Why Would 4.0.1 Break This Macro?

Hey guys,

I've used this macro as a general accept macro for a long time. With the introduction of 4.0.1, it will no longer accept group invites.

I can click Accept on group invites, but the macro no longer works. It is very odd b/c I've quintuple-checked the syntax and taken portions of the macro that contain the AcceptGroup(); portion into other macros and it works just fine. The other parts seem to work fine as well. What simple thing am I missing?

/run AcceptGroup();ConfirmSummon();AcceptQuest(); AcceptTrade(); RetrieveCorpse(); RepopMe();StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE");
/click LFDRoleCheckPopupAcceptButton;
/click LFDDungeonReadyDialogEnterDungeonButton;StaticPopu p_Hide("CONFIRM_SUMMON");

/click LFDDungeonReadyDialogEnterDungeonButton;StaticPopu p_Hide("CONFIRM_SUMMON");

is there supposed to be a space between the u and p for StaticPopup_Hide ????

just a though thats the only thing that looks out of place

If I had to guess, I'd say the problem is combining a /click with a normal script command in line 3.

/click != /run

So your new macro would look like this:

/run AcceptGroup();ConfirmSummon();AcceptQuest(); AcceptTrade(); RetrieveCorpse(); RepopMe();StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE"); StaticPopup_Hide("CONFIRM_SUMMON");
/click LFDRoleCheckPopupAcceptButton
/click LFDDungeonReadyDialogEnterDungeonButton

Thanks for the replies.

ocuus, not sure what that space is in my post. Checked it and it isn't in my macro.

Ughmahedhurtz, I tried your switch and it still isn't working. Same issue - other parts of the macro still work.

Looking at the problem a little further, when I execute the macro the inviter gets a message that the character declined my group invite (not before I click it, so it isn't like an auto-decline thing).. Any other thoughts?

Addons auto declining for you. Jamba does it as well as some well known UI complilations that I forget the names of.

Edit: Reread your post a bit closer - its not addons - its the StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE") interfering with the AcceptGroup().

StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE") declines the invite.

You need AcceptGroup() and then a delay and then the StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE").

That seemed to be the issue, Jafula, thanks!

I took the StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE") and put it into another macro and the accept macro works fine.

It is odd that that macro worked just fine until 4.0.1 and it is a bit of a bummer to have to hit two keys to do what only required one before, but I'm happy for a solution to something I use 12 times a day :)

BTW, there isn't any way to add a delay within a macro so I could keep it to one key, is there?

Nah delays are a no go area. You can achieve them with third party hardware/software but they are outside of the ToS

You could use Jamba to do the party invite thing for you though or simply have your toons in a jamba team with auto acccept group invite from team selected. This is how I get away with a one key invite/accept buttotn.

You can try

/in 2 /run StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE")

or some variant of that. I know it works for chat and a few other minor things. Never tried it out of combat on other things.

So delays out of combat are not against the TOS?

Using the "/in" command is obviously OK as they provide the command for your use. I'd be very wary of extrapolating that to encompass any other delay mechanisms.

Well... huh, more confusion.

Here's my latest macro:

/run AcceptGroup();ConfirmSummon();AcceptQuest(); AcceptTrade();RetrieveCorpse();RepopMe();
/click LFDRoleCheckPopupAcceptButton;
/click LFDDungeonReadyDialogEnterDungeonButton;
/in 1 /run StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE");

I invited this toon, clicked the macro, and it worked like a charm! I thought great, problem solved, right? :)

Then I left party and tried it again, just to make sure.... insta-decline - the popup didn't even show up. :mad:

After trying this multiple times, when I log into the game the first time it works great, but all other times no matter who invites him until I relog my toon auto-declines. Good grief, I didn't figure an accept macro could be so complex.

any chance you would need to show the staticpopup again before you could receive a new invite? /in 2 /run StaticPopup_Show("PARTY_INVITE"); I'm just guessing here and I'm not at my computer to try it out.

I think you can replace both AcceptGroup() and StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE") with

/click StaticPopup1Button1

Not tested this, so I don't know if it works, but basically it clicks the first button on a dialog, so it should work for other dialogs.

Sounds like you stumbled on a known UI bug. Now that you mention the failure conditions, I remember this happening with a group-invite macro where I just hid the dialog instead of clicking the button. Jamba's code works great so I disabled my macro and let it handle the invites. See if Jafula's suggestion fixes it.

Sweet! Yep, that fixed it. All the accept stuff back in one button again :D

You guys are great.
