Macros

Just curious if (and what type) of macros you guys use.

I only have one atm:
(Target nearest Friendly and assists them. Doesn't target Pets.)
/script TargetNearestFriend() if (not UnitIsPlayer("Target")) then TargetNearestFriend();end if (not UnitIsPlayer("Target")) then ClearTarget();end
/assist

I think it's kinda useful in the "heat of the battle" :p
So, anyone else wanna share their secret macros? ;)

I really do not get why I have yet to see another rogue weapon switch.

Press ambush/backstab dagger comes out and goes back, bringing in the big hitting main hand only weapon for much better SS damage.

Is there a listing somewhere of all the available scripts/commands?

edit: /help and /macrohelp aren't really... much of a help.

i have a wand autocast autoit script if anyone is interested. its great for preventing carpal tunnel syndrome

i have a wand autocast autoit script if anyone is interested. its great for preventing carpal tunnel syndrome

im very interested. Post link?

I wrote it and I was planning to release it if anyone actually wanted it. I've been using it for like two weeks and it works pretty well. To use it you either have to compile it using AutoIt3.exe or download the AutoCast.exe and run it. I figure no one will run a random exe off the internet but here it is:

http://home.nycap.rr.com/addps4cat/AutoWand.exe -- Exe version --


If you don't trust me, just compile the script using the Aut2Exe.exe file in the zip
http://home.nycap.rr.com/addps4cat/AutoWand.au3 -- Script file--
http://www.hiddensoft.com/cgi-bin/getfile.pl?autoit3/autoit-v3.zip -- Autoit-v3 Install files --

Here's the low down and dirty of what it does:

Features
A global toggle so you can turn off detecting the ToggleWand key
Does not require WoW to be the active window
Super duper anti-hack detection
The default is that it will start pressing the key when you start the program (feature not a bug)
Will change the WoW window title to "SHOOTING" while autocasting wand

The default keys are "1" to toggle casting, "End" to toggle detection of "1", and "Del" to close the script program. The shoot key should be bound to "\".

Barring Cosmos I only use a couple of addons but no macros.

I found MobHealth, SellValue and ReagentWatch to be particularly useful. SellValue especially when you want to remember which vendor trash is more valuable.

I assume wand firing is similar to non-hunter ranged in that it has a cooldown and you have to keep pressing it?
