Macro question - Does ayone know if it is possible to write a macro to dismount and enter stealth? That would be really handy for PvP. It seems like it should be possible since is really canceling a skill and not starting one.

Macro question - I have seen on occasion people for sale with a clickable link that lists all of the they are selling. I'm told it's a macro that does this, but can anyone tell me what the macro is or where I can find it? Thanks ..

Question about a macro... - Ok, here's my plan...a simple macro to cast Hunter's Mark and then have my pet attack. But the problem I foresee is this: when I send my pet in to attack, I usually don't target the mob first, I just point myself toward it and the pet will..

Another macro question - My priest has three and I'd like to switch them out every once in a while when at the AH or some other place, so I wrote a simple macro. When she had only two dresses this worked fine: /equip Red

Macro question - Could use some help with a macro... What I want to do is activate an AP boosting trinket after casting Cheap Shot. This one activates the trinket (and takes me out of stealth) even if my target is out of range for Cheap Shot - not good. ..

Post subject: Macro Question.
Archived from groups: alt>games>warcraft (more info?)
I've been toying with the macro creator for the 1st time. I want to make 2
macros for my mage, 1 that cast all the buffs for beastslaying (Arcane
Intellect, Ice Armor, Combustion, & Amply Magic) and 1 that cast buffs for
PVP (Arcane Intellect, Mage Armor, Combustion, & Dampen Magic). Problem
is, the macro cast AI (it's first in the list) but doesn't wait for AI to
finish before casting the others. This means IA, Comb, and AM never get
cast. The error message says, "Another action is already in progress" 3
times.

How do I set up the macro so it waits for the previous spell to finish
before starting the next cast? Here is a copy of the current one:

/cast Arcane Intellect(Rank 4);
/cast Ice Armor(Rank 3);
/cast Combustion;
/cast Amply Magic(Rank 4);

TIA

I don't do macro's myself really. Probably should. But as I
understand it, you'll never be able to get all those cast with just
one key press. The best you can do is have one button that you press
4 times to get them cast. So you'll only need the one button on the
UI instead of four, (or in your case, 2 instead of 6).

Someone who's uptodate with Macro's can point out how it's done.

You can't. In general, a macro can only cast one spell.

Your only option is to use a castsequence, and click the macro once
per each spell in the sequence.

I'll second the recommendation for SmartBuff. Not only will you be able to buff
yourself with (repeated presssings of) one key, but you can buff your party the
same way, and it will give you reminders when the buffs run out. Very useful
for any class that can buff.

That's correct. You can't stack multiple spells in one macro, for obvious
reasons.

Something like
/castsequence Arcane Intellect,ice armor,combustion,amplify magic

would do what the OP wants, in four clicks of the same button. *
