Yes, I know the zoom-out max distance macro; that isn’t what I’m asking for. I want to make a macro that automatically toggles my screen view to zoom in at a specified distance.
So if I’m in a building I use the macro to set my distance closer to my character. And if I’m in wide-open spaces (say Silithus or AV), I press another macro to set my screen view to max zoom out distance.
I want to do this without having to manually spam click the native zoom-in, zoom-out keybinds in WoW Classic, as it takes too long. What do?
there are scripts that change MAX camera distance, so technically you could zoom in slightly by making a macro to reduce your max zoom, but nothing that I know of zooms you out. it’d ALLOW you to zoom out but you’d still have to zoom yourself there.
I don’t believe there’s a simple macro to set the specific camera distance, but I think there’s scripting to do it. However, I couldn’t give the specific command, or whether it works outside of secure calls.
I had to double check by logging in and it does exist in TBC, but have you tried using the Set View # keybinds to jump to a specific view that you’ve pre-configured?
Figured out set view / save view settings after I posted this, but this is definitely the answer to my question. It exists in Classic / TBC and is quite the life saver when I need a far more zoomed-in view. Thank you!
I wanted to get a macro specifically because I just wanted to see the script revolving around setting up specific zoomed views.
