/cast [combat,nomounted ][mod:alt] Ghost Wolf

/dismount [mounted]
/cancelform [stance]


Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong in this macro? I want alt to do ghost wolf ctrl do flyer.

make sure whatever key you are using is not bound, incl alt and ctrl of the key

just tested and works fine for me

If you're going to have modifiers to do them, then make it this:

/dismount
/cancelform
/cast [nomod] Swift Brewfest Ram; [mod:alt] Ghost Wolf; [mod:ctrl] Tawney Windrider

No need to overcomplicate things

Jamien is correct, however in case you are still wondering; the problem with your original macro was that the mod condition was seperate from the status conditions.

Corrected:
#showtooltip
/cast [combat,nomounted,mod:alt] Ghost Wolf
/cast [nostance,nocombat,noflyable] Swift Brewfest Ram
/cast [nostance,nocombat,noflyable,mod:ctrl] Tawney Windrider
/dismount [mounted]
/cancelform [stance]

Having /cast [combat,nomounted ][mod:alt] Ghost Wolf means it will check for combat and mount status, and only if those are false will it check for the alt key.

Having /cast [combat,nomounted ][mod:alt] Ghost Wolf means it will check for combat and mount status, and only if those are false will it check for the alt key.indeed. the logic for the mod:ctrl is incorrect. which is why it doesnt work.
if all you want is to do alt for ghostwolf and ctrl for flyer, then you might as well use this macro:

/dismount[mounted]
/cancelform[form]
/cast [mod:alt] Ghost Wolf; [mod:ctrl] Wayney Windrider; Swift Brefest Ram

the reason why i took out the flyable, combat, nocombat, etc is that it is not needed if you're uisng modifiers to tell your macro what to do.
the only reason why you would want the conditionals in there is if you want a "smart" button to do things for you. click it and you will get a flyer in outlands, or a swift land mount in azeroth, or a ghostwolf if youre in combat.... automatically, without modifiers. now you can combine them and make the macro more complicated. but that's only if you prefer it.

Thanks.. This just cleared 3 keybinds and 3 spots on my ui.

FTW Mount Macro!
