View Full Version : Action bar bug

So right now I am multiboxing with my 16 accounts, and it seems fine until like an hour or two into it. The action bar starts bugging out and not letting me cast anything, I also can't manually click on spells, it seems like would be a UI problem, but I can't seem to find a fix to it, not using any addons, if anyone could help me out or have any idea, would like to get it shared.

P.S If I start clicking spells slow enough it seems like it stops bugging out, but I lose like third of my loot, logging out helps but only for a few minutes. Using ISboxer

Are you perhaps using a lootarang macro? It was determined that it needs a /stopcasting in such things, otherwise the game gets a bit weird.

Yes, my macro is just /use loot-a-rang . Should I just drag kn the toy into the action bar or also add /stopcasting before using it?

Yea, it seems related, but for me it seemed the fix slow enough clicking and not spamming.

if i recall, loot doesnt despawn/disappear inntil after 2 mins after you killed the mob. You might want to doublecheck though.. If thats the case, you dont have to loot so often.

Yes, that's what I do, but I have to spam other spells like sunfire and such. Would making loot-a-rang not a macro, but a simple drag and put it into action bar, or /stopcasting should be added to my macro?

What is more, it seems like it sometimes bugs out even when slow clicking and casting spells, not loot-a-rang macro

No idea what you mean.

Are you using a loot addon, so it actually loots everything with one click / use of the lootarang?

Feel free to share a small videoclip.
If you arent video sawy, you could record using your mobile phone (teip etc over toons name etc, on the monitor, if you need privacy), so we could try pinpoint your issue. You could upload to youtube etc.

Nooo, I'm actually using loot-a-rang, but I had for whatever reason idea to make macro /use loot-a-rang, instead of actually picking loot-a-rang from toy box and placing it into my action bar. And it seems like the less I click, the more rare it bugs out, up to no bug out. But at this rate I am losing a lot of mobs, so a lot of gold too. All my addons are auto seller on vendor, isboxer and auto bank on bank. Which none of these interact on farming mobs.

Also forgot to mention, but I need to use loot-a-rang like 3 times every 2 minutes.

Ah ive always just had the toy on the hotbar.
And recheck that autoloot is enabled on all.

A addon that can sell stuff to a vendor, is not the same as a loot addon. Try using the EMA addon feature named "advanced loot mode" or maybe this alternative addon: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/auto-loot-plus


Edit:

my lootarang had a macro:

#showtooltip
/stopcasting
/use loot-a-rang

I'm using this addon right now, gonna try tomorrow to just have the toy in action bar and let you know my results.
Cheers.
