So here’s what I’m trying to do:

I wanna make a macro which would yell “I would like to RAGE!” whenever I use the DI dwarf ability Fireblood. But I would also like to not have it be spammable. I would like to make it so that it only yells that when it’s not on cooldown.

Here’s the problem, I used to have a macro like this on my paladin (similar, but different) but I have no idea how I wrote it. Reasonably sure I asked for help from a buddy who actually knows how to write these things.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

#showtooltip
/cast Fireblood(Racial)

is what I have so far. IIRC, the other macro in question had an if statement, something like

/run if GetSpellCooldown(“ABILITY”) == 0 and IsXKeyDown() then

Edit: I combined the two. I removed the “and isxkeydown(” bit. This is what I got:

#showtooltip
/run if GetSpellCooldown(“Fireblood(Racial)”) == 0) then
/yell I would like to RAGE!"
/cast Fireblood(Racial)

which produced a LUA error, and doesn’t restrict it based on cooldown (PS I’m testing this by myself inside the stockades dungeon, so I’m not bugging people)

Edit2:
I removed some of the quotes and looked at some other posts on this subject.
The result is as follows:

#showtooltip
/run if GetSpellCooldown(Fireblood(Racial)) == 0) then SendChatMessage(“I would like to RAGE!”,“yell”)end
/cast Fireblood(Racial)

Specifically:
-I removed the quotes inside the parenthesis on ‘GetSpellCooldown’
-I removed the /yell and exchanged that ‘then SendChatMessage(“I would like to RAGE!”,“yell”)end’
-it now no longer yells “I would like to RAGE” when Fireblood is on cooldown. BUT it still produces a LUA error.

Edit 3:
secondary testing indicates that the new macro only activates the ability, and does not yell anything.

Automated SAY and YELL messages are blocked outside of instances

If you use WeakAuras, you could create a really simple aura for this. Trigger Type would be Combat Log, Prefix: Spell, Suffix: Cast Success, Source: Player, Spell Name: Fireblood. If its something you only care to see yourself and you don’t want to annoy your fellow players, then you can play around with using a Text or Icon. But if you really want to pester your fellow players, go to the Actions tab, under On Show, check Chat Message and enter what you want.

The weak aura would fire only when you successfully cast the spell (no need to put code in the macro), you would either see your custom message yourself or you would spam everyone in the instance.
