#show macro does not work need help

[Justest]

I changed my group from 5 druids to 1pala, 4 druids.
Now I ve got a problem:
I had a makro for treants, starfall, hurricain with modifier alt,shift etc
Now my pala is main and i always get confused which modifier is for which spell
I wanted to solve the problem with a show makro like this:
#show [nomodifier] treants
#show [modifier:alt] hurricane
#show [modifier:shift] starfall

the problem is this makro does not work with a pala it seems like #show is only for spells of your class or items.
I tested a makro
#show moonfire(Rank2)
it works with my druids but with the pala it does not work

the question is if there is another possebility to make the makro look like hurricane if i press alt etc
I m thinking about someting like using a spell or icon ID if it is possible...
perhaps using the symbols u can choose when creating the makro...
anyone got an idea?

I think the way to do this is to use #show tooltip and put the conditionals in the /cast part of the macro. This used to work for me.

i found 1 mistake in my makro it must be
#show[nomodifier] Hurrikan;[modifier:alt] Naturgewalt;[modifier:ctrl] Sternenregen;[modifier:shift] Taifun

like that it works on a druid but i want it to work on a pala

what this makro does is just schowing an icon depending on the modifier and it works fine with a druid

what i want is to put it on my main, he is pala.
if i put it on my pala it would schow wich spell my druids will cast if i press that button with the specifik modifier

as u can guess my druids have the makro
/cast [nomodifier] Hurrikan
/cast [modifier:alt] Naturgewalt
/cast [modifier:ctrl] Sternenregen
/cast [modifier:shift] Taifun

but the pala is just showin the stupid question mark. i guessed it is because the spells are no pala spells
so i wonder if there is a way to just schow an icon wich is of a druid spell in the pala interface.
the only way i know would be to set the makro button do a specific icon (not the question mark)
with that u cant change the icon via modifier

so i hope there is anoter way
like replacing the word hurrikan (in #show[nomodifier] Hurrikan) with somthing which has the same symbol but can be shown by a pala perhaps items (but how do i find items wich have same icon as spells) or ID (of spell or icon i have no idea what exists)

If you are trying to show druid spell icons on your paladin, you'll have to manually pick each icon from the 'new macro' list. I don't believe there is a way to have it switch between druid icons unless you're on the druid. If you're trying to do this on a druid then....

#show (or #showtooltip) has to be all on 1 line, and at the beginning of the macro.
Personally, I use [mod] instead of [modifier] to prevent typos & save characters

Spells with ranks I believe need to be identified:
Spell(Rank 5)
or
Spell() -this will use the highest rank learned
Spell without ranks only need the spell name, not a rank

So a macro may have the first line like this:
#showtooltip [nomod] SpellA(); [mod:alt] SpellB(); [mod:ctrl] SpellC(); [mod:shift] SpellD()

I don't recall if the separated for each is a semicolon ; or if its just a comma , so try both to be sure.
Can also try taking the [nomod] out of the first spell, but I don't think that'll have the desired results. Might just show SpellA icon for all.

It is a semicolon ;#showtooltip [nomod] SpellA(); [mod:alt] SpellB(); [mod:ctrl] SpellC(); [mod:shift] SpellD()
allready woked on my druids i was just hoping there was a way to schow it with my pala because this would make it much easier to play with him as main char

decided to use bartender4 to solve the problem now it changes bars when holding a modifier... its not perfect but it works

[Ualaa]

You can go with an addon, that physically shows a different bar depending on the mod you press.

But as far as warcraft goes, you can only display either a static icon (from the icon menu) or go with a variable icon (red questionmark) and let #show or #showtooltip control which is displayed, in which case it is a spell of your class or an item you have in inventory.
