Druid macros just don't work

[Anythinggoes]

I went searching for vanilla macros on YouTube. Literally, nothing works! NOTHING!
I searched around these very forums and while a few macros suggested here DID work, most did not.
I am no macro god, but even I can copy and paste a macro properly and have done so many times before. Either I have forgotten how to copy/paste or vanilla macros don't work on this server.

Is there anyone kind enough to suggest a solution to any of the following:

1)Macro to get you out of any form, change you to another, and allow you to cast certain abilities of the new form? For example, make you leave cat form, go bear, and use Feral Charge. Or to make you leave bear, go cat and use Prowl. And no, /cancelform does not work. At least for me.

2)Macro to make you leave any form and cast Rejuvenation on yourself or to your mouseover target. Do mouseover macros work in base vanilla?

I would also download roidmacros or supermacro to go along with the above

No.
But for this you can install the Classicmousever addon.

Bear Form + Feral Charge
/script local C,N,A,X="Bear Form";for X=1,GetNumShapeshiftForms()do _,N,A=GetShapeshiftFormInfo(X)if A==1 then A=X;break;end;end;if N==C then CastSpellByName("Feral Charge")else if A then CastShapeshiftForm(A)else CastSpellByName(C)end;end;

Dire Bear Form + Feral Charge
/script local C,N,A,X="Dire Bear Form";for X=1,GetNumShapeshiftForms()do _,N,A=GetShapeshiftFormInfo(X)if A==1 then A=X;break;end;end;if N==C then CastSpellByName("Feral Charge")else if A then CastShapeshiftForm(A)else CastSpellByName(C)end;end;

Cat Form + Prowl

Thanks for your replies. Made my druidic life a lot easier.

Unfortunately, the macros provided by Ulukay did not do it for me. Bear form+charge, for example, I get this message:

[string " local C, N, A,X = "Bear Form" "for X=1, GetNumShapeshiftForms()do _,N..." ]:1: unexpected symbol near '<eof>'

Are you putting the macros in supermacro/roid macros or are you putting them in the regular macro tab?

[Anythinggoes]

Regular. My bad, never used that addon. Appreciated.

I hope you're not trying to copy "Bear Form + Feral Charge"?
If you do it right, it should work. Otherwise, you have some kind of problem with the addon or client.

Are you putting the macros in supermacro/roid macros or are you putting them in the regular macro tab?

I've written these macros with usage in mind without addons.

[Anythinggoes]

Did not copy those. I'll see what went wrong by trial and error.

[Anythinggoes]

The macros worked! I swear I wasn't dumb enough to copy the titles in the macros, but it is all great now! Ulukay macro god detected.

Let me ask for one last "boon", so to say.

3)A macro that could get you out of any form and cast Moonfire, followed by Insect Swarm. I think I spotted a macro on these forums that allowed the user to track the duration of the Moonfire dot and reapply it if the duration was out. The problem is, that it could not get you out of form.

4)Working powershift macro? Tried several found on the forums, but the best I found, I had to click 2 times - 1 click to get me out of the current form and another click to enter it again. Is that how it is supposed to function in vanilla? Can't transition from one form to another without going caster first?

5)Lastly a macro to use Pounce in stealth and Shred out of it.

This is possible, but to use such a macro you will have to use the addon to increase the number of characters of the macro, since it will not be small.
I couldn't do less:
/script local C,N,A,X=CastSpellByName;local function DB(N,T)if UnitExists("target")then for X=1,32 do T=UnitDebuff("target",X);if not T then X=32;else if strfind(T,N)then return T;end;end;end;end;end;for X=1,GetNumShapeshiftForms()do _,N,A=GetShapeshiftFormInfo(X)if A==1 then CastShapeshiftForm(X)break;end;end;if not A then if not DB("FaerieFire")then C("Faerie Fire")else if not DB("InsectSwarm")then C("Insect Swarm")end; end; end;

The Turtle's server is designed in such a way that there is a global cooldown for the use of abilities. Therefore, there is no other option to change the shape other than to use double-tapping.

5)Lastly a macro to use Pounce in stealth and Shred out of it.

/script local X,T;for X = 1,32 do T=UnitBuff("player",X);if not T then X=32;else if strfind(T,"Ability_Ambush")then X=32;end;end;end;if T then CastSpellByName("Pounce");else CastSpellByName("Shred");end;

Thank you, sir! You saved me A LOT of headaches.

Sorry to necro, but this thread has been so good I cannot help but continue it. I tried to make a similar thread on the mage forums for damage spells, but it was nowhere near as useful. The suggestions there did not work for me.

Any macro to cast different spells/spell ranks with modifiers? Like press shift and cast rank 1 Healing Touch and max rank HT without shift? Something similar for Moonfire?

Check here viewtopic.php?p=88524#p88524
Edit: I just realized you're the OP of that thread lol. Did those suggestions not work out for you?

[Anythinggoes]

No, they did not. I even have roid macros installed, just in case, with Mouseover addon disabled.

[Ulukay]

Like press shift and cast rank 1 Healing Touch and max rank HT without shift?

Why do this, so as not to heal whiter than necessary?
Alternatively, you can put spells of different levels in different slots and place them with modifiers without using macros.

Good enough for healing spells but with limited bar space, having modifier macros on damage spells is a complete game-changer for me.

[Ibux]

make sure you don't have the modified key bound to something else. or the macro will probably not work.

You still haven't said what the first rank spell is for.

Maybe I'll just give you a macro written by myself and that I've always used?! It doesn't require modifier presses and uses the required ranks, depending on the lack of health. But to use it, you will need an addon like Supermacro.
-Rank based on the player's level, mana, and the target's missing health. With the Alt pressed, "Nature's Swiftness" is used-
/script local UL,UM,UT,AH=UnitLevel,UnitMana;local function GotSpell(spell,rank) local ix,spellName,spellRank;if not spell then spell="Nature's Swiftness";rank="";end;for ix=1,200 do spellName,spellRank=GetSpellName(ix,"spell") if spellName==nil then return;else if spellName==spell and spellRank==rank then if GetSpellCooldown(ix,"spell")==0 then return true; else return; end;end;end;end;end;local function BIF() return buffed("Clearcasting")=="buff" end;if UL("target")==0 or UnitCanAttack("player","target") then UT="player";else UT="target";end;AH=UnitHealthMax(UT)-UnitHealth(UT);if not IsAltKeyDown() or BIF() or not GotSpell() then if UL("player")>59 and ((UM("player")>799 and AH>2267) or BIF()) and GotSpell("Healing Touch","Rank 11") then CastSpellByName("Healing Touch(Rank 11)"); else if UL("player")>55 and ((UM("player")>719 and AH>1890) or BIF()) and GotSpell("Healing Touch","Rank 10") then CastSpellByName("Healing Touch(Rank 10)"); else if UL("player")>49 and ((UM("player")>599 and AH>1516) or BIF()) and GotSpell("Healing Touch","Rank 9") then CastSpellByName("Healing Touch(Rank 9)"); else if UL("player")>43 and ((UM("player")>494 and AH>1199) or BIF()) and GotSpell("Healing Touch","Rank 8") then CastSpellByName("Healing Touch(Rank 8)"); else if UL("player")>37 and ((UM("player")>404 and AH>936) or BIF()) and GotSpell("Healing Touch","Rank 7") then CastSpellByName("Healing Touch(Rank 7)"); else if UL("player")>31 and ((UM("player")>334 and AH>742) or BIF()) and GotSpell("Healing Touch","Rank 6") then CastSpellByName("Healing Touch(Rank 6)"); else if UL("player")>25 and ((UM("player")>269 and AH>572) or BIF()) and GotSpell("Healing Touch","Rank 5") then CastSpellByName("Healing Touch(Rank 5)"); else if UL("player")>19 and ((UM("player")>184 and AH>363) or BIF()) and GotSpell("Healing Touch","Rank 4") then CastSpellByName("Healing Touch(Rank 4)"); else if UL("player")>13 and ((UM("player")>109 and AH>195) or BIF()) and GotSpell("Healing Touch","Rank 3") then CastSpellByName("Healing Touch(Rank 3)"); else if UL("player")>7 and ((UM("player")>54 and AH>88) or BIF()) and GotSpell("Healing Touch","Rank 2") then CastSpellByName("Healing Touch(Rank 2)"); else if UL("player")>0 and ((UM("player")>24 and AH>37) or BIF()) and GotSpell("Healing Touch","Rank 1") then CastSpellByName("Healing Touch(Rank 1)"); else CastSpellByName("Healing Touch(Rank 1)");end;end;end;end;end;end;end;end;end;end;end;else CastSpellByName("Nature's Swiftness");end;

Amazing macro, but I need something much more simple. Honestly, using one button to cast max rank Healing Touch and lower rank for mana efficiency is great, but having the ability to use a single button for 2 or more damage spells is what I want.

For example: Without modifiers it casts Starfire. With modifier casts Wrath. Another modifier and does Hurricane. Something like that.

And no, I unbound shift to avoid bar switching, but the previously suggested macros don't work for me.

Mr. Ulukay, you truly have a gift for that kind of thing. I am only sorry I can't endorse your posts in these forums. Honestly, this thread should get a pin or something for how much useful information it provides.

[Ulukay]

Mr. Ulukay, you truly have a gift for that kind of thing.

I think it's not about the gift, at least not only. I studied this, as needed, for three years. I studied new opportunities, complemented and updated my own macros. I took ready -made solutions from the Internet, took them apart, studied them, remaking to my needs.
Here is a useful site that has given me useful information on more than one occasion to explore specific features, their effects, and capabilities. Be careful that not all the features presented there are supported by the vanilla version of WoW.

Hmm, let's see this lesson put to use. I have this macro:

/script if IsShiftKeyDown() then CastSpellByName(" Pyroblast (Rank 1)") else CastSpellByName("Fireball") end

It works just fine. However, when I try this:

/script if IsShiftKeyDown() then CastSpellByName(" Frostbolt (Rank 1)") else CastSpellByName("Frostbolt") end

It doesn't work (max rank Frostbolt is casted, but not rank 1). I compared those macros in Notepad, and cannot see a mistake, yet the first one works and the second one doesn't. Does it have anything to do with being different rank of the same spell?

CastSpellByName("Frostbolt(Rank 1)") - There should be no extra characters or spaces.
If you open the spellbook and the macro window, and then click on the Shift+Right Mouse Button, a line with the spell command will be written to the macro window. For example, /cast Moonfire(Rank 1) - you need to copy Moonfire(Rank 1) to put in quotation marks "", in your macro CastSpellByName("Moonfire(Rank 1)")

I advise you to use notepad++. There's LUA syntax highlighting.

[Anythinggoes]

Done. Once more, I appreciate your time and effort Ulukay.

More necro!

I have to say that using addons like ShaguTweaks pretty eliminated the need for macros that get you out of forms. One tick on the top right corner of the menu and the problem is solved. (I'm adding this in case someone reads the thread looking for tips).

I have been suggested this macro for mouseover healing in another thread:

/run i=(GetMouseFocus().unit) if i then CastSpellByName("Rejuvenation") SpellTargetUnit(i) else CastSpellByName("Rejuvenation") end

It doesn't work. Is it me or is the problem with the macro?

GetMouseFocus works for standard character frames. Not target in the world.

For targets in the world, you need the ClassicMouseover addon or similar.
