Pet macro issue

This question is likely for hunters specifically; but is anyone else having issues macro-ing pet abilities like Gore or Claw?

It should just be casting the ability correct? But instead it comes up with the prompt “Your pet already knows -ability-” as if I were trying to teach it from Beast Training.

Anyone else dealing with this, and possibly have a fix?

You didn’t show the macro(s) you are having issues with.

Are you finding this with something like:

#showtooltip
/cast [pet: Wind Serpent] Gore; [pet: Ghost Saber] Claw

If not, it might be helpful to post the macro(s) you are having issues with.

Oh, sorry; yeah.

Was just trying to do something as simple as ‘/cast Claw’ for the macro.

Any variable results, usually, in the same thing (including what the macro you mentioned).

Sorry, idk. I don’t have a hunter for TBC Classic that I can test on :frowning: Hopefully someone else can confirm or point you in the right direction.

Are you using any addons? Have you tried disabling them and seeing if that issue persists?

Use /click PetActionButtonx

with x being the button number of the pet ability. This will make your pet use that button as if you were clicking it. Do be careful with the capitalization, if I remember for some reason it is case sensitive.

/petattack
/click PetActionButton4
/click PetActionButton8

This will make your pet attack, put it in defensive, and spam whatever ability is in the 4th action button. You can also macro an ability to it if you want to focus dump when using Arcane Shot or something. Not sure if this is what you were looking for.

That was the command I was looking for; fixes everything I was having issues with. Thank you!
