Macro help Nomounted not working?

Guides UI and Macro
1

I’m getting some weird errors suddenly.

I’ve had this macro a while and it still works perfectly :slight_smile:
#showtooltip Hearthsteed
/castrandom [nomounted] Valarjar Stormwing, Vulpine Familiar, Hearthsteed, Thundering August Cloud Serpent, Thundering Ruby Cloud Serpent, Island Thunderscale, Priestess’ Moonsaber, sylverian dreamer,
/dismount

But when I copy it, and replace the mounts with others, suddenly it’s not working without problems. I’ve made sure to remove any unusual names, with comas or dashes, but the macro keeps randomly getting stuck. I’ve tried making sure all the words are capitalized and I’ve tried lower case.

I’m also getting an error when I log in that reads: Unknown macro option: Nomounted.

Can anyone help?

The comma on the very end of the castrandom line may be causing problems. Not sure why nomounted is being flagged as an unknown command.

Is the macro above exactly as you have it in-game?

Mmm. I did copy paste it, but the forums seem to have added some spaces. When I put it in notepad there’s no spaces or line breaks.

put `x3 (key to the left of 1) on the line above and below the macro code

Ah I see neat. Okay this is what I’ve got.

/castrandom [nomounted] Valarjar Stormwing, Vulpine Familiar,  Hearthsteed,  Thundering August Cloud Serpent, Thundering Ruby Cloud Serpent, Island Thunderscale, Priestess' Moonsaber, sylverian dreamer, /dismount ```

It’s bugging out for me after a few successful casts, not sure why.

#showtooltip Hearthsteed
/castrandom [nomounted] Valarjar Stormwing, Vulpine Familiar,  Hearthsteed,  Thundering August Cloud Serpent, Thundering Ruby Cloud Serpent, Island Thunderscale, Priestess' Moonsaber, Sylverian Dreamer
/dismount [mounted]

Yup it works fine and then suddenly bugs out and only works again when I /reload. And yet when I test out my original macro I don’t hit any issues.

I’ve encountered intermittent problems with [nomounted] also. So I use a work around that works for me. I know it looks like it would dismount you and remount with one button but it works like a toggle.

/dismount [mounted]
/use Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth

But that can’t summon more than one mount tho?

I suspect the issue is the castrandom not the nomounted
I’d recommend trying this instead

I re-tried using /castrandom and found that its buggy as heck for me. I have found /userandom to work just fine as an alternative. As i said previously i have encountered intermittent issues with [nomounted]. This has been a problem for me even when i’ve deleted all my addons and used it in macros without a random command. I’ve used the following for months with ZERO issues.
FYI: My macro is a bit over the 255 character limit but works with any macro extender such as Macro Toolkit, though you’d have to insert the mounts you have and wish to include anyway.

/dismount [mounted]
/use [mod:shift]Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth
/use [swimming]Brinedeep Bottom-Feeder
/userandom [flyable]Cindermane Charger, Swift Red Wind Rider, Thundering Jade Cloud Serpent
/userandom [noflyable]Prestigious Ivory Courser, Depleted-Kyparium Rocket

Altering it for your situation it’d look like this.

#showtooltip Hearthsteed
/dismount [mounted]
/userandom Valarjar Stormwing, Vulpine Familiar, Hearthsteed, Thundering August Cloud Serpent, Thundering Ruby Cloud Serpent, Island Thunderscale, Priestess’ Moonsaber, Sylverian Dreamer

I hope this helps. GL

Unfortunately that doesn’t meet my needs. I was making macros for the different types of mounts. Like just the drakes or just the cats, or gryphs. :slight_smile:

Also, Cool thanks Vdirty, I’ll give that a try. It seems to have worked! Not getting the hangups I was before. Thanks so much!
