Bartender or Trinity

[Djarid]

but when I try to clone a bar or add/remove buttons the damn bar disappears, never to be seen again.

Been there, done that! When this happens notice the x,y coordinates in the bar config window. I've often seen that the new bar was hiding off screen. You can just type in new coordinates and press enter to get the bar to where you can see it.

also a key thing to remember is that there are different types of bar... a pet bar for example can't be cloned

I tried out trinity when I first started leveling my characters. It seemed very complex and honestly, I decided to go back to bartender.

Are there any tutorials or guides on how to use trinity for the ADD folks like myself?

Wow, never paid attention tot he X,Y thing, I'm going to go and try to use it again, I like the idea of extended Macros and Macros assign to buttons etc...

Thanks for the tip!

Can i ask someone to post a macro that is "too long" for Blizzards macros that you USE ? im just wondering why you would need longer macros hehe.

My 5 warlocks have the best one. This is my "petattack" button

#showtooltip
/target [target=focustarget,harm,nodead][target=party1target,harm,nodead]
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("target", 8);
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/petautocastoff [pet:succubus,target=focus,noexists] Seduce
/cast [pet:felguard,target=focus,harm,nodead][pet:felguard,harm,nodead] Intercept
/dismount [harm,nodead]
/cast [nocombat,pet:imp,target=hukmoth,help,nodead][nocombat,pet:imp,target=jhuudhun,help,nodead] Fire Shield
/stopmacro [pet:imp]
/petattack [target=focus,harm,nodead][harm,nodead]
/petautocaston [pet:succubus,target=focus,harm,nodead] Seduce
/cast [pet:succubus,target=focus,harm,nodead] Seduce
/cast [target=focus,harm,nodead,nocombat] Curse of Weakness
/cast [pet:felhunter,target=vyndree,help,nodead] Devour Magic
/cast [pet:felhunter,target=vyndryy,help,nodead] Devour Magic
/cast [pet:felhunter,target=hukmoth,help,nodead][pet:felhunter,target=jhuudhun,help,nodead] Devour Magic
/cast [pet:felhunter,target=player] Devour Magic
/cast [pet:felhunter,target=vyndrie,help,nodead] Devour Magic
/cast [pet:felhunter,target=vyndrii,help,nodead] Devour Magic
/cast [pet:felhunter,target=vyndrei,help,nodead] Devour Magic
/cast [pet:felhunter,target=vyndre,help,nodead] Devour Magic

THAT is another reason why I use Trinity.

/me looks up.....

I just finally got trinity set up on one of my characters, and I was going to ask.

"Now that I've got trinity set up, the next question is WHAT to put in all those buttons?"

JEBUS! i had no idea macros could get that complex!

It basically just does the specific pet abilities depending on which pet I have out.

First it establishes a target -- either my focus, if I have an enemy focused, or my focustarget (if I'm using focus to establish my leader), or my party leader's target.

If it's an imp, its job is to buff the tank (hukmoth -- voidwalker, or if hukmoth is not out it goes for jhuudhun, my felguard). It also stops the macro so that the imp will not start attacking, since I want it to stay phase shifted.
If it's a succubus, it turns on auto-cast seduce if and only if I have an enemy focus'ed.
If it's a felpuppy, it attempts to dispel magic from each character in order of "importance" (first my main or my level 70 priest, then goes down the line)
If it's a felguard, it attempts to charge/intercept.

It also sets a "skull" icon on the thing I'm attacking.

Also, if I'm dismounted, my pets won't attack. So dismount if I'm mounted so that my pets appear.


It's a really beefy macro, but only because it's supposed to handle ALL the pets I could ever possibly have out. If I split it into a macro per pet, then that would also work -- but I'd have to make sure I always summoned the same pet or I'd have to update the macro.

can I nick that? ^^ I started working on something similar a little while ago, but gave up after I never got it to work! :S then it turned out it wasn't down to the macro, but down to the names of my characters :S never use the letter æ in any of ur names :S
