Did a quick search and couldn’t find anything about it. Is there a command to add a countdown to your Macro’s.
For my priest i’ve got PI set to a simple mouseover macro, but I lose my countdown overlap on the ability bar. Is there a way to add that back in?
I don’t use WA’s or anything to modify my UI of the sorts.
include #showtooltip as the first line in the macro.
I’m an idiot, I had the #showtooltip part, i just forgot to add the name to it. Thanks!
Huh? It’ll automatically pull the correct spell from the /cast [and /use].
Can you post the full macro as you have it now?
I must have simply copy/pasted this one once upon a time. There was a /use [@mouseover] instead of a /cast.
Looking at a few other macros i would have been able to see this difference. Perhaps I need more coffee lol.
But thank you. Either it can work with
#showtooltip
/use
(assuming this one is more for trinkets/special items)
or
#showtooltip
/cast
It’ll also pull the correct tooltip from /use
Updated my previous post.
The biggest practical difference between /cast and /use is that you can’t use /cast with item slot numbers:
/use 14
The tooltip and everything will look right with /cast but it won’t actually use the trinket or whatever slot you’ve assigned.
For some reason it wasnt for me. The prior macro i has was
#showtooltip
/use [@mouseover, exists] Power Infusion
And it wouldnt give me the countdown. But when i did #showtooltip Power Infusion it did.
Also when i did
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, exists] Power Infusion
It also worked. But there was something with my original one where it wouldnt fully work
Because you’ve included exists it’ll only show the correct icon/tooltip when you’re actually mousing over a target. Make sure you’re using the ? for the macro icon, it’ll help you identify issues like that.
If you only want it to work on mouseover you can just use the following (with cast or use):
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover] Power Infusion
Personally, I don’t want to see an error when mousing over an enemy with it so I’d use the following instead
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead] [@none] Power Infusion
/stopspelltarget
Also, if you’re not aware, PI will automatically select a relevant second target if you don’t manually choose one as of the most recent patch.
I didnt have an issue with the tooltip not showing, just the counter for the cd timer
Interesting, you should have.
So for reference for countdown timer only
Worked:
#showtooltip Power Infusion
/use [@mouseover, exists] Power Infusion
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, exists] Power Infusion
Did not work:
#showtooltip
/use [@mouseover, exists] Power Infusion
Should be…
#showtooltip Power Infusion
/use [@mouseover,help] Power Infusion
#showtooltip Power Infusion
/cast [@mouseover,help] Power Infusion
Always shows (because you’re manually setting the tooltip)
#showtooltip
/use [@mouseover,help,nodead] [] Power Infusion
Always shows (because you’re including the default cast option)
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,help] Power Infusion
#showtooltip
/use [@mouseover,help] Power Infusion
Only shows when mousing over someone (because otherwise the macro doesn’t cast a spell)
The icon should also be switching back to the ? when not mousing over something.
Just reporting my findings lol. The ability worked with all 3 ways. I was only able to get the countdown timer to show on one though
Yeah, I just find it interesting. Blizz must be doing some sort of caching.
