[Macro] or [Addon] - Disenchanting automatic

[philip2206]

Hey guys and girls

Since my main gold income comes from disenchanting stuff to sell on the AH, i've been wondering about a macro nor maybe an addon, that will make life easier, when it comes to disenchanting. Does such a thing exist in vanilla?

I used to (on retail wow; MoP and WoD) to have a macro for DE - looked like this;

/use Disenchant
/use "insert Item" - just without the (").

I have tried for a long time to use all kind of commands, scripts and addons like SuperMacro, but with no luck.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Both are options are possible, but it just depends on how easy you want to make disenchanting.

A simple macro that would try to disenchant anything in Bag 0 (Backpack), Slot 1.

Code: Select all

/cast Disenchant
/run ContainerFrame1Item16:Click()


..or make an addon that makes it a simple slash command, when used.. searches through all your bags for the first instance of that item name and then try's to disenchant it.

So you just have to write which slot the specific item is in?

For macros. yes.

Not sure if you could fit all of the "searching" functionality in a 255 character macro.

Just randomly had a thought about my original posts.. and a simple macro idea popped into my head.

You can just use a mouse over type of macro..

Code: Select all

/run SpellStopTargeting(); local f=GetMouseFocus(); if strfind(tostring(f:GetName()), 'ContainerFrame') then CastSpellByName('Disenchant'); f:Click(); end SpellStopTargeting(); ClearCursor();

Just mouse over the item you want to disenchant (in your bags only) and run the macro.

Could you look the the code again? Because I am really interested in this but I can't get it to work. I use Bagnon for my bag, would that interfer with the " 'ContainerFrame' "?

The way I made it was for default ui, as bagnon uses its own frames. You just simply need to change it to what bagnon frames use.

Just mouse over a slot in the bags and type

Code: Select all

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

..In this case.. you get something along the lines of 'BagnonItem19' or so.

So just replace 'ContainerFrame' with 'Bagnon',

Code: Select all

/run SpellStopTargeting(); local f=GetMouseFocus(); if strfind(tostring(f:GetName()), 'Bagnon') then CastSpellByName('Disenchant'); f:Click(); end SpellStopTargeting(); ClearCursor();

or just simply remove the if statement which will allow it to be used in any frame which might cause unforeseen issues. (Will cause errors to appear on non-clickable/non-existent frames),

Code: Select all

/run SpellStopTargeting(); local f=GetMouseFocus(); CastSpellByName('Disenchant'); f:Click(); SpellStopTargeting(); ClearCursor();

Thanks alot mate!
That totally made it work. The frame was indeed called Bagnon, so I used the one with if.
