Resurrection Macro

[TheGeek]

I'm trying to do two things with a macro. I don't know how to do it tho.

Cast Resurrection

Say "(Resurrection) on 'PlayerName'". I want the (Resurrection) to be the actual spell link. I want it to use raid or party depending on whether im in raid or not.

Possible?

If you just want it to send the message every time you press the button:

/run SendChatMessage(GetNumRaidMembers()>0 and "RAID" or "PARTY","Casting "..GetSpellLink("Resurrection").." on "..UnitName("target") or "No Target")

[TheGeek]

That didn't work for me

[Seerah]

Phanx has the arguments switched around. Should be message first:

/run SendChatMessage("Casting "..GetSpellLink("Resurrection").." on "..UnitName("target") or "No Target",GetNumRaidMembers()>0 and "RAID" or "PARTY")

Worked.. however, if I'm not in a party and I want to rez a nube who happen to get killed by the environment, this pops.

/run SendChatMessage("Casting "..GetSpellLink("Resurrection").." on "..UnitName("target") or "No Target",GetNumRaidMembers()>0 and "RAID" or GetNumPartyMembers()>0 and "PARTY" or "SAY")

Simply added a GetNumPartyMembers() and make it use "SAY" if you are not in raid nor party.

You rock! Thanks.

Ok, it's working except for if I accidentally hit it while not targeting, it kills the macro all together.

Put the /run line after your /cast line (if you mean what I think you mean, that is).

[TheGeek]

#showtooltip Resurrection
/cast Resurrection
/run SendChatMessage("Casting "..GetSpellLink("Resurrection").." on "..UnitName("target") or "No Target",GetNumRaidMembers()>0 and "RAID" or GetNumPartyMembers()>0 and "PARTY" or "SAY")

That's what it looks like. If I happen to just be standing there and I hit the rez key without anyone targeted it pops up the error I posted a few ones up.

I've managed to narrow it down to this;

"..UnitName("target") or "No Target"

If the "..UnitName" piece is in it errors. It's like the command isn't understanding to use UnitName or No Target if nothing is targeted.

[TheGeek]

That probably made no sense. It works period if you have someone targeted. It will use say when not in party, party when in a party, and raid when in a raid. However, the unitname and no target clause don't seem to work with one another.

It reminds me of an IF/OR statement that should say IF targeted use UnitName OR not targeted use "No Target".

[Xubera]

try

/run SendChatMessage(("Casting "..GetSpellLink("Resurrection").." on "..UnitName("target")) or "No Target",GetNumRaidMembers()>0 and "RAID" or GetNumPartyMembers()>0 and "PARTY" or "SAY")

the difference being putting paraenthesis around the entire string so

if (longString..with..concat..UnitName) or "No Target"

so the whole string is all or nothing

[Seerah]

eh, I would try them here

/run SendChatMessage("Casting "..GetSpellLink("Resurrection").." on "..(UnitName("target") or "No Target"),GetNumRaidMembers()>0 and "RAID" or GetNumPartyMembers()>0 and "PARTY" or "SAY")

But this would definitely work:

/run local n=UnitName("target") or "No Target" SendChatMessage("Casting "..GetSpellLink("Resurrection").." on "..n",GetNumRaidMembers()>0 and "RAID" or GetNumPartyMembers()>0 and "PARTY" or "SAY")

[Maleekha]

But what if the target is out of range or out of line of sight? The macro is enabled, informing ppl but my char does not cast the spell.... :S could any1 help me pls?

[SDPhantom]

You'll need an addon watching events to detect if you actually started casting a resurrection spell instead of erroring due to range/LoS. Due to the nature of the code required, it wouldn't be practical to run from a macro.
