Hello!
atm i'm running 5 enhancement shaman, and i was wondering if there's a macro which can do the following
when i hover over a character unit frame, cast healing surge.
when not hovering over a target, dont use macro.
i'd like to put this macro into the steps so when a char gets low on health i can get those insta healing surges! ( when mealstorm available ofc)
hope someone can help 👍
Grtzz!
Well... You sorta can I guess, but I doubt it will work like you want it to.
As far as I know:
should cast Healing Surge on to a mouseover target, when one exists i.e. you are hovering over one. If one does not exists, the condition is not met and it it drops down to casting Stormstrike.Code:/cast [target=mouseover,exists] Healing Surge
/cast Stormstrike
The problem is, that there is no way of telling it to only cast when you are hovering over unit frames. The same functionality works when hovering over a friendly target in the game world, so you'd end up accidentally casting it on people.
I'd recommend just having it on a separate bind on click. I'm sure some ISBoxer trickery could be used to create a bunch of repeater regions or buttons that trigger specific mapped keys when your mouse enters in to the region, but this seems like a very overkill, and unflexible way of doing something that could be done with a simple click.
For example you could create a mouseover bind/click for setting focus, and then macro your abilities like this:
This is similar to the previous setup. It casts Healing Surge on your focus if one exists. If not, then it goes to Stormstrike. Of course what this means is that as long as there is a focus, Stormstrike is not cast ever. This obviously means you also need to be able to drop focus when you want to stop using Healing Surge.Code:/cast [target=focus,exists] Healing Surge
/cast Stormstrike
Or perhaps you could to separate the 2 lines of the macro in to different actions in the same mapped key. So for example:
Mapped Key (Stormstrike)Step 1- Macro that sends "/cast [target=focus,exists] Healing Surge"
- Macro that sends "/cast Stormstrike"
It's not perfect, but I think it would be functional.
When using mouseover macros you should try to specify whether you're trying to help, or harm the unit, so that you don't end up trying to cast helpful spells on enemy units, and vice versa.
/use [@mouseover,help] SpellName
Also, help and harm both imply exists, so there's no need to add in a redundant conditional.
