infMopTalentMacros Updated less than 3 days ago!

Version: 1.5

by: infin1te [More]

A very simple addon that helps you make working macros for the new tier based talents in 5.0.4 (MoP)
At least until they make #showtooltip able to handle the new system.

Technically you could do this kind of macro:

Code:

/cast ability1
/cast ability2
/cast ability3

But then you are stuck with the issue that you wont have the correct icon/tooltip.

You could solve that problem by doing something like this

Code:

/cast ability1
/cast ability2
/run SetMacroSpell("MacroName",GetSpellInfo("ability1") or "ability2")

However the problem with that is that you have to click the macro once for it to update the icon/tooltip correctly.

This addon solves those issues completely and lets you make proper macros.

You simply make an empty macro with any icon but with the name "tier_#", where # is the number of the talent tier you want the macro for. (1-6, top to bottom), it is not case sensitive.
It does not matter if it is in the general or player specific macro section, though of course if you want it available cross-character then I would recommend putting in the general section.
Make sure you get the name right though, it won't work otherwise.

And that is it, the addon will do the rest.

What it does is that it edits your macro to the appropriate ability every time you swap a talent for that tier.

Note that you will most likely need to swap a talent for that tier or swap you spec for the macro to initialize, though this only has to be done the very first time.
Also make sure you do not have more than one macro per tier as it can cause issues.

Cpu usage is essentially zero if anyone was wondering, as it only operates when you swap a talent.

Which on the other hand makes me quite curious as to how you managed to produce that error. I've been using this addon since I made it and I've never encountered an in-combat error. Anyway if it's causing people problems I can fix it, and cheers for the suggestion circatm2001 Last edited by infin1te : 05-23-13 at 04:07 AM.

Problem:
http://www.twitch.tv/circatm2001/b/405014416

Solution:
infMopTalentMacros.zip (1 KB)

Before:

Code:

----------------------------------------------
-- infMopTalentMacroes
----------------------------------------------

local function OnEvent(self, event, ...)
	for i=1, MAX_NUM_TALENTS do
		local name, _, tier, _, selected = GetTalentInfo(i)
		if selected then
			EditMacro("TIER_"..tier, nil, "INV_Misc_QuestionMark", "#showtooltip\n/cast "..name)
		end
	end
end

local infMopTalentMacroes = CreateFrame("Frame")
infMopTalentMacroes:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
infMopTalentMacroes:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_TALENT_UPDATE")
infMopTalentMacroes:SetScript("OnEvent", OnEvent)

After:

Code:

----------------------------------------------
-- infMopTalentMacroes
----------------------------------------------

local function OnEvent(self, event, ...)
-- Check to see whether the player is in combat before attempting to call protected function EditMacro()
    if InCombatLockdown() then
        return
    end
    for i=1, MAX_NUM_TALENTS do
		local name, _, tier, _, selected = GetTalentInfo(i)
		if selected then
			EditMacro("TIER_"..tier, nil, "INV_Misc_QuestionMark", "#showtooltip\n/cast "..name)
		end
	end
end

local infMopTalentMacroes = CreateFrame("Frame")
infMopTalentMacroes:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
infMopTalentMacroes:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_TALENT_UPDATE")
infMopTalentMacroes:SetScript("OnEvent", OnEvent)

Not sure if it started after the hotfix or after 5.2. This is the BugGrabber info: Code: "[ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED] AddOn \"infMopTalentMacroes\" tried to call the protected function \"EditMacro()\".", ["stack"] = "!BugGrabber-r191-release\\BugGrabber.lua:587: in function <!BugGrabber\\BugGrabber.lua:587> <in C code>\ninfMopTalentMacroes\\infMopTalentMacroes-1.3.lua:9: in function <infMopTalentMacroes\\infMopTalentMacroes.lua:5>", I'll get a crazy amount of these in a short time span. Record is 276 in a minute after logging in a char using 3 tier macros. Last edited by losername : 03-10-13 at 11:27 AM.

Could anyone tell me an easy way to edit the lua so the macro text inserted can be customized for each individual tier? For example, if I wanted to include /use 14 for tier_6. Thanks.

I can't LUA my way out of a wet paper bag but if there were say an option to make tier_2m to make it mouseover or something that'd be fantastic. I swap between the T2 monk talents a lot for healing and mouseover cast basically all my spells.

Either way, thanks for this!

I overwrote line 9 with:

Code:

EditMacro("TIER_"..tier, nil, "INV_Misc_QuestionMark", "#showtooltip\n/cast [@mouseover,help][help][] "..name)

...for my mouseovers

10leej A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 124 File comments: 201 Uploads: 10	So a macro would pretty much be just this? Code: /cast tier_1 correct? EDIT: sorry bout the idiocy reread what you said got it working now the name is literally supposed to be tier_# Also, mind if I include this within BobUI credit will be given and I more than likely won't modify the code __________________ Watch me fail at playing the game!

infin1te A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 12 Uploads: 1	Re: finally! Cheers! About being able to run the macro within another macro. Well... sort of. Since unfortunately the /RunMacro 'name' is protected we have to make a kind of crude wordaround. Using your example; Start by putting the tier_1 macro somewhere on your bars, it does not really matter where as you wont directly be running that macro, then move your mouse over it and '/print GetMouseFocus():GetName()' This should give a name of the action bar and button number, for example 'MultiBarRightButton1' or 'BT4Button99' if you are using say bartender4. Then make a second macro looking something like this: Code: /click [stance:1] MultiBarRightButton1 /cast [stance:3] barkskin The first line will 'run' the tier_1 macro if you are in stance 1, else cast barkskin if you are in stance 3 So it will work the way you wanted it to. Hope my walkthrough is not to poorly written and makes sense Last edited by infin1te : 08-28-12 at 05:23 AM.

I've been waiting for this since beta started... great job! one thing though, would it be possible to use it for macros in general? for something like: /cast [stance:1] tier_1; [stance:3] barkskin that would be amazing! =) Last edited by the-wind-waker : 08-27-12 at 07:38 PM.
