Noob to macros

Fragglerock · 08-05-07, 05:54 PM

I want to create a macro with item links in it so I can have a macro for tailoring/enchanting selling. I have a feeling it would include the item id's somehow, but i have no idea how to find out what those are or how they would be formatted, could anyone lend some advice? Thanks!

A trick that should work:
Open your char editbox, and type:

Code:

/run CreateMacro("Macro Name", 6, "/2 Selling [Your Item]", 1)

Replace Macro Name with the name you want to give to your macro, and use Shift+Click on the item to put the item link directly in this line.
It should create a (local) macro that does what you want. I haven't tested it but I heard this trick works.

The easiest way is to get a mod that converts text to item links. Can't think of any off the top of my head right now, besides Prat, which does tons more if you want it to...

Fizzwidget's Linkerator? Only one I can think of at 4am.

Simple curiosity, if you've been too lazy to download an addon, and if you've tried the "/run" script, did it work? While the WTS addon looks awesome, I'm still not selling enough things to make it worth the trouble, while this macro would be nice if it actually works

Edit:
An you're welcome, of couse

Yes actually it did work, ty

for my purposes at the moment the addon actually is fabulous because it does it for you on a set time frame, so I can get rl work done while listening for tells.

but i'll definitely use that in the future.

Glad I could help.
