whisper macro

[Kendian]

#showtooltip Misdirection
/cast [target=focus,help][help][target=pet,exists,nodead] Misdirection
/whisper[target=focus] ~~Misdirect-~%f~~



Sorry to be so stupid, but why will this not whisper my focus target? Can anyone help me with a macro that WILL whisper my focus target, lol? My guild keeps asking me why I named all my hunters pets <no focus>

you need to use SendChatMessage()
http://www.wowpedia.org/API_SendChatMessage

here's an example i whipped up, might have a typo

/script local n=UnitName("focus") SendChatMessage("Misdirecting "..n ,"WHISPER", nil, n)

Imho ppl should use Spell Links in their macro's

#showtooltip Misdirection /cast [target=focus,help][help][target=pet,exists,nodead] Misdirection /run SendChatMessage(GetSpellLink(34477).." on [%f]", "WHISPER", nil, UnitName("focus"))

My thanks, Brother, Ketho, this is exactly what I needed.
