Sorry, noob question… I’m not good with Macros. Should be pretty simple…
I want to make a Summoning Macro that will…
a) Cast Ritual of Summon on my current target.
b) Whisper that target that I’m summoning them, please be ready.
c) Announce in party/raid chat that I’m summoning that target, so other warlocks don’t double summon.
I kinda know how to do it all except the current target part…
Help! Thank you!

If you have the target selected, it should just work. I think you can also do…
/cast [@target] Ritual of Summoning
It sounds like you have the other stuff sorted out. There’s also a lot of options if you google “wow classic warlock summoning macro” so you should be able to find some inspiration 
Hmmm… so, this didn’t work. [@target] didn’t work. Found out that %t works instead…
So far, I have…
/cast %t Ritual of Summoning
/w %t Your summon is coming! Tips appreciated, but not mandatory!
The whisper part isn’t working. It returns me an error of “no player named %t currently playing”.
Also, while I have Warlocks… what’s the addon yall use to manage summons in Era? The “123” addon? Is it RaidSummon? Because that doesn’t seem to be working in Fresh…
I just tested [@target]
with one of my own abilities and it’s working; however, you don’t really need it there. Omitting it entirely is still casting it on my target. Maybe this is different with a warlock summons somehow?
For the whisper part, I think you need to use SendChatMessage
. Here’s a link to the API page…
https://wowwiki-archive.fandom.com/wiki/API_SendChatMessage
For example, you can do…
/cast Ritual of Summoning
/script SendChatMessage("Some message here!", "WHISPER", nil, UnitName("target"))
This will give you an error if you’re targeting something that can’t be whispered though. There’s probably a way to prevent that…
*EDIT: Ah yea, you can do this…
/cast Ritual of Summoning
/script if UnitIsPlayer("target") then SendChatMessage("Testing!", "WHISPER", nil, UnitName("target")) end
You can use SendChatMessage
to also send the message to raid/party. Read the link I sent you to find out how

Interestingly, you could type this post directly into chatGPT and it would churn out a perfect macro for you.
