MacroTalk

Version: 2.4.6

by: Djidam [More]

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

Table of Contents

Disabling modules
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

/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.

blueshift A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Name error? I think this is a bug.. if not how do I get around it? Any time the % symbol is in chat with nothing following it then my name replaces the % symbol. What I mean by this is % is acting the way I think %n is supposed to act. If I try to say, "My buff adds 3% to party damage." In chat everyone sees "My buff adds 3Blueshift to party damage." Same thing happens if I post damage meters. Thanks and this is a great mod.

The %r , %g , etc. are just what I was looking for, thanks. What I want to do is somthing like if %tr = human /s hello elseif %tr = dwarf /s hoy elseif %tr = orc /spit /end I used to know a bit of basic , it has been awhile. I would appreciate a macro that would do this. Maybe I can change it to do other things as well.

Cogwheel Sans Poisson Forum posts: 237 File comments: 137 Uploads: 12	Re: macrotalk elseif MacroTalk won't help you with that because there are no macro options for the race of your target. You would need to write the script yourself either as your own addon or in a /run command.

Nibuca A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 6 Uploads: 0	raid icons in chat Now that 2.4 allows you to use raid icons in chat, any chance this can be added? I'm currently using something like: /cast [target=focus] Polymorph /say Sheeping %f {%ficb} Which works fine if the target has a raid marking.. but if they don't it says: Sheeping Kobold Warrior {} I'd like to be able to eliminate the {} (which just looks messy).

Or just check off Load out of date addons on your addons screen... Sort of an "if it aint broke" situation if you know what I mean

Ouch I got zapped on that one. But I wasn't aware that worked across the 2.4 <=> 3.0 barrier..? I could swear I had that box unchecked, yet macrotalk wasn't working... Oh well, my bad.

Yeah, last time (2.0) the changes were drastic enough that it justified the hassle of forcing authors to update/abandon/re-imagine.
