Maccro + WA

[primal comet]

hi! I have a question, maybe it's more of a WA topic but ill still give a try, I have the WA that give top PI target in the group, is it possible to make a weakaura that would retrieve this command's result and modify my maccro according to it ?

[round elk]

you mean modify the macro mid fight ?

it could create a glow on the unitframe though so you'd just need to mouseover cast pi

I think he means more like at the start of the dungeon

from what it looks like in that screenshot there

[round elk]

but does it really make sense just locking on a target once ? as most of the time it is situational to give pi no ?

[static osprey]

99% of people dont care

[round elk]

but if it's your goal to just edit once then yes it works

[static osprey]

and if its a 2min class, then it fits anyways

[static osprey]

what's the wa you use there

[primal comet]

it's not midfight, it's before the dj

[primal comet]

yes exactly

local macroText = "#showtooltip Power Infusion\n/use Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power\n/cast [@%s,help,nodead][] Power Infusion\n/cast Blood Fury(Racial)\n/cast Void Bolt\n/cast Vampiric Embrace"


local macroIndex = 1
local macroID = EditMacro(macroIndex, nil, nil, string.format(macroText, "playerNameHere"))

you just need to get the macroIndex and change the 1 to your id from the macroIndex Variable and then just put the name at "playerNameHere"

https://wago.io/v6lc9KZHK I use this one

ok ill check tyh

[primal comet]

macroIndex = macro name ?

[round elk]

no macro index = macro index

get the addon IDTIP

or type following in chat /dump GetMacroIndexByName("Your Macro Name Here")

IdTip is always great to have though not only for macro Ids

[primal comet]

alright ty

mh I tried to figure it out but I couldn't, im too noob at it

my macro isn't getting modified, I tried to tweak it a bit but I couldn't figure it out

[primal comet]

local macroText = "#showtooltip Power Infusion\n/use Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power\n/cast [@%s,help,nodead][] Power Infusion\n/cast Blood Fury(Racial)\n/cast Void Bolt\n/cast Vampiric Embrace"


local macroIndex = 20


local function UpdateMacro(playerName)

    EditMacro(macroIndex, nil, nil, string.format(macroText, playerName))
end


local function OnChatMessage(self, event, msg, sender, ...)
    -- Extract the player name from the chat message
    local playerName = string.match(msg, "pi2")
    if playerName then

        UpdateMacro(playerName)
    end
end

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")

frame:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_PARTY")

frame:SetScript("OnEvent", OnChatMessage)

Afaik weakauras have disabled the EditMacro function to avoid scams etc

I have a secondary macro that i press that swaps my pi macro to whatever my mouseover is, so if you are ok with looking at what your WA outputted and do it manually with mouseover + macro press thats the way

[primal comet]

yes sure that would be a nice one aswell
