Battle Pet revive / bandage macro

[Voxxel]

Hi, I'm looking for a macro to use "Revive battle pets" when it's up and use bandages while Revive is on cooldown.

So far I found this one at warcraftpets.com:

/castsequence [nomod] reset=480 Revive Battle Pets, Battle Pet Bandage
/use [mod] Battle Pet Bandage

but has a problem: It can use only 1 bandage while the Revive is on cooldown.

I need a macro without modifiers to use bandages over and over until the Revive becomes castable.
Is that possible somehow?

The problem with /castsequence is the timer resets every time you run the macro. Adding more bandages at the end will cause it to wait 4 minutes since the last time you used a bandage too. At this point, you'd be better off using macro conditionals. I'm assuming this will be a click macro instead of a keybind.

/cast [btn:2] Battle Pet Bandage; Revive Battle Pets

This uses bandages when you right-click and revive when you left-click.

Other than the timer, mod usage, or right/left button clicks, there is no way for a macro to account for cooldowns. This is intentional by Blizzard. They want you to make the decision of what abilities to use.

This actually can be done outside of combat, which probably isn't a big deal for reviving battle pets, it's just that no existing addon is really designed to support doing something like this.

By default GnomeSequencer executes macros in the order they're stored, all you have to do is not include a step function. It won't switch back to "Revive Battle Pets" automatically when its cooldown is finished, so I wouldn't recommend using GS for this.

I edited my post to include "without modifiers" because I need it without modifiers.

Switching based on what button you click with aren't modifiers. You don't hold down any key for it to work, you just click a different mouse button. It's really that simple and takes no extra effort.

Paste this into addon.bool.no to create an addon:

local button, REVIVE_BATTLE_PETS = CreateFrame('button', 'SmartRez', nil, 'SecureActionButtonTemplate'), GetSpellInfo(125439)
button:SetAttribute('type', 'macro')
button:SetScript('PreClick', function(self)
    if InCombatLockdown() then return end
    
    local injured = false
    for i = 1, 3 do -- Determine whether any pet in our loadout is actually injured
        local guid = C_PetJournal.GetPetLoadOutInfo(i)
        if guid then
            local health, maxHealth = C_PetJournal.GetPetStats(guid)
            if health < maxHealth then
                injured = true
                break
            end
        end
    end
    if not injured then
        DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage('Pets are already at full health!', 1, 1, 0)
        self:SetAttribute('macrotext', nil)
        return
    end
    
    if GetSpellCooldown(125439) == 0 then -- "Revive Battle Pets" is off cooldown, cast that
        self:SetAttribute('macrotext', '/cast ' .. REVIVE_BATTLE_PETS)
    else
        self:SetAttribute('macrotext', '/use item:86143')
    end
end)

Once you've loaded that, make a macro like this to use it:

#showtooltip Revive Battle Pets
/click [nocombat] SmartRez
/cast [combat] Revive Battle Pets

It will use the spell if it's off cooldown or if you're in combat, otherwise it will use a bandage. I'm not going to bother including code to update the icon based on what it's going to cast since it's largely unnecessary and probably more useful to see the remaining cooldown of Revive Battle Pets instead.

Works perfectly, exactly what I needed! Thank you very much, Semlar!

@semlar This worked for me until Dragon Flight Phase 1 Release. Can anyone provided the required fixes to make it function again ?

Sorry about that mate, I don't know the exact technical term to express what I need here, which is only just a one-button to heal my pets with Revive (or bandages if Revive is not up) without modifying the user method of casting/pressing input.

Thank you for your help anyway!

I Messaged hhim this is what he sent me. The only thing i needed to change to make it work agaion was this part - /click [nocombat] SmartRez LeftButtonDown


here ius what he said in case you need to change more.

Try changing this line in the macro from Lua Code: /click [nocombat] SmartRez to Lua Code: /click [nocombat] SmartRez LeftButtonDown You may also need to add this to the bottom of the lua file: Lua Code: button:RegisterForClicks("LeftButtonDown", "LeftButtonUp")

The above modifications didn't work (for me). It's entirely possible that I did something wrong, but maybe there's more tweaking to do? If anyone figures it out, I'd love to hear about it, too!
