[Working] Mount Macro!

[Creazil]

Well, "flyable" have been pretty fucked since wotlk aka unable to use your old macro to work in Wintergrasp and Dalaran .. you either had to use modifiers or 2 different macros. The macro below fixes the problem, tho :-) I didn't made the macro, but I think it's really handy

("MOUNT", 1)
You can change number, so it fits your mount - else it'll just take the first mount availeble

/script local m=GetZoneText() if (m=="Dalaran" or m=="Wintergrasp") and (GetSubZoneText()~="Krasus' Landing") then CallCompanion("MOUNT", 1);end
/use [flyable,nomounted] <FLYING MOUNT>; [nomounted] <GROUND MOUNT>
/dismount [mounted]

[Creazil]

Be sure, that the "number" .. lead to a ground mount

My mount interface look like this:

Flying, Ground, Ground, Flying .. So I use "2" in my macro!

I simply split mine into two macro's, but this is good info.

76 now, 85% to 77... I want my fliers back... so bad...

[Creazil]

I did the same, but suddenly I found this

[Tdog]

Meh looks good but I just simply went with

/use [modifier:shift] ground mount; flying mount

[Fuzzyboy]

Meh looks good but I just simply went with

/use [modifier:shift] ground mount; flying mount

Are you INSANE?! Then you'd actually have to think before pressing the button? Unheard of! :-P

i just have alt-1 for ground and alt-2 for flying mounts - works for me :huh:

What I do is have a decision tree like this (pseudocode):

If SHIFT_KEY_DOWN then 
  use GROUND mount
elseif FLYABLE then
   use FLYING mount
else
  use GROUND mount
end

Now, with the dalaran and Wintergrasp, the logic is the same, but the definition of flyable needs to take into account that Dalaran ~= flyable unless in karsus landing, and that Wintergrasp ~= flyable despite the return of the [flyable] value. The OP's macro goes a long way toward this. I just need to add the SHIFT override because sometimes I am somewhere I could fly, but I really don't want to.

Reasons why you might want to walk when you COULD fly:

1) Toon is master in a party with others who can not fly

2) Toon is master in party with others who have slow fliers

I guess I need another condition:

if ALT_KEY_DOWN then
use SLOW flier
end

and If I'm really picky, I suppose I'd add another modifier (CTRL anyone?) so that I could force my slow land mount in case I'm boosing lowbies who only have normal (non-epic) land mounts

if CTRL_KEY_DOWN then
use SLOW GROUND mount
end

Putting all the logic together, the pseudocode is:

If SHIFT_KEY_DOWN then 
  use EPIC GROUND mount
elseif FLYABLE then
  if ALT_KEY_DOWN then
    use SLOW FLYING mount
  else
    use EPIC FLYING mount
  end
else
  if CTRL_KEY_DOWN then
    use SLOW GROUND mount
  else
    use EPIC GROUND mount
  end
end

/script local m=GetZoneText() if (m=="Dalaran" or m=="Wintergrasp") and (GetSubZoneText()~="Krasus' Landing") then CallCompanion("MOUNT", 1);end
/use [flyable,nomounted,nomodifier] <FLYING MOUNT>; [nomounted] <GROUND MOUNT>
/dismount [mounted]

I made one little addition by adding nomodifier [iirc] pressing shift, alt or control will force the use of a ground mount in Northrend and Outland

Great work, thank you.

Thank you to everyone posted the mount macro.

I have use the above macro on my 3 account but 1 of the account keep having this error showing up.

The error message as follows:

[string "local m==GetZoneText() if (m=="Dakara" or m=="Wintergrasp" an...."]:1: unexpected symbol near '=='

==================

I have double check the syntax on that account but still the error message pop up. Any help will be appreciated.

The mount use is Swift Green Mechanostrider and Snowy Gryphon.
