I have a just for fun macro I’ve been using for a long time that posts a random quote from the Sith Code to /say when I use Empower Rune Weapon, but tonight during raid it instead gave an error every time I clicked it that was somehow not suppressed by BugSack : *** ForceTaint_Strong *** has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI.
There are no addons involved in this at all, but is this a side-effect of Blizzard’s overly heavy handed nuking of addons? If so, is there an alternate way to accomplish the same thing without getting errors? The macro in question is this:
#showtooltip Empower Rune Weapon
/run local t={“Peace is a lie, there is only passion”, “Through passion, I gain strength”, “Through strength, I gain power”, “Through power, I gain victory”,} SendChatMessage(t[random(#t)],“say”)
/cast Empower Rune Weapon
I have been getting the same thing with a VERY simple macro that sets a raid icon above a targeted mob. This macro in particular does it for a daily cooking quest in Orgrimmar where I target the muddy crawfish and put a skull over their head so that they are easier to see.
/cleartarget
/tar muddy
/run SetRaidTarget(“target”, 8)
This macro has worked flawlessly since Cataclysm, but now it appears to be completely broken by the same bug/error that you described:
” ForceTaint_Strong — has been blocked from an action to the Blizzard UI. You can disable this addon and reload the UI.
[ Disable ] [ Ignore ]”
Sadly, all that I can do is click ignore ~or~ disable because there is no addon. It is simply a macro that I have on my action bar.
EDIT: To clarify, this is not a problem with an existing addons as the error comes up even with ZERO addons enabled / all addons disabled.
/cleartarget
/tar muddy
/tm 8
