infMopTalentMacros

Version: 2.0

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.

2.0

Update TOC for 6.0

1.7

Reverted back to the non-lib version, but kept some in combat error protection since blizzard still hasn't fixed the problem with PLAYER_TALENT_UPDATE firing 'randomly' for some ppl, seems to be especially warlock related, I've never been able to replicate it myself but it's definitely there.

I edited this addon to do exactly this!

Just copy+paste the code below into the lua file (overwrite everything)

It does the same as before, but in addition lets you specify character-specific macros that will be overwritten every time you change your talents. Within these macros you can now make use of spells "T_1" through "T_6" (which represent the chosen skills in each talent tier).

You can insert a list of macros for each charakter. Login to WoW, and add an empty macro with the chosen name. After that, insert a new line in the "macro" table in the lua-file with the same key-name.

In the code code below there are a few sample macros. In table "macros" for the charakter "Charaktername", there are two sample macros.
The second one is a macro named "Macroname2":

Code:

#showtooltip
/use [mod:shift]T_2;T_3

When you use this macro ingame, and press shift while clicking, you use the selected Tier2 talent. When not pressing shift, you will use the talent of Tier3 instead.

Have fun with this addition (maybe the author may want to add it to his already awesome addon

)

Code:

Though I have some RegisterEvents to update the macros which work perfectly without having to relearn talent. I guess the one that does that is UPDATE_MACROS that triggers when you create the macro. Pretty sure you can remove PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED if you use UPDATE_MACROS instead. I did get a bug report from a guildmate that wasnt level 90 and couldn't learn higher than 45 talents. I don't have any characters under 90 so couldn't check it myself, but it was only when he logged in so didn't really care to check it out. I use these RegisterEvents to update the tooltips: frame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN"); frame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_TALENT_UPDATE"); frame:RegisterEvent("UPDATE_MACROS"); The difference between yours and my "addon" is that yours overwrite the macro if you change a talent. I'm not sure I like this, but it is a nice touch. As warlock for example, you'd want stopcasting in a macro with Dark Bargain/Sac Pact or Shadowfury/Mortal Coil. One problem I had, that you also seemed to have is that it does not work for Solace and Insanity for priests in 45 talents. It shows the talent instead of the actual spell you get (the talent is a passive that grants you a spell), Power Word: Solace. It's not a big deal, because it replaces Holy Fire and you probably had that binded somewhere else. Edit: And yes, what Phanx wrote below. Last edited by macklol : 05-02-14 at 08:05 PM.

That's not this addon causing that, sounds like you might have the 'TalentMacros' addon installed?

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

I hope it works, I have been busting my brain trying to have Binding Shot and Intimidation (hunter talents) set to the same keybind without having to drag the button on and off my bar every time I switch out. Again thank you! I hope you keep this updated!

I haven't had a single problem since I modified the code and added the combat check.
