MacroTalk - RIP Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

I'm giving up on most of my mods. If anyone wants to take over this project, send me a PM and I'll have the admins transfer it to your account.

MacroTalk - v1.8.1
By Cogwheel

MacroTalk provides extended chat command support especially useful for macros.
For comments, bug reports, etc., please visit http://cogwheel.wowinterface.com.

Slash commands

/tellunit
/group
/opt
/rndcmd

Conditional chat commands
Random chat commands
Text substitutions

Straight substitutions
Unit information

Disabling Modules:

If you would prefer only to have certain functionality from MacroTalk (for
instance, if you have another addon that provides similar functionality),
you can disable various modules by renaming or deleting the corresponding
.lua files. You can safely remove MacroTalkChatOptions, MacroTalkCommands,
and MacroTalkSubstitutions which correspond to Conditional/Random chat
commands, Slash commands, and Text substitutions, respectively.

Slash commands:

/tellunit (/tu, /whisperunit, /wu) <unit> <message>
Sends a whisper to the specified unit. See
http://www.wowwiki.com/API_TYPE_UnitId for a list of units

Example:
/cast Innervate
/tellunit target Incoming innervate
/group (/gr) <message>
Picks battleground, raid, or party chat depending on which type of group
you are in.
/opt [options] <slash command>; [options] <slash command>; ...
Picks from multiple slash commands given the options. You can only use
slash commands that don't trigger secure functions. Chat commands,
emotes, scripts, etc. are OK. /cast, /use, etc. are off limits.

Note: the sub-commands cannot use macro options since the semicolons
would cause ambiguity.

Example:
/opt [button:2] /bye; /wave
/rndcmd [options] <command 1>\<command 2>; [options] <command 3>\<command 4>...
Picks a random slash command out of the group chosen based on the
given options. Each group is a list of slash commands separated by the
backslash (\) character (this is in contrast to commas used for the
built-in random commands--commas are just too common in chat messages).

Note: like the /opt command, the sub-commands cannot use macro options
and you can't use any secure commands.

Example:
/rndcmd [swimming] /y Help! I'm Drowning! \ /s The water's great!;
/s Time for a swim... \ /dance

Conditional chat commands:

All chat commands (/say, /tell, /guild, etc.) can now accept macro options.
To use this functionality, simply start the command with /opt. Note:
[target=] has no effect on the output of the chat commands; it only affects
the other conditionals in the clause.

Example:
/optsay [swimming] gurgle; [mounted] The cavalry has arrived!
Example:
/cast [target=focus] Polymorph
/optgroup [target=focus, exists] Sheeping %f

Random chat commands:

Similar to the macro options, you can now add /rnd to the beginning of any
chat command to pick a random saying. The /rnd___ commands also take options
to pick a different list of sayings. The lists themselves are separated by
the backslash symbol (\).

Example:
/rndyell ZOMG! \ WTF?! \ You there! Check out that noise!
Example:
/rndsay [outdoors] Ahhh, the Great Outdoors! \ What a lovely day!;
I wish I could go outside right now \ Must... Leave... Building...

Text substitutions:

MacroTalk offers a variety of substitutions in addition to %t of the default
UI. Substitutions are prioritized by the length of the code; longer codes
are processed first. This means that %tl will be processed before %t. The
codes are case-insensitive so %Tl is equivalent to %tL.

Straight substitutions:
%n - Your name
%z - Your current zone
%sz - Your current sub-zone
%loc - Your map coordinates
Unit information:
%t - Name of your target (built in, but listed for consistency)
%f - Name of your focus
%m - Name of mouseover unit
%p - Name of your pet
%tt - Name of your target's target

You can suffix those with one of the following to return other pieces of
data about the unit:

l - Level
c - Class
g - Gender
gb - Gender (blank if no gender)
r - Race
rb - Race (blank if no race)
h - Health (XX/XX) - Acts like hp for players not in your party/raid/bg
hp - Health percentage (XX%)
ma - Mana - Not just 'm' because it conflicts with mouseover
mab - Mana (blank if no mana)
mp - Mana percentage
mpb - Mana percentage (blank if no mana)
ic - Raid icon
icb - Raid icon (blank if no icon)

Example:
/p Sheeping %f (level %fl %fg %fr %fc)
/cast [target=focus] Polymorph

Sample result: Sheeping Cogwheel (level 64 male Gnome Warrior)
You can also use the suffixes without a unit code to return information
about yourself.

Example:
/s I'm a level %l, %g, %r %c.

Sample result: I'm a level 68, male, gnome warrior.

This happened with 2.1.1 patch, and I do not recall this happening at all before.

Let me know if you find anything definitive. If it's ok with you, could you post a bug report via the Bugs button above and detail how to reproduce it? I do some testing tonight myself as well.

It's designed to simply print a "You're not in a group" to the chat window.

When I use Macrotalk's /gr function while not in a group, it produces an error. Is there a way for Macrotalk to have the /gr funtion send to /say if you're not in a group?

I had it working like that when I was first developing it... TBH, I don't exactly remember my exact reason for changing it ><.

Thinking about it now, though, it *is* a group-specific functionality and I'm not sure it's exactly appropriate to default to /say. You could do something like this for now:

/optgr [group] Message goes here

Or perhaps:

/opt [group] /gr Message1; /s Message2

As far as the built in functionality, I'll have to meditate on it a bit. Maybe I'll just remove the error message, or add another command that has "say" as a fallback...

Cogwheel Sans Poisson Forum posts: 212 File comments: 132 Uploads: 22	Re: Help with Macrotalk All this addon does is add new commands you can use in macros. The readme file (the full text of which is reproduced above) explains and gives examples of all its features. If you don't know how to write macros in the first place, you should see my sticky over on the UI & Macros forum (US).

Guldukhat A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Help with Macrotalk Hey. Call me a n00b, but I'm not a programmer at all. lol. I DL'd this addon, but how do I make it work? I looked for some kind of help cmd but I found none. Basically, what I am wanting to do is simply make a macro that does random sayings for different actions. For example, "Healing %t. [Told you to duck!] , [This one is gonna cost you!], [Did that hurt?]" /cast heal rank 10, and so on. But I don't understand how to get the macro to choose from the different random sayings. Can you help me with this? Is this in your addon? Thx. Guldukhat

Ziana A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	%z - minimap zone? Hi Cogwheel, fantastic addon. Wondering if you might add something like %z for the minimap subzone. I would use it in a macro like: /group Incoming to %z! for battlegrounds. Thanks!
