How to force a specific spell with #showtooltip

Guides UI and Macro
1

So the goal is to cast Thunder Focus Tea and Renewing Mist. The macro functions just fine but displays the tooltip for TFT when I would like to see Renewing on the tooltip. If anyone is able to offer some help on forcing it to display the Renewing tooltip I would be most appreciative!

#Showtooltip Renewing Mist
/cast Thunder Focus Tea
/cast Renewing Mist

Pick the ? for the icon.

#showtooltip Renewing Mist
/cast Thunder Focus Tea
/cast Renewing Mist

Yeah, did that from the getgo so that isn’t the issue.

Remove the Renewing Mist after #showtooltip

#showtooltip
/cast Thunder Focus Tea
/cast Renewing Mist

Or specify Thunder Focus Tea

#showtooltip Thunder Focus Tea
/cast Thunder Focus Tea
/cast Renewing Mist

edit: I misread. Yours should show Renewing mist. Not sure why it would show TFT.

Looks like you have a capital S on showtooltip. Maybe it has to be lower case?

I’m not sure why it should matter, but just changing to a lowercase S made the macro work as expected. Thank you!

I just tested this macro on my monk healer. It does show Renewing Mist as the icon/ tooltip.

I know this is late to the game, but I may have found the answer.
I wanted to use it for my Macro to show Crusader Strike as Tooltip only (you know to see the mana cost, etc) . I tried moving the #showtooltip down the list just above the spell I want to it to show for and it works!

Here’s my macro:
/startattack
#showtooltip
/cast Crusader Strike
/use Bladefist’s Breadth

Here’s what the Macro in question above could be:
/cast Thunder Focus Tea
#showtooltip
/cast Renewing Mist

Cheers

First off, #showtooltip should always be the first line, when present. And 2nd, yes.

#showtooltip
/startattack
/cast Crusader Strike
/use Bladefist's Breadth

#showtooltip Renewing Mist
/cast Thunder Focus Tea
/cast Renewing Mist
