Anyone figured out the mount macro thing yet?

[Ellette]

So... I tried taking Anjuna's mount macro and altering it slightly by adding a line for Ghost Wolf, but it's not working And it's not spammable either bc it keeps dismounting me. Any help on where I went wrong? (btw this macro is bound to F5)

#showtooltip
/use [nomod,outdoors,nomounted,flyable] Blue Windrider; [nomod,outdoors,nomounted] Swift Orange Raptor
/use[mod:shift,outdoors,nomounted] Swift Orange Raptor
/cast [mod:ctrl,nomounted,combat] Ghost
Wolf
/dismount [mod:alt,mounted]

Wind Rider not Windrider. Changed since last patch.

/cast [combat]Ghost Wolf
/run if IsMounted() then Dismount() return end local t if IsFlyableArea() then t={1} else t={3} end CallCompanion("MOUNT",t[random(#t)])


Thats my macro, the 1 and 3 are the mounts (1 flyable, 3 not) if you have flyable mounts in slots 1,3,5,6 and 8 you put 1,3,5,6,8 where I have one and it will randomly pick.

/cast [flyable] Flying Mount Name ; Normal Mount Name

Works fine for me.

so /castrandom should work the same as well, no?

Okay... now I'm just plain frustrated beyond belief... I tried changing the mount key to "B" (I use "I" for my inventory lol) and I edited the macro a bit more to see if it would make it work... Here's what it looks like:

#showtooltip
/cast [nomod,outdoors,nomounted,flyable] Blue Wind Rider
/cast [nomod,outdoors,nomounted] Swift Orange Raptor
/cast [mod:shift,outdoors,nomounted] Swift Orange Raptor
/cast [mod:ctrl,nomounted,combat] Ghost Wolf
/dismount [mod:alt,mounted]

I thought giving everything it's own line might work, but nope. No matter what I do it mounts me, unless I'm mounted already then it dismounts me inch: Anyone have any ideas? Because I really do want a working mount macro, and I would prefer it to be one I can spam without worrying about have some mounted and some dismounted

i'd just like to say it could be the order. lol

/dismount [mounted]
/cast [mod:shift, noflyable] Swift Orange Raptor; [mod:ctrl] Ghost Wolf;[combat] Ghost Wolf; [flyable] Blue Wind Rider

This will put you in ghost wolf when in combat since all other options will not work.
this will put you in swift orange raptor IF you press shift AND in Azeroth.
this will put you in ghost wolf if you press ctrl always.
this will put you in ghost wolf if you are in combat. i am assuming you can ghostwolf in combat.
this will put you in blue wind rider in Outlands.

I would do this, however, and have something similar for my druid.

/dismount [mounted]
/cancelform [form]
/cast [mod:alt, flyable] Blue wind rider; [mod:alt, noflyable] Swift Orange Raptor; [mod:ctrl] Ghost wolf; Ghost wolf

@Ellette - Not sure why this is not working for you. It might be the F5 key, but I don't see why. Try it without ghost wolf and tell me what happens. I will do my best to attempt to make it work for you. It's definitely spammable when it works right.

This is the mount macro I use. It takes up one square on your UI and uses 1 Keybind. I use F7 for activating the macro.

/dismount[mounted]
/cancelform[form]
/cast [mod:alt] Ghost Wolf; [mod:shift] Green Wind rider; Frostwolf Howler

Shift + f7 makes me mount my flyer.
Alt + f7 is my instant ghost wolf.
f7 is my riding mount.

It's real simple to use. Just change the names to whatever mounts you want to use and it will work great.

Thanks Right now I hate not being able to spam my mount key... And while questing if I am just running around and picking up quest items (Olemba Seeds in Terokkar for example inch: ) I have to constantly hit Water Shield when I find what I needed to pick up on one toon so they all dismount at the same time. Otherwise it gets very very annoying having to remount some when others are already mounted :thumbdown:

I think I am going to try to use another key for mounting tho. Maybe that will help lol

I don't have those mounts, but you can make sure you are using the correct mount names by clicking them from your "Mounts" tab to insert them into your Macros, just like clicking spells from your spellbook. Mounts are now on your character tab (shift-P is the default hotkey).

Not sure if this helps or not.

Also, iirc, my mount scripts look more like

/cast [nomounted,flyable] <name of flying mount>; [nomounted] <name of ground mount>
/dismount [modifier:alt]

[edit] I may use /cast or /use above, not sure.

[edit2] the 2nd option may be [nomounted,noflyable]. Obviously, I am spending time away from the game wishing i was in the game
