hey everyone, first of all love the idea behind this :) truly epic coding! I just wanted to highlight something. I don;t want to put a downer on things but I do want to make sure none of us are punished for our overenthusiasm
I posted this earlier but it may have been overlooked:
Could I ask a few things to those currently testing this?
First of all does the macro for casting things require you to press the button twice? or if you set coordinates does it go off automatically? I ask this cos Blizzard could potentially interpret this as automating an attack. :S (reducing a button press + click to one button press)
as for the minimap movement, again I would be very very weary of this. Even tho I don't for a moment assume you have any malintentions, there have been add-ons in the past that used waypoints and ppl using these were banned. Or is it simply using the clickto move function that blizz has in the game?
Just looking out for the community.. I would recommend having the code looked at by a blizz employee to make sure
I do hope that I am completely wrong and that this is in no way outside the rules, but I hope it's taken into consideration
I wouldn't worry too much about it.
There are other ways that minimize button press.
For example:
/use conjured food
/use conjured water
If you have this macro, you press the button once and you will eat and drink at the same time.
For the waypoint bans (if we are talking about the same thing), it was when there was a mod that created a way point between yourself and a destination and moved you along without you doing anything... basically automating your movements to reach a destination.
The scripts used is from Blizzard's own API which are basically scripts and command lines that Blizz added for the users to use to create mods and such.
So in my opinion, I'm pretty sure that there's nothing wrong with this script usage.
Shweet :) good enough for me! altho I am very easaly convinced :PQuote:

These aren't the droids you're looking for.
Out of curriosity does it have to be the mini map we ping? can we just ping the world? What I am asking is you are always at some x y z cord in the world... how would one find out these cords?
I might be doing a Jim Carey impersonation right now... in other words talking out my ass.
I thought we should start collecting data on which spells work with this script. Post ones you have actually tested.
Hunter:
Volley: WORKS
Flare: ABOVE HEAD
Warlock:
Rain of Fire: WORKS
Mage:
Flamestrike: ABOVE HEAD
Blizzard: WORKS
Priest:
Lightwell: ABOVE HEAD (and too high to actually use)
Okay, that was an uniformed question.Quote:

BUT, doing some research.
Volley, you can click the volley spell and then click on your mini map and the volley will go off there. Same for Flare. Flare hits above the ground just as if you used the /script macro.
So, this means that volley works as intended but we could possibly put in a bug request for flare and all the other spells this doesn't work on. It is obvious that Blizzard intended for us to be able to call down a targeted AoE by clicking on the mini map ... it's just some of the spells Z axis are off.
And it is the Z axis being off on the SPELL. Players altitude does not matter. It's the area that you are calling down the spell on.
Doing more research... will report back with my findings... what can I say... I am bored as hell at work today.
Boomkin Hurricane = 20ft above your head. Works, though. Doubt it'll hit up there though
As per suggestion's I have touched based with a GM and they have confirmed this appears to be a bug that has been un-identified untill now.
They have passed on the information regarding spells we have identified as Not Working and hopefully we will see something in the patch notes soon!
