Macro help

Guides UI and Macro

Hello,

I’m using shift modifier macros like:

#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover,mod:shift] Pain Suppression;
/cast Fade

Which works fine, but then there are some like:

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Shadow Word: Death;
/cast Mind Blast

Which does not let me cast Death on my hotkey and I was wondering if anyone might know how to fix it.

I appreciate it.

Nothing jumps out at me, but I occasionally get messed up using shift if it is keybound to something else. If I remember, I think SHIFT+1 through SHIFT+6 are bound by default to action pages. I may be wrong, but that is usually the first thing I check to see if that key (with modifier) is bound to something else.

What Roogna said. Keybinds take priority over macro modifiers and by default SHIFT 1-6 are bound to Action Page 1-6. You’ll need to unbind them to use them as macro modifiers.

Also, if you’re only trying to cast 1 spell per press you could only be using a single /cast command.

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift,@mouseover,help,nodead] [mod:shift,@target] Pain Suppression; Fade

Using @target here to make sure it doesn’t fallback and cast on you if they die mid-press.

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Shadow Word: Death; Mind Blast
