Pet attack macro?

[Zeroanjel]

is there a macro that we can use to cast a spell and have your pet attack without clicking the attack button?? Thanks

Here are all the normal pet hotkeys in Vanilla macro format:

Code: Select all

PetAggressiveMode() - Set your pet in aggressive mode.
PetAttack()         - Instruct your pet to attack your target.
PetStopAttack()     - Stop the attack of the pet.
PetDefensiveMode()  - Set your pet in defensive mode.
PetFollow()         - Instruct your pet to follow you.
PetPassiveMode()    - Set your pet into passive mode.
PetWait()           - Instruct your pet to remain still.

And here's a couple of random examples of what you're asking for:

Use Wand + Pet Attack

Code: Select all

/run --CastSpellByName("Shoot")
/run PetAttack(); CastSpellByName("Shoot") end

Cycle Immolate, Corruption, and Shadow Bolt + Pet Attack

Code: Select all

/run --CastSpellByName("Immolate")
/run PetAttack(); local c=CastSpellByName; if IsShiftKeyDown() or n==0 then c("Immolate") n=1; elseif n==1 then c("Corruption") n=2 else c("Shadow Bolt") end

(You have to hold Shift to reset the "castsequence" counter on this one.)

I originally had my pet attack mapped to my spells but found this messed up, pulling more mobs and maintaining agro on specific ones. I ended up making the pet attack a separate button for more control.

I can see the macros being nice in dungeons though to avoid having to keep telling your pet to attack. I wish there was a way to tell the pet to attack my target if not already engaged.
