macro behaviour dependent from location

Hi guys,

i'm looking for a macro which does different things depending on if i'm in the arena or not.

e.g.
inside the arena -> dispel magic
anywhere else -> pom

Code:

/cast [@arena1,noexists] Prayer of Mending

/stopmacro [@arena1,noexists]

/cast [mod,@player][@party1,nodead][] Dispel Magic

Any ideas, or do i need an addon which switchs macros when entering/leaving arenas?

(:

Since you want the macro to cast a spell (rather than perform some other action that does not take a target from the macro) you cannot use the @unit conditional unless you only want to cast Dispel Magic on the arena1 unit. If you simply want the button to become a normal Dispel Magic button inside arenas, you would need to use an addon that changed the macro when you entered an arena.

Code:

-- This needs to match your macro's name:

local macroName = "MacroNameHere"



-- Edit these as desired:

local arenaMacro = "/cast [mod, @player] [@party1, nodead] [] Dispel Magic"

local otherMacro = "/cast Prayer of Mending"



-- Don't edit anything below here. -------------------------------------



local f = CreateFrame("Frame")

f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD")

f:SetScript("OnEvent", function()

        local macroID = GetMacroIndexByName( "NAME_HERE" )

        if macroID then

                local _, instanceType = IsInInstance()

                local macroText

                if instanceType == "arena" then

                        macroText = arenaMacro

                else

                        macroText = otherMacro

                end

                EditMacro(macroID, macroName, "INV_Misc_QuestionMark", macroText, 1, 1)

                DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(string.format("%s macro updated.", macroName))

        else

                DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(string.format("%s macro not found!", macroName))

        end

end)

Looks great, i will try it at home. Thank you!
