Macaroon

[dbick]

"Soon, I hope, the act of dragging a spell will hide all such config
frames. I had this feature in Trinity, just have not gotten to it in
Macaroon. You have to left-click on a bar to manually cycle states then
turn off config mode to add spells, then turn it back on to
continue...not ideal, I know, but I am not leaving it that way.."


Ok Maul thank you again for not only spending the time to create this addon but for spending the time over here holding our hands. Its all starting to sink in finally. That quote above made the light bulb appear over my head and I got the stance thing figured out. I guess what was confusing me was in your FAQ you made reference to creating 2 bars, one stanced and one paged then somehow linking them together, that is what I was struggling with.

Loved trinity, thanks for macaroon I'm sure I will end up loving it to. Trinity was by far the one addon I felt I would never be able to replace if it stopped working.

Thanks.

Wait, so to do Leaderless/Targetless - Focus Based Hydra , all I need to do is Bar target = focus, custom state as target=focustarget,exists , and then set all the buttons as actionIDs instead of "macro"?

(I'm Dragonsblaze from wowinterface Maul :P)

That's somewhat what I've come to conclude as well, however i just set focustarget in target. - haven't gotten around to play with it yet, just configuring it

one thing though if you set the bar as focustarget target, it won't show as a bar until you .. have a focus and a focustarget it seems. - then it pops out.

i'm sure macaroon/maul can answer on how this exact feature works.

the most optimal solution for me would be to have a list of targets you can move up or down, call it "priorities" - with an added "condition" - it would then traverse down the list and cast on the first match it finds - not sure if that's possible though but that would allow for one bar to be used for all purposes without having to redo them

Question,

I used Bongos before, for one reason only: Able to use modifier (alt, shift, ctrl) to change bar (which also had 1-9 buttons).
Is this possible in macaroon aswell?

Ahh, that's nice that you can left click it, I wasn't aware of that. Instead I was shifting to all
my different forms to change the bars while editing them, 'twas a bit tedious ^_^

By the way, why aren't you just making two stanced bars instead of making one stanced and one paged?

[cairnz]

One reason alone to swap to Macaroon is the possibility to trigger on key-down event instead of key-press. I haven't seen that since Discord.. Much love..

However, why do different bars share the same action id button? <- Read I am a moron that don't rightclick enough. Rightclick an action-id- button then "propagate" ..

Dear Maul,

Thank you very, very much. Please know how much I (and obviously others) appreciate your efforts. Words here cannot express the depth of my gratitude for your efforts to make this mod public and then to hold our hands while we try to get all this power under control.

I can truly say I have never felt this strongly about any other addon I have used. Most addons are a new flavor of mostly the same functionality. Your out-of-the-box thinking on this has gifted the MB'ing community more than most yet realize I suspect. Extending the macro character limit to 1024 characters - HUGE! Increasing the number of buttons beyond the 120 - also big. Just the whole idea of your action bar buttons each being macros... well, enough worship I suppose.

Again, thank you.

Sincerely,
Hàrem

Having never played around with bars other then the default one (I tried, just never got them to work), I think my only questions are these:

1.) If I install a bar mod and set it up, do I need to drag off all the spells from the default Blizzard UI bars before I install and hide my old default bars?

2.) If I don't need to drag off the old spells, do I need to unbind all the bindings I currently have for the default bars? (i.e. the normal 1-= and any custom binding I have like Num0 for Lower Right #12)

I think not doing those things may have been what has messed me up in the past, but I don't want to drag everything off and unbind everything if this isn't going to work the way I want.

Thanks!

1. No you can drag the spells from your spellbook or make macro's for the spells you want to use. You can install macaroon and in the menu disable blizzbars. Just remember what you put where. Or come up with a beter scheme, that is why most of us dont use the default blizzbar.

2. You can rebind in the process of making new bars. Start simple and mimic blizzbars and after a while find out how to implement the new functionalities it gives.

One thing I promise is that it is going to work like you want it to. But it takes time to get that accomplished. When 3.0.2. hit I installed macaroon since trinity was no longer supported and in about 2 / 3 hours I had all I had with trinity and more Starting over with stuff makes sure you take a clean approach.

goodluck
