There was a macro in a youtube video from October last year that had hunter macros for classic but when I try to run it I get this error. They are listed as Raziya The Ravager’s Amazing Hunter Macros by this person at at 21:38 in this youtube vid
This is the macro
/script if GetUnitName(“target”)==nil then TargetNearestEnemy() end
/run if CheckInteractDistance(“target”, 3) and (not PlayerFrame.inCombat) then AttackTarget() elseif not isAutoRepeatAction(3) then CastSpellByName(“Auto Shot”) end
Classic runs on the legion engine and uses most of the legion API rules. As far as I recall, they blocked macros from being able to check distance and then make choices for the player based on the information.
Basically, Blizzard removed all logic from macros like that. Only the player can make the “If=>Then” decisions. There are some exceptions though, but they mostly don’t have to do with combat.
Damn alot of these macros have them in it and without them it takes ages to tell a pet to do anything and if I right click my character melee attacks as a hunter while i’m miles away from the enemy. Sucks having pet following a mob that’s running away and agroing while i’m trying to move my mouse to a tiny button
You can make more keybinds than the 12 it gives you by default. That way you can have melee or pet attack be a button you press on your keyboard instead of having to click on something since clicking is sometimes wonky when things pile on top of each other or are moving quickly, etc.
And for the shoot problem specifically, under the general section of your spell book, the top tab, that “Auto Shoot” button you referenced in your macro is hiding in there
Also I have some manual dexterity issues so can’t use too many keybinds so I end up having to mouse to and click the auto shoot button if i’m out of mana and not shooting anymore which takes a very long time
Had a razer naga epic a few years ago and the side buttons required so much force to press that any time a button on the side was pressed the mouse moved a few inches on the screen
Did you have it on a mouse pad? Maybe a higher friction one would help or maybe try lowering the mouse sensitivity.
Having boatloads of abilities (and therefore keybinds) is just a part of classic for pretty much every class… I’m actually not sure if any of them can get away with just 2 bars of keybinds (24).
No, as far as I know, the engine is still the legion engine. When you develop a game using an engine, you pick a version and stick with it usually. For example, if you’re using the Unreal Engine, your team might pick 4.21 and by the time you’re done, UE4 might be on 4.27. However, your project will remain on 4.21. You don’t constantly upgrade your game to new versions throughout the development because that leads to a lot of refactoring and breaks.
Yeah I looked around and from what people are gathering, they put in the 8.1 API, but the actual client is somewhere between 7.3.5 and 8.0.1. The fact that classic doesn’t have DX12 or multithreading is definitely the big indicator that it’s not completely BfA though.
That could explain a lot of the bugs and issues that have been arising.
DX12 was asked and answered in an interview. Can’t remember why they don’t want it but it was purposely omitted. Haven’t seen anything commenting on multithreading
Edit: DX12 makes a significant increase in system requirements, that’s what it was
