Macros in nUI

[Ivivika]

whenever I make a macro for spells on my warlock's cast bar and use the macro'd spell instead of the regular spell, NONE of the buttons light up to let me know spell is available. what did i do to break it?

I've noticed that as well and I don't know whether its a nUI thing or a WoW thing so just listen for the proc sound and combat text warning fly up and the special graphic to appear to tell me it has procced ..

But it doesn't seem all macros are affected so maybe it depends how the macro is written.

EG. Are you adding [] as a default option for the spell ? I've found I've been using that alot now for it to have a fallback trigger if the rest fail.

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, help, nodead][@target,help,nodead][] Heal

Which basically says help the alive mouseover target, or the actual target otherwise fall back to your default setting and deal with the scenario as if the macro wasn't written.

Perhaps that last scenario allows the spell alerts to happen and when they don't it coincides with macros that don't have that set up.

Outside of that I can't think of what could be the cause, unless the way nUI treats its bars even in nUI5 is messing things up .

It may be something to do with the IsUsableAction() method. Does it do the same thing in nUI6?

it seem to be the same in nui 6
i use macros like this spec dependent one
#showtooltip
/cast [spec:1] chaos bolt
/cast [modifier:alt] Curse of Weakness
/cast [modifier:shift] Curse of Exhaustion
/cast [spec:2] Curse of Tongues
/cancelaura herbouflage
and it seems to show the global cooldown (not showing numbers) and when i cast the same spell
/cast chaos bolt
i do get the numbers in the cooldown
may just be how the macro are but if you can figure out how to get the timer to show that wold be wonderfull
o and a small request put the cooldown timer over the global cooldown, it is a little difficult to see when it is shaded over by the global cooldown

keep up the good work with nui 6 im glad to see a hud in it now, makes my life much ezer and less painful not having to look away from my toon to see my health when i might be standing in the fire o doom

Okay, just tested this with my priest and popped a renew on myself. As you can see from my screenshot the macro doesn't show the buff counter but the direct spell does.

Will try without nUI to see if it is the same problem and also with inline auras which I used to use before I persuaded Scott to add the functionality

Edit:
Okay with inline auras it works fine so there must be something they are looking at that is different from nUI. Here's a screenshot.

I've added this to the bug list of nUI6. It's not a top priority, but I will look into how to fix this as soon as I can.
