Macro only use spell if not in a raid, ie if solo or in a party

Guides UI and Macro

This is for wotlk, I have a pet attack macro. And for 5 man groups and solo I’d like to throw hunter’s mark in there. In raid I do not want to use hunter’s mark with that keybind since I don’t have it talented. For raid I have hunter’s mark off to the side so if it is absolutely missing I can add it, so would be convenient to have it work so I hunter’s mark and send in pet in solo and 5-mans.

I’ve tried a few variations of this:

#showtooltip
/cast [noraid] [group] Hunter’s Mark
/petfollow [mod:alt]
/petattack
/cast Dash

I also tried [group:party] and [group:none], [group:solo]
Seems like it doesn’t do anything as it casts hunter’s mark if I an in party, party or raid.
Is it possible to do what I want to do?

Try this:

#showtooltip
/petfollow [mod:alt]
/petattack [nomod]
/cast Dash
/stopmacro [group:raid]
/cast Hunter's Mark

I tested this in retail, but the api should be the same. I had to add the [nomod] to the pet attack to get the pet to properly recall with the alt key. (I don’t know if that would be different in Wrath, as pet AI is different.)

The logic in that is bad (stealing EB’s explanation)
/cast [this][or that] Spellx
/cast [this, and that]Spellx

An “or” statement only needs 1 item to be true for the Spell to be cast
An “and” statement needs all items to be true for the spell to be cast

“group” is true for any group including raids,
“noraid” is true for solo and any group that isn’t a raid.
The two together results in an always true

If you wanted “any group that wasn’t a raid” just use /cast [noraid]

Just use the known condition.

This is for WOTLK not retail. Not sure if “known” was also added to wotlk.

Ah.

Who knows… maybe they added it when they added the Self Cast Key bug this week…

This works:

Hm, find it strange that just [noraid] doesn’t work. Just tried:

#showtooltip
/cast [noraid] Hunter’s Mark
/petfollow [mod:alt]
/petattack [nomod]
/cast Dash

and:

#showtooltip
/petfollow [mod:alt]
/petattack [nomod]
/cast Dash
/cast [noraid] Hunter’s Mark

Neither of those applier Hunter’s Mark whether I was solo or grouped (not raid).

That would be if I know or not know a spell right? What I meant by not talented, is there’s the baseline hunter’s mark and then there’s improved hunter’s mark - and only 1 hunter need to talent improved.

So, for some reason I missed the easier answer last night. (I blame it being too close to bedtime and my brain going into shutdown mode.)

[raid] isn’t a conditional, it’s a modifier to a conditional. (So, just like you need [mod:shift] instead of just [shift].)

So, the proper way to do the conditional is [nogroup:raid]. I just tested this (in retail) and it looks like it works, and the tooltip will behave a bit better:

#showtooltip
/petfollow [mod:alt]
/petattack [nomod]
/cast Dash
/cast [nogroup:raid] Hunter's Mark

Restoring the original priority.

#showtooltip
/cast [nogroup:raid] Hunter's Mark
/petfollow [mod:alt]
/petattack [nomod]
/cast Dash
