is there a macro or command to make it so a button does not press if the spell is on cooldown.

mainly for global cooldowns.


also in my arena team on 70 i have macros for my spells and it says in party chat what rank ect. im trying to make it so it wont activate the button if im casting or if its on cooldown.

Be more specific Stx.

What are you trying to accomplish with what spells, etc.

If you mean, "Is there a macro option that will not cause the macro to NOT operate if there is currently a Global Cooldown going," then No, there is no such way to write a macro.

You can do some conditional processing (i.e.: nodead, harm, nochanneling, etc.) in macros and some UI mods will operate on conditionals (but only out of combat). To stop the macro when either the GCD is down or the spell is on cooldown is not possible within a macro.

I'm assuming an example like this:

Holy shield has a 10 sec cooldown.
If you press Holy Shield when it's on cooldown, you get an annoying "whoosh" sound per keypress
If it's not on cooldown, you get a nice little shield-like sound.

I believe the OP is asking for a way to press Holy Shield if and only if it is not on cooldown, and to basically /stopmacro when it is on cooldown.

If that is the case, the answer is no. The only thing you can do is turn off you in-game sounds. It's really annoying, I know.

You should be able to remove the "whoosh" sound the following way if you have enough space in your macro (if its a macro that casts the spell).


/console soundFX 0
/cast Holy Shield
/console soundFX 1

Nephida,

I think that may SERIOUSLY bog down your game if spammed. Worth a shot tho.
