Hello macro experts :) Hopefully you can help me with this macro
#showtooltip
/cast [target=focustarget, harm, nomod] [target=party1target, harm, nomod] [] lightning bolt
/cast [target=focustarget, harm, mod:alt] [target=party1target, harm, mod:alt] [] chain lightning
/cast [target=focustarget, help, nomod] [target=party1target, help, nomod] [] lesser healing wave
/cast [target=focustarget, help, mod:alt] [target=party1target, help, mod:alt] [] chain heal
What I'm trying to accomplish is the following
- if target is "harm", no mod keys pressed, then lightning bolt
- if target is "harm", alt key is pressed, chain lightning
- if target is "help", no mod key is pressed, then lesser healing wave
- if target is "help", alt key is pressed, then cast chain heal.
for all of the above, to first cast it on focus target if it exists, if not then do the same thing for party1target if it exists, if not, then cast the spell at my own current target
All of this is inputted directly into a macaroon macro button. for some reason it only shows the lightning bolt icon, and doesnt change to healing spells when i select a team member, and it does show a chain lightning icon when i hold down alt. actually, it has a lightning bolt icon up even if i have nothing targetted. for this test, i had myself set as the focus.
however, this is my old macro, and it works
#showtooltip
/cast [target=focustarget,help,nodead,modifier:ctrl]healing wave
/cast [target=focustarget,help,nodead]lesser healing wave
/cast [target=focustarget,nodead,harm]lightning bolt
they are conceptually similar macros, why does the first one fail but 2nd one work?
Anyone that can help me understand what i'm doing wrong will have awesome karma for the rest of your day, as my failing to get this macro working is basically all that's stopping me from getting my team operational. :(
Thanks in advance to any who can help!
p.s. (while on the subject of macros, is there anyway to copy one toon's macaroon macros directly to another toon's? my teams are usually identical in all setup but character name, if that helps any. Like is there a macro cache file that i can copy from the configured toon to the alts? not a big deal but just with multiple teams to setup, this will be a time saver) :)
