@mouseover macross

How can I make action binding for unitframes work with mouseover macrosses?
Something like /use [@mouseover] Bandage Name

Just set the mouse bind to be a macro, then create a script/macro in the package to point to. Edit the script/macro to be whatever you need it to be..

/use [target=mouseover] <item>

If there's not already a use item on target mousebind that is...

Can you test it please? Does it work for you?

I know how to use it, but it doesn't work. I recall there was such questions before and I even answered them :S But can't get why it doesn't work now.

/use [target=mouseover] Heavy Frostweave Bandage

In the macro file works fine for me.

Conditions:
The mouse over in question was my focus window, but I made sure to not have it targeted while testing the bind.
Mousebind was set to Mouse #5

Thanks, will try it again today, maybe my locale plays jokes with me or did mistype.

Can you test another one please?
The same one but with
/use [@mouseover] Heavy Frostweave Bandage

And more complex one I actually tried to make:
/target [target=mouseover]
/follow
And the same (if above works) but with
/target [@mouseover]
/follow

Quite usefull in raids when you need to run to someone and don't know where he stands

Yeah will check it later when I get home from doing errands for ya.

Yup.. it was just usual late night mistype from my side.. "mousover"..

/use [@mouseover] bla bla
works fine.

Code:

/target [target=mouseover]
/follow

Can actually just be.. as long as no one in the group or area is named mouseover... wonder how that would work actually on name checking for it.. lmfao

Code:

/target mouseover

Ex-Guildie had to use a macro like that, since for some reason the blizzard identifier for mouseover doesn't work when doing text lines..

Example:

Code:

/target mouseover
/cast Revive
/ra Casting revive on %t

Instead of making it easier and just having a script shortcut like %t is..

You can use %f for focus target in texts.
Useful if you don't want your main target changing everytime you make a macro.

Narinka · 07-07-10, 04:15 AM

But you can't /follow your focus :\

qwertyui · 07-07-10, 05:28 AM

Actually you can.
Apparently, /follow command accepts the normal UnitId targets.

As in:
/follow focus
/follow mouseover

etc

I haven't completely tested yet, but when i moused over an NPC and typed /follow mouseover in chat, it told me that i can't follow that unit, so i know that it at least tried to.

Hm.. will test it today once more..
