need help with this mount macro please

[largegroh]

i have a macro that when puched will mount both my toons. however, when i switched mounts to the Swift Stromsaber it does not mount. i am using



/cast [nocombat,outdoors,nomounted] Reins of the Swift Stormsaber
/dismount [mounted]

can someone point me to my mistake?

in the actual macro the words for the mount actually wrap around to have Swift Stormsaber on a new line. like this

/cast [nocombat,outdoors,nomounted] Reins of the

Swift Stormsaber
/dismount [mounted]

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Did you try /use instead of /cast? I think they act the same in most cases but I'm not positive where the exact differences lie.

[largegroh]

I will try that but the /cast works fine on

#showtooltip
/cast [nostance,nocombat,noflyable] Swift Palomino
/dismount [mounted]

this toon mounts and dismounts if mounted. so it should work on the above unless the name is not what is on the tooltip

[elsegundo]

is it a stromsaber or a stormsaber?

You can use them interchangeably. There is no difference in the two.

when i bring up the tooltip it says Reins of the Swift Stormsaber and yes they worked the same /use or /cast neither worked in this case but did with the pinto

when i bring up the tooltip it says Reins of the Swift Stormsaber and yes they worked the same /use or /cast neither worked in this case but did with the pintotry this. in your macro field, delete "reins of the swift stormsaber". now SHIFT+CLICK on the icon in your inventory. it should auto fill with the correct name.
try that.

[largegroh]

keep the suggestions coming, or sure knowledge of how to do it is great too. nothing has worked so far and i am stumped

[largegroh]

i did the shift+cxlick and got the same Reins of the Swift Stormsaber. still does not mount meup. sigh

[elsegundo]

are you outdoors when you do this?

[largegroh]

yes. in fact i have two toons. one mounts his pinto and the other stands there instead of mounting his cat. i suspect it is something really simple that i have wrong but for the life of me i can't find it

[elsegundo]

are you clicking???

[largegroh]

i have a macro for each. it is in t he same slot on each toon. when i push it, if they are mounted, they will dismount. if not mounted, they will both mount. at least this is what happens with other pair of toons. here only the pinto guy mounts. the cat guy just stands there

[elsegundo]

does he just stand there with an error message? are you sure you mapped the macro to the right key for the second guy?

[largegroh]

just stands there. no error message. both macro buttons are in t he same slot for each toon.

[elsegundo]

man we're eliminating a lot of factors. but still... we keep pressing onward!!

now is that button on a do-not-pass list? if the second character were to press that button (as a main), would it work?

[largegroh]

no it is not on no-pass list with keyclone. if i mute the keyclone, and i moved inside, i get the message can't mount in here for the pinto guuy and nothing for the other guy, who i moved to main just to see.

If thats your whole macro (no combat, outdoors, not mounted) just keep it simple.

/dismount
/cast Reins of the Swift Stormsaber

I never quite got why people used the extra variables when it won't really matter. You can't mount the thing indoors, so you don't need "outdoors". You can't mount in combat so you really don't need "nocombat", and theres no need to check that you're not mounted before casting it.

[largegroh]

i think i tried that b ut will do so anyway. just as a note. i discovered that when i click the macro from the main side only the main mounts but if i go across to the slave side and click the button the slave mounts. iwerd as it works fine on normal mounts. anyway will try yours

[Ughmahedhurtz]

What are you using to multibox: software? hardware? Sounds like it has nothing to do with your macro. Maybe you have a key stuck or not working in your hardware/software or you have the macro on a button you forgot to add to the in-game keybinds in wow?
