Macro help: Elemental Mastery (if not on CD), then Lightning Bolt

[lordgreg]

Hi there,..

as the title says, i would like to create Macro, that would, if i write PSEUDO CODE, do this:

#showtooltip Lightning Bolt
if (Elemental Mastery is NOT on Cooldown) THEN
  /cast Elemental Mastery
endif

/cast Lightning Bolt

Why not just cast EM and cast LB? Well, because its really going on my nerves when i hear my shammy saying "Spell isn't ready yet" (referring to EM being on CD).

Any way to bypass this with simple IF statement? Disabling SFX doesn't work since this is Char Voice, not Sound Effect.

Please help me here.. no idea how to bypass this problem.

Thank you!

You can't cast a spell based on whether or not it (or another) is on cooldown. However, you can disable error speech in the In-game options.

turn off error speech and add:

/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()

before /cast Elemental Mastery

and:

/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear(); UIErrorsFrame:Show()

after it. this will hide the "Spell is not ready yet" on your screen as well.

or use Error Monster to permanently remove error (or just selected error) messages. (or just add the "/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()" to another one of your addons and that's the end of 'em all).

Hide() and Show() are not needed and are overkill. You only need Clear().

i don't know the code, i got that trick from another site's macros forum way back when 2.0 went live.

if i gave the appearance of knowing what i'm doing....i apologize!
