Version: 2.4.6

MacroTalk provides extended chat command support especially useful for macros. (/macrotalk or /mtk with help for IG info)

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
/clearwaypoint or /cwp : Clear any waypoint/pin from your map.
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 (or zone if no sub-zone)
%loc - Your map coordinates
%wp - Link a pin to your current location and then remove it
%pin - Link a pin you've manually added to the map
%cov - Your covenant name
%covb - Your covenant name (blank if no covenant)
%rnl - Your renown level
%rnlb - Your renown level (blank if no renown)
%lt - Local time
%rt - Realm time
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
cl - Unit classification (not localized)
g - Gender
gb - Gender (blank if no gender)
r - Race
rb - Race (blank if no race)
gu - Guild
gu - Guild (blank if no guild)
rm - Realm (works with other realms than yours like in a dungeon)
h - Health (XX/XX)
hp - Health percentage (XX%)
pw - Power - Depending on the unit power, can be mana, focus, energy and so on
pwb - Power (blank if no power)
pwp - Power percentage
pwpb - Power percentage (blank if no mana)
ic - Raid icon
icb - Raid icon (blank if no icon)
gn - Raid group number - Only if target is in the same raid as you, or you are in a raid
gnb - Raid group number (blank if no raid group)
nt - Name with title
ut - Title
utb - Title (blank if no title)

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.

%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!

Hello,
When I attempt to use /p Sheeping %f (level %fl %fg %fr %fc)
/cast [target=focus] Polymorph I get this

Sheeping <no focus> (level <no focus>, <no focus>, <no focus>, <no focus>)

What am I doing wrong?

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

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).

Is there anyway to add coordinates that display in XX.XX,YY.YY (23.45,45.67) instead of %loc that gives me subzone like %sz does?

**edit: Using %pos gives coordinates and %loc returns the same info as %sz (subzone), didn't see this in the readme unless I missed it.

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...

I actually don't mind at all if it doesn't go to /say... as long as it doesn't pop up an error message. You're right, by its nature, it should be in group and those messages shouldn't go to /say when you're not in a group.

Just so we're clear, when you say it "pops up" an error message, do you mean an actual lua error that gives a window in the middle of the screen that you have to click Okay? Because that shouldn't be happening...

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

Yes, I am getting a LUA error window, I don't mind the "you're not in a group" text either. I'll try it again when I get home tonight. I turned off LUA error reporting temporarily for that reason. If I recall correctly, it also seems to happen only the very first time... not sure though.

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.
