Hey all,
For the longest time, I’ve used a world marker macro to quickly bring up the default UI’s world marker menu, select one, and place it:
/click CompactRaidFrameManagerDisplayFrameLeaderOptionsRaidWorldMarkerButton
However, as of patch 8.3 this macro seems to have broken. Has anyone experienced this and/or have a different recommendation to quickly put these down?
Thanks!
I use OPie for world markers.
OPie is a radial action-binding addon: it lets you group actions into rings which appear when you hold down a keyboard or mouse binding. When you release the binding, OPie will perform an action based on where your mouse cursor is.

Yes it does not seem possible to bring up the world marker menu anymore. At least not without tainting it, rendering it useless. They changed from “OnClick” to “OnMouseDown” so you cannot use /click anymore. Addons or slash commands like /wm 1 should still work

Thanks. I think i used opie way back in WOD. I’ll give it a peek again.
I’m not sure if the OPie ring I’m using is included with the addon or not. Here’s the snapshot in case it’s not.

Here’s an alternate version that shows the target markers if you have a target or the world markers if you don’t have a target.

To import go to /opie > Custom Rings > New Ring > Import Snapshot
Thanks! The default oPie ring broke for me, but this does the job nicely. 
The problem is more complex then simply changing the “OnClick” to “OnMouseDown” handler. The suggested handler above does not work and neither does the example I wrote below either. They both result in the error message “A macro script has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI”. This appears to imply that Blizzard has intentionally disable the ability for users to call this control. My question is why was this done?
/run local f=CompactRaidFrameManagerDisplayFrameLeaderOptionsRaidWorldMarkerButton; UIMenuButtonStretchMixin.OnMouseDown(f, button); ToggleDropDownMenu(1, nil, f.dropDown, f:GetName(), 0, 0);
/click DropDownList1Button5
That just looks like an overcomplicated version of
/wm 2
1 - square
2 - triangle
3 - diamond
4 - cross
5 - star
6 - circle
7 - moon
8 - skull
That’s my point, yes
is there a way to quickly remove all the markers?
the old macro still works for me but only in a raid and only if i have assist
but it’d be nice to have a way to clear all of them at once without having to open the menu.
/cwm all
10char
I’m loving this macro. so simple, but i have a question.
how do i get the (world marker) to set on my target im casting a spell? without having to click?
also, how do i get the (world marker) to set on my totem? with out double pressing the keybinding.
not possible.
