Are these types of script allowed?

[emps]

This script detects your "proc" and casts a spell based on its presence:

/run if UnitBuff("player", "Slam!") then CastSpellByName("Slam") end


This script checks your rage amount and casts a specific spell accordingly:

/run if UnitPower("Player") > 60 then CastSpellByName("Cleave") end



I would think they borderline what's acceptable and what's not. I'm uncertain whether these are even operational as we speak as I'm just browsing around and chanced on these scripts. There's a few more of them but these two stand out. It feels like the script itself is too smart to be allowed and if so could potentially be actionable by Blizzard..?

No. You can't run if/then statements like that.

[Poyzon]

CastSpellByName() is a protected function that can only be called from Blizzard code.

We could do really crazy things if those were possible....

I think its better we can't do this

Used to be possible, but got fixed.

i used it on a kitty druid in naxx and ulduar... it was amazing pressing 1 button and being top dps.

i think castbyspellname was the premise on the old "healer"-turned-healbot mod and the previous script for the old decursive actually. hrm.

exactly, but more importantly, for the macro to decide to cast on someone only if they had a debuff(decursive) or an amount of lost health(healbot).
