/startattack no longer gives an error message when using this addon, but nor does it act any differently than simply using auto attack. it stops attacking if you hit it a second time

sad for me because ive been looking for a way to get around this for awhile.

Updated to fix that issue. Enjoy

here, you deserve this

a minor issue ive found is if you try to use the macro whilst casting, it will stop working.

the only way i've seen to make startattack work again is to toggle attack on then off, or just flat out restart.

if i use the macro against a dead target and sometiomes out of range targets it also bugs out.

had a weird thing happen where i was bugged, toggled auto to try to fix it, and got stuck with auto attack on with nothing targetted until i manually right clicked something. definitely some weird things going on.

Thanks for those bugreports. This required some weird workarounds but it should now work as advertised.

I also was looking for a usual #showtooltip /startattack /cast Blablabla macro for vanilla...

Turns out, you can't #showtooltip so have fun finding the spell icon in the icon table
You can't /startattack at all, and the kind of macros that make it possible to /startattack cancel the auto-attack if you press/click that macro a second time (so, not ideal for us keybind spammers)
And also, /cast doesn't work. But I think there is a /script CastByName macro of some sort for that.

In the end, it's easier to just bind the 'Attack' spell on some key and / or right click the mob lol. Pretty annoying but oh well.

Your Luna Unit Frames already does a great job at alleviate some of those issues though

Tl; dr : You're awesome Rhena ♥ Good luck with this project, but don't fret if you can't find the time to make it 100% perfect, you're already doing a LOT for the vanilla community.

[Rhena]

But it DOES work now

Try doing a

Code: Select all

/script if nil then CastSpellByName("Blessing of Protection") end

in the first line if you are using bartender. It does nothing but Bartender shows Cooldowns of that spell on the Icon.

How do I install this properly? I put the folder in my addons directory and no effect... tried deleting -master no effect. What am I missing here?

** I should add that I love your luna frames and questie. Thank you for your work.

Download this and put it into your Addons folder after unzipping.

Also i'm not related to Questie in any form. Thanks for your appreciation though.
