Switchable macro sets with variables - Addon - Jamba-Macro

[talpax]

Just few words...

FANTASTIC

I'm using jamba macro as macro generator not only for multi but for any situation.

Maybe a request , a macro export system to move easily the setup.
The push works but sometime is a trouble to move from different pc and accounts

Thanks for your great tool

hi there jafula, frist thx for your awesome work with this addon

now to the point :P , i little new with macros and with your addon, i manage to set up the team, they do the follow they update anything i modify on the master, but i couldnt make macros work. let me told what i did, maybe you or another player could help me. My game its on spanish, but i check macros individualy, for examble on druid i type "/cast [target=calemon] Toque de sanación" and works, so isnt the diferent spelling between languajes.
i set this on core tags



i set those variables for chars and 1 for a healing to test it



and those are the macros



F1 for heal calemon, F2 for krunc and F3 for richart
the macro sets is "heals"



and well, dont work. any idea about why?

In the last screenshot, the macro section, you need to add the variable set Party to the heals macro. To do this type Party into the field Variable Set and press Enter.

Now you need to build the macros, to do this click the Build Macros (Team) button.

It should work now.

A note: you have a tag toon1 and a variable called toon1 (same with toon2 and toon3). You only need the tag on the toon, not the variable, so in your variable section, you could remove the toon1, toon2 and toon3 variables as long as your characters all had toonX tags.

thx for the tips jafula. with your advices this seems to work ... shorta. Now when i press F1 from krunc (Slave,the druid) he cast healing touch on Calemon (pally, master), as intended. but nothing happen if i do it from master.

i try to use next one

/cast [target=#toon1#] #heal#
/cast [target=#toon1#] #pheal#

where "heal" is healing touch and "pheal" is divine light.

when i hit from pall, he heals himself with divine, but druid no nothing, when i cast from druid, druid heals but pally do nothing
the idea is when i use F1, i cast both, pally and druid healings on the pally. F2 do the same, for the druid, and F3 do the same, for the warlock, but somehow, keystrokes dont spread through slaves.
when i manage to do that, ill do the next step, make macros for nuke.

I don't know how to do this easily without writing a third party program. Perhaps you could use the curse client as a premium member, it lets you copy addons (and I think settings) from one PC to another.

I did not read through all the posts following the OP, so I'm sorry if this has been addressed.

I want to be able to change the character a variable points to on the fly.

I use /click on my Paladins.

/click macro:

/click dps macro 1
/click dps macro 2
/click dps macro 3
/click heal tank macro
/stopcasting


Heal Tank Macro:

/cast [target="tank"] Flash of Light

I spam this and the tank is constantly healed whenever Art of War procs. I would like to be able to press a hotkey to change this target as I please, so I can continue spamming the same key, but instead spend the Art of War procs on another character.

Something like:

/cast [target=VARIABLE] Flash of Light

and

F1 -> VARIABLE = "Tank"
F2 -> VARIABLE = "Char2"
F3 -> VARIABLE = "Char3"

etc.

Can this be accomplished?

So i used Macro: Macros to setup the following Macro in Update 8

Macro Set:
Shaman

Macros for Shaman:
Watershield

Macro Usage: /click JMB_Watershield
Macro Name: Watershield
Macro Tag: All
Macro Text: /cast water shield

I've done the following:
In chat: /click JMB_Watershield - Nothing happens
In Macro which is dragged to a button slot: /click JMB_Watershield - Nothing happens
Bound the macro 'j' - nothing happens

I'm not sure what im doing wrong. The character in question has the 'all' tag

Also, /cast water shield works in other macros or typing it into the chat window.



Edit - got it working:

It seems I have to make everything a variable or it doesn't work. In the example above I was only able to get it to work after creating a variable like so:
Variable Set: normal
Variable name: watershield
Variable Value: water shield

Macro Set: Shaman
Macro Name: watershield
Macro Value: /cast #watershield#

is this the expected reaction, or should it work if I type in a basic macro?

[Jafula]

Please get update 9, it contains a bug fix that was stopping the macro stuff from working properly.

You shouldn't need variables to get it to work. Normal macros should be fine. You do need a variable set, even if it is empty.

To get the macros built in order to use them, make sure you click the use button at the top of the Macro: Macros options. You should see the macros being built up in the chat log.

Holy crap batman. So there is no limit to the amount of macros? JAMBA replaces the variables and writes the macros to WoW?

I *have* to give this a shot. I have macros with multiple modifiers in them to reduce the amount of macros I make. With this it would make things much easier as well as the ability to slot in PuGs, add a variable for their name and then they just become part of my rotations.

Neat.

[Jafula]

That's correct Robin; let me know what you think, if anything needs improving, I'd like to know! If you cannot work it out, please post here and I'll help you out.

I use it exclusively now for my teams, I have all the macros bound to keys, which means that when I add a new toon, I don't need to update any keybindings. The toon automatically gets a trade macro, mount macro, follow macro, master switching macro and depending on what class, various dps / heal macros.

I'd love to know what you are using it for.
