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.

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

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.

Change Log - MacroTalk - RIP

v1.7.1
- Fixed suffixes to work without a unit
- Fixed error when using /gr outside of a group

v1.7
- /rnd___ commands should actually work now
- Changed /rnd to /rndcmd because of a conflict with the built-in /rnd command

MacroTalkSubstitutions.lua for more information)

v1.6
- Added raid icon and "blank" suffixes

v1.5.1
- Fixed a bug that caused all SendChatMessages to fail...

v1.5

v1.1
- Improved localizability of substitutions

v1.0
- Name substitutions have been simplified a bit to match the functionality of %t

Edik A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Error is produced by bogus Addon not MacroTalk. In MacroTalk only missing sanity check for passed argument "text". I did mod .lua to look like this and it clean all errors produced: Code: function SendChatMessage(text, ...) if (type(text) == "nil" or type(text) ~= "string") then return OrigSendChatMessage(text, ...) end for _, substitution in ipairs(substitutions) do local func = substitution.func text = text:gsub(substitution.code, type(func) == "function" and func() or func) end return OrigSendChatMessage(text, ...) end I did add to original MacroTalkSubstitutions.lua sanity check for passed parameter "text"

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

Thanks for a great addon.

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).

Cogwheel Sans Poisson Forum posts: 212 File comments: 131 Uploads: 22	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.

finnist A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	macrotalk elseif I downloaded macrotalk , I have used some of the examples I found here and there , and they work fine. 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.

It's a bug. I'll have a fix out shortly.

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.
