The Macro Codex

"Please only post in this thread if you are contributing a macro to be considered"

The Macro Codex is a summation of macro's useful to multiboxers. Only basic descriptions are included, so an understanding of focus and modifiers is required to make use of many of these macro's. Feel free to add to the thread, but please take discussions to another post or to PM's. Let's keep this neat and clean!

Here is a great link with macro examples of how they apply:

http://borkweb.com/story/world-of-warcraft-20-macros

Enjoy! :lol:

[aetherg]

Here's a more compact form of the macro that switches focuses depending on who's dead:

/focus [target=<name>,help,nodead]; [target=<name>,help,nodead]; ... [target=<name>,help,nodead]

You can add as many [target=<name>,help,nodead] as you want; they need to be separated by semicolons. Where I have <name>, just enter the name of the character to focus on. This is a lot more compact (only 145 characters for my group of 5). It also checks for 'help', which means it should skip over mind-controlled targets properly.

[Kel]

I take no credit forthis macro (but can't remember who made it), but I found it really useful for my alt mage:

/target <main>
/assist
/cast Skinning

And I also made this macro for fishing (if anyone is crazy/bored enough to try levelling that):

/cast [nochanneling] Fishing

You could make it equip your fishing pole too (if it's not already equipped), but I wrote that on the fly so didn't put it in. You still have to click both bobbers when you get a catch, but this macro lets you spam one button to fish on both toons, without interupting a cast if they catch at different times.
I found it quite easy (and more interesting) to fish with two toons as oppiosed to one, but I wouldn't want to try watching 5 bobbers. I might try this with a linked mouse but I'm not sure if that would be accurate enough.

[Mijn]

So I just rolled my Multi-boxing team last friday, and been working out macros.

I've have a lot of problems with healing and casting, using macros containing /assist. So been rewriting until I've found some that I was satisfied with.



Main = the one thats focused by everyone else.

Healing(alts), This one will cast on what your main's target is attacking (excellent for healing the one tanking), if the main have a character targeted in the group targeted, it will cast on that target, failing that the main gets healed.

#showtooltip Healing Wave
/cleartarget
/cast [target=focustargettarget,help,nodead,exists] Healing Wave; [target=focustarget,help,nodead,exists] Healing Wave; [target=focus,help,nodead,exists] Healing Wave

Can be used with any healer class, just need to switch out Healing Wave, can also cast specific ranks just include (Rank #) right after Wave, # needs to be the rank you want. (Personnally I heal with everyone, so I have downranked 2-3 ranks, as that is enough)

Healing (Main)

#showtooltip Healing Wave
/cast [target=targettarget,help,nodead,exists] Healing Wave; [help,nodead,exists] Healing Wave



For casting(Alts) (Main just targets something and alts will cast on the same, and no need for the main to use a macro)

#showtooltip Lightning Bolt
/cleartarget
/cast [target=focustarget,harm,nodead] Lightning Bolt

One thing about these macros, if you switch focus around when the main dies, they will NOT work. I personally target with the main even after it goes down

[pinotnoir]

Setting focus with 1 macro and 1 button with modifiers.

/focus [modifier:shift] pinotblanc; [modifier:alt] pinotnoir; [modifier:ctrl] shenlong; pinotgrigio

If I press shift + (key I bind it to) it will make pinotblanc focus. Press alt + (key I bind it to) it will make pinotnoir focus. Press ctrl + (key I bind it to) it will make shenlong focus. Press just (the key I bind it to) makes pinotgrigio focus. This is pretty cool.

I am not sure if there is another modifer button you can use for a 5th. Right now I am running 4 so it works for me.

[Djarid]

you can add multiple modifiers

eg



Focus Macro
/focus [target=Ashanav,nomodifier][target=Ashanaw,mod:shift][target=Ashanax,mod:ctrl]
[target=Ashanay,mod:alt][target=Ashanaz,mod:alt, mod:ctrl]


note it is actually all on one line but it is too long

[Rakadazan]

#showtooltip



/assist (insert name here)



/cast [stance:1] ambush



/castsequence [nostance] reset=2 sinister strike, backstab, sinister strike



What this says is; (show icon current spell, target mains target, if stealthed ambush, if unstealthed cast sinister strike then backstab then sinister strike, start over in 2 seconds sinister strike, backstab, sinister strike) I had to add the 2second reset so incase my alt is attacked he is not stuck on backstab but for 2seconds.

[Exilezor]
