Having trouble with Incinerate/Infernal Bolt macro

So, I am here after many frustrating hours of trying to figure out if I can fix a macro I used up until it broke recently.

I had been using a macro to cast Incinerate on an enemy whenever I do not have a target selected, but the macro stops working because the spell it is for - Incinerate - sometimes changes to Infernal Bolt. When that happens, it will no longer work.

#showtooltip
/targetenemy [noharm]
/cast [noknown:Incinerate]Infernal Bolt;Incinerate

This is what I had been using for a long time. When Infernal Bolt broke it, I tried using this

#showtooltip
/targetenemy [noharm]
/cast [noknown:Incinerate]Infernal Bolt;Incinerate

This did not work, and I tried fiddling with it a few times in different variations and none of them worked. With the above macro, it would start casting on an enemy even if I had no target, but as soon as Infernal Bolt procs, the macro stops working and I stand there like a buffoon.

This has me pulling my hair out, and I hate asking for help, but at this point I am stumped. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

The macro above is working for me

Which one of the two?

They’re identical?

That they are, I did not properly copy the second macro into the post. Regardless, that still does not work for me, and I cannot figure out why. Knowing that it works for other’s with no issue is strange

You sure it’s on your bars?

100% certain. I have even isolated it to its own bar that I click instead of binding it to a button.

Keep meaning to test this on my warlock and then forgetting to…

Ok, I found the optimal fix.

#showtooltip
/targetenemy [noharm]
/cast Shadow Bolt

Shadow Bolt becomes Incinerate for Destro, and that’s the spell Inferno Bolt is mutating, not Incin.

You absolute and utter madlad. You undeniable genius. If I could hug you right now, I would. Honestly dude, thank you so much. Let’s run a dungeon together later or something??

Thank you, I ended up using part of your script. I had recently switched from Demonology to Destruction and was having this same issue. It took awhile for me to figure out how to put it together since I like to add a shift modifier in mine. Blizzard makes it harder and harder for people like me to use all the damn buttons. If anyone who is using modifiers this may help them. I’m using this and it seems to work so far:

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Conflagrate
/cast [nomod] Incinerate
/targetenemy [noharm]
/cast [noknown:Incinerate]Infernal Bolt

Incinerate and Infernal bolt are both spell overrides of shadowbolt so casting shadowbolt will cast either incinerate or infernal bolt depending on which one is active. Just take what elvenbane already posted

#showtooltip
/targetenemy [noharm]
/cast Shadow Bolt

and slide that mod:shift conflagrate cast on in there to get

#showtooltip
/targetenemy [noharm]
/cast [mod:shift] Conflagrate; Shadow Bolt
