2.1 - AUTO SHOT
As strange as it might sound to have a macro for something as simple as auto-shot, this has actually proven to be very useful in Nostalrius.

Just started using macros at lvl 27 for more ease. And this macro even hitting it multiple times still acts as if I just have autoshot on the bar itself. Meaning it will toggle on and off hitting it over and over. You claimed it doesn't toggle off no matter if you spam it or not. It does autotarget thou even thou I target my own targets I did test that and that part of the macro works fine.

Odd. Are you certain it's on the correct key, or reconfigured to whatever new key you use?

My autoshot is on key one so I have both numbers that are (3) as (1) to fix for it. And I haven't don't anything else to the macro so I don't know what's wrong with it.

Don't change both 3s, only change the 3 in "IsAutoRepeatAction(3)" - the other one is a distance checker, and 1 is not a good setting for Auto Shot.

run this while having your mouse over the autoshot key (not the macro!) in your action bar and link the result

/run DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage( GetMouseFocus():GetName() )

Okay I'll try that.

/run DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage( GetMouseFocus():GetName() )

What would this even do? But I'll do it when I'm home.

it returns the name of the frame your mouse points at, thus telling us what the number of the key you put autoshot on is

in case you are using any kind of action bar addons the autoshot macro will cease to work

Oh really? then... will any of the macros work in this guide? I use bartender2

All macros are functional; I use them myself. Identifying the action bar slot is useful for configuring macros such as the Auto Shot one.

I know this one is kinda bad (in terms of compatibility and stuff) but it should work in any case:

Code: Select all

/run if(CheckInteractDistance("target", 3)and not PlayerFrame.inCombat)then AttackTarget()else for i=1,99 do if GetActionTexture(i)==GetInventoryItemTexture("player", 18)and not IsAutoRepeatAction(i)then CastSpellByName("Auto Shot")end end end

- does not include selecting a new target if none is selected as that didn't fit in
- still requires autoshot to be on any actionslot

actually not sure how exactly bartender works but i'm gonna assume the extra bars simply are higher action slot numbers
