I have shift Q. I'll put the focus macro on my shift Q bind and my normal macro on Q. That way, when I press my macro by pressing shift Q, I'll polymorph my focus. And when I press just Q, it'll polymorph my current target. There is no modifier code there, because it involves you just making a bind for it. So no modifier is needed. I forgot to mention that takes in mind the fact that you press your buttons for abilities. If you click with the mouse, it won't work. But you can just use the original macro (only mistake I found there was you didn't put any space here 'Polymorph; Polymorph') but lose the '/party polymorphing that guy' thing to not confuse your partners. |

Ops. I failed there a bit. I tested this one now though however and it should definitely work without flaw for what you wanted it to do. I just recommend removing the whole party thing however. #showtooltipI forgot to remove the space in [modifier;shift,target=focus]. |

does it have to be a q i use q for striding
|

this two macro things is confusing i would just want that first one to work but im copy pase word for word and still saying "you hae no target" when i select priomary target. Do i need to write a macro for focus ?
|
Try copy pasting this macro: #showtooltipNot the first one you wrote. |
|
|
Is there soemthing that is not enabled on my pc?
|
|
|
when its pasted from here
#showtooltip and /stopcasting and /cast and /party are all next to each other so i put it into sperate lines like you did here and it still doesnt work for me |
|
#showtooltip Problem is, it will always yell -your target's name- when doing this. Even if you are polying your focus, it will yell your targets name. Let's pretend key "2" is your Poly button, you make this macro into "2" #showtooltip and this one to "Shift-2" #showtooltip The syntax %t is to write your target name, and %f is to write your focus name. This might work as a workaround, perhaps. |

i dont really care about announcing it if i can just getting to do it. Even if i remove party chat. In my key bindings where i got f nexto to it it says key unbound
|
|
|
And i have just set that other space to shift-f and when i click it morphs the selected target. Even my arena pard cant understand why is it not working for me
|
|
Did you set each line that starts with / to separate rows ? Your macro page must look exactly like :
|
|
Try it like this
#showtooltip
|

Dear Lord... The problem you describe isn't with the macro - it's the fact you don't have a focus set. Go to some lowbie area with lots of mobs close together. Target one, type /focus
Now target a *different* mob, press shift + your poly macro bind and voila! The mob you're not targetting goes baaaa. Is typing /focus in the heat of battle practical? Ofc not. Make a make for it, bind it to a key. Job done. |

|
So what is the focus macro then? Just focus? is it not supposed to be auto focused in 2s arena?

it might not work, because you have a key bind somewhere that uses the Shift + key witch can cause conflicts. ex: if you put the macro on F.. and have something else on Shift+ F.. it won't work. Make sure the keybinds, are open. Also this macro might be better suited for you're needs: #showtooltip /stopcasting /stopcasting /cast [mod:shift, @focus, exists, harm][@mouseover, exists, harm][harm] Polymorph double stopcasting makes the macro respond faster Exists checks if you actually have a target. And the harm tag makes sure the target is hostile. what the macro does: is cast it on focus if you have shift pressed, or at you're mouse over if the mouse over is an enemy otherwise it cast's it at you're current target. hope this helped. edit: LoL i just nor read the above posts. SO put a target in focus first.. then test the macro. |
