Getting rid of the ? icon with this macro

Guides UI and Macro
1

Currently, I use this macro to switch between mounts. But when I’m mounted, I see? Icon instead of the mount I’m on. I’m not quite sure why. Does anyone know a fix for this?

Blockquote #showtooltip
/dismount [mounted,noflying]
/use [mod:shift,nomounted][swimming]Azure Water Strider;[mod:alt,nomounted]Grand Expedition Yak;[mod:ctrl,nomounted][flyable,nomounted]Ashenvale Chimaera;[nomounted]Running Wild

That’s not how #showtooltip works. It’s going to show the tooltip that meets conditions at the time. When only thing in the macro for when you are mounted is /dismount. And there isn’t a tooltip for that. Therefore, when you have the condition of mounted met, you won’t see a tooltip, just the “?”.

I’ll let the folks more familiar with the scripting side of things answer if there’s a fix.

You could do this:

#showtooltip
/use [mod:shift][swimming]Azure Water Strider;[mod:alt]Grand Expedition Yak;[mod:ctrl][flyable]Ashenvale Chimaera;Running Wild

The effect of removing the nomounted uses the implied dismount: if I’m on a Ashenvale Chimaera then /use Ashenvale Chimaera will dismount me. However, if I’m on a Ashenvale Chimaera and I do
/use Azure Water Strider, it won’t dismount me but switch me to that mount.

You can also do this

#showtooltip Master Riding
/dismount [mounted,noflying]
/stopmacro [nomounted]
#showtooltip
/use [mod:shift][swimming]Azure Water Strider;[mod:alt]Grand Expedition Yak;[mod:ctrl][flyable]Ashenvale Chimaera;Running Wild

Not 100% sure if it works because I can’t test it. The double showtooltip works for me in other places.

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Azure Water Strider; [mod:alt] Darkwater Skate; [mod:ctrl] Grand Expedition Yak; [noflyable, nomounted] Mekgineer’s Chopper; [flyable, nomounted] Headless Horseman’s Mount;
/dismount [mounted]
/cast Master Riding

Here is mine. The /Cast Master Riding will show the horseshoe when mounted. if you are unmounted, it will show the the icon of the mount based on the [mod].

Only down side is when using /cast Master Riding, a the toon that has learn will see the horseshoe. Toons that have not learned it yet will see the ?.

Using the base riding skill Apprentice Riding, does not work on all toons. Only toon between 20-40 will see the horseshoe. once you buy the next level of training, it will go to a ?.
