View Full Version : Simple cast-sequence bug, not sure what's up...

Currently boxing three shamans and a paladin. In order to save button space for things like seals and such on the paladin (since I have yet to obtain an x-keys type extension for extra keys, and I'm running on one PC) I decided I'd set up a macro on each shaman for totem-squencials. PVP totem farm, and a PVE totem farm, in one macro - if I hold Ctrl when hitting the macro, it drops the PVE totem farm (easier for me to not have to hold ctrl during PVP for totems, so PVE gets the modifier.)

My three shamans are organized in a triangle on my second monitor, with the paladin being the leader/focus target (yes, I know about FTL - I don't know enough about my pally's UI quite yet to switch to that, though.) There's a top shaman, a lower right and a lower left. The macros are all on a key bound to the numpad 0 button. I am using Keyclone, but I have no hotstring file loaded whatsoever.

The top shaman and lower right shaman's macros function perfectly, yet the lower left shaman's macro bugs when I hold down the CTRL button, shifting instead to a blank macro. Perhaps I'm blind and don't see an obvious error, but I worked on this for about 15 mintues and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working.


TOP SHAMAN'S MACRO: Fully functional.

#showtooltip
/castsequence [nomod][mod: alt][mod: shift] reset=5 Grounding Totem, Tremor Totem, Healing Stream Totem, Magma Totem
/castsequence [mod: Ctrl] reset=5 Mana Spring Totem, Grounding Totem, Stoneskin Totem, Magma Totem


BOTTOM RIGHT SHAMAN MACRO: Fully functional.

#showtooltip
/castsequence [nomod][mod: alt][mod: shift] reset=5 Tremor Totem, Grounding Totem, Healing Stream Totem, Magma Totem
/castsequence [mod: Ctrl] reset=5 Mana Spring Totem, Grounding Totem, Strength of Earth Totem, Magma Totem


BOTTOM LEFT SHAMAN MACRO: When I hold the Control button, this shaman's macro changes to the blank ? icon.

#showtooltip
/castsequence [nomod][mod: alt][mod: shift] reset=5 Poison Cleansing Totem, Grounding Totem, Tremor Totem, Flametongue Totem
/castsequence [mod: Ctrl] reset=5 Mana Stream Totem, Windfury Totem, Tremor Totem, Flametongue Totem

I don't see a reason why it would not work, but have had a few macro's which failed to operate.
Deleting the macro, and then starting from scratch and they worked, and it was a copy/paste.
No clue why Warcraft does that at times.

You could copy/paste the pvp portion of a macro from a shaman whose macro is working fine.
And then edit the totems.

The only other thing I could think of is if you have the keybinding set to do two things.
The totem you're attempting and maybe something else as well.

Because in your last line you have "Mana Stream Totem", which doesn't exist.

I presume you meant "Mana Spring Totem", or maybe "Healing Stream Totem" ..

This reminds me of the time I left out the T in [target=targettarget], so the line read [target=targetarget]. My friend and I lovingly refer to this error as "Target-argeting."

I only spotted it because I've done the exact same thing myself! :whistling:

The "?" icon usually a good indicator that you've spelled something wrong or the spell/item doesn't exist.
