Healing Macro Help

[Haruko]

I was just wondering if someone would be wondering in helping me with Healing macros. Specific with healing with 4 x priests. I need help with macros on healing self w/o losing target if possible & maybe a mouse-over healing one as well, or targettarget or whatever something I read.

currently I was trying to do something like:

/castsequence [help] [target=mouseover,help,exists] [target=targettarget, help, exists] [target=player] reset=target/5 Renew, Heal

But I couldn't really get the toons to cast onto a 70 mage that was boosting the others toons. I ended up just making basic stupid macros of /target person /cast flash heal

macros seem so darn hard, I only hope things get better in time with this whole process, even though I've only been at it two days now.

Yes, I have checked all over the wiki, google search = priests healing macros, hell I even search all over vyndree vboxing site for clues. wowwiki/macros as well. I've done the research just need help getting the code right.

software using currently: Keyclone

Thanks all in advance, Haruko

let me get this straight before i start helping you so i don't give you something completely differant than what you want,

so you're trying to get a castsequence macro to first renew, then heal in the same button after pressing it twice targetting your mouseover?

Edit: It may also help posting this in the macro/addon section

I need one macro for flash heal & another macro for renew. I thought I posted it in the wrong thread as well. if I can be five boxing and on the main screen, would I be able to just mouse over heal from that screen?

For something relatively similar to demonstrate enough to give you a starting point, try this link:



Here are some macros I made for a priest when triple boxing with 2 support warlocks.

/cast [target=mouseover,party,nodead] power word: shield; [target=party1,nodead] power word: shield

/cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead] cure disease; [target=party2,nodead] power word: shield

/cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead] dispel magic; [target=player] power word: shield

/cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead] renew; [target=party1,nodead] renew

/cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead] flash heal; [target=party2,nodead] renew

/cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead] greater heal; [target=player] renew

With just 6 keys I have quick one-button access to a shield or renew for any of my three characters. Plus I have easy access to shield, renew, cure disease, dispel magic, flash heal, and greater heal that I can cast on anyone by mousing over the toon on the screen or on a character frame and pressing the appropriate button.

Not a bad way to save on macro space and key usage. Very handy for when you let someone else join the group as it gives a way to heal them without having to make any macro or key changes. Not a problem for you 5-boxers since your group is already full of course.





If this is helpful to you thank the Yarddog.

also remember that when you mouseover someone, it only works on the screen you're mousing over. your slaves will not see your mouse pointer on your main. they will not be able to know who your main is mousing over or mouseovering, or whatever.

your macro doesnt work because if you cant do the renew, you will not go to the next spell. so your conditions might have to be a bit different.

/castsquence [target=mouseover, help] [target=targettarget, help] [help] [target=player] Renew, Heal

1. checks for mouseover helpful, yes? renew, heal. no? go to 2.
2. checks for targettarget helpful, yes? renew, heal. no? go to 3.
3. checks to see if the character's individual target is helpful, yes? nenew, heal. no? go to 4.
4. cast renew on yourself. cant cast heal. why? because your macro basically rules out renew except to do it on yourself, why should heal work... unless on yourself?
and remember, if your renew does land, your heal will always go to the slave's current target, since you have it only to Heal with no conditions. So, if your main is targeting a level 70 mage and your slaves are targeting you, your renews will probably land on the mage while your heals will only land on your main.


also, another reason your macro doesnt work is because, if your slaves are targeting the main, the first condition will always be true, therefore, it will cast renew always on the main. always. in your macro, you made [help] the first condition. so your slaves will evaluate that their target (the main) is helpful, and will cast renew on the main, then heal on the current target, which is also the main. see the problem?
