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

/script PetAttack(target)

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

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.

stop using pet attack macro binde attack and passive to mousewheel scroll up for attack and down for passive . you will never again have a pet pull acident and you have full controll of pet. and then just ctrl up/down for camera..

I disagree with Adnoctum here: "stop using attack macro binds, because accidents happen!"

I bind petattack to my usual opener and keep a "pet stop attack" macro just in case...
/run PetStopAttack()
/run PetDefensiveMode()
/run PetFollow()

this will make your pet stop attacking, even mid cast, and follow you instead. Switch PetDefensiveMode() to PetPassiveMode() if you prefer

forget the in game macro interface. lua file / mod style for the win. Granted this one specifically relies on some of my own functions but you aren't limited by the in game macro ui.

Code: Select all

function WarlockPetSkinMACRO(drinkslot, foodslot, hearthslot, wandactionbutton)
    if drinkslot == "help" then
        local function lockprint(text)
            DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(text)
        end

        lockprint("Usage:")
        lockprint("Mod Ctrl = Dismiss Pet")
        lockprint("Mod Alt Combat = Health Funnel")
        lockprint("Mod Alt = Use Hearthstone (* hearthstone)")
        lockprint("Mod Shift = Demon Armor / Unending Breath")
        lockprint("Default Friendly Target = Fire Shield (**)")
        lockprint("Default Aggro Target = Send pet (* start wand)")
        lockprint("No mod and no valid target = Drink")
        lockprint("No mod and no valid target if Drink active = Eat")
        lockprint("--")
        lockprint("* = Based on action button location")
        lockprint("** = Requires Imp")
        return
    end

    -- dismiss pet as called
    if IsControlKeyDown() then
        if HasPetUI() then
            PetDismiss()
            return
        end
    end

    -- alt key, combat heals pet
    if IsAltKeyDown() then
        if UnitAffectingCombat("player") == 1 then
            CastSpellByName("Health Funnel")
        else
            UseAction(hearthslot)
        end
        return
    end

    if IsShiftKeyDown() then
        if CheckBuffRemain("Shadow", "RagingScream", "player") < 300 then
            CastSpellByName("Demon Armor")
        else
            if UnitCanCooperate("player", "target") then
                CastSpellByName("Unending Breath")
            else
                if CheckBuffRemain("Shadow", "DemonBreath", "player") < 120 then
                    CastSpellByName("Unending Breath", "player")
                end
            end
        end
        return
    end

    -- friendly target cast flame shield on them if pet is imp
    if UnitCanCooperate("player", "target") then
        local pettype = UnitCreatureFamily("pet")
        if pettype == "Imp" then
            CastSpellByName("Fire Shield")
        end
        return
    end

    if UnitCanAttack("player", "target") and wandactionbutton > 0 then
        wandStart(wandactionbutton)
    end

    -- if have pet send attack / pull back. returns only on attack mode. default is passive
    if HasPetUI() then
        if PetAttackMACRO() then
            return
        end
    end

    -- check status of food and drink. activate as needed
    local drinkexist = CheckBuffRemain("INV", "Drink", "player")
    if drinkexist == 0 then
        if UnitMana("player") < UnitManaMax("player") then
            UseAction(drinkslot)
            return
        end
    end

    local foodexist = CheckBuffRemain("INV", "Fork&Knife", "player")
    if foodexist == 0 then
        if UnitHealth("player") < UnitHealthMax("player") then
            UseAction(foodslot)
            return
        end
    end
end

function PetAttackMACRO()
    if UnitCanAttack("player", "target") then
        PetAttack()
        return true
    end
    PetPassiveMode()
    return false
end
