Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Is there an equivalent macro for the three shoot skills melee has. Once the new syntax is in the game you can have it check to see which type of ranged weapon is equipped and use the appropriate skill as below. Is this possible in vanilla?

/cast [equipped:gun] shoot gun
/cast [equipped:bow] shoot bow
/cast [equipped:crossbow] shoot crossbow

Ok, haha this was a nice challenge to fit in 255 chars .

Code: Select all

/script local _,_,i=strfind(GetInventoryItemLink("player",18),"\124Hitem:(%d+)");local _,_,_,_,_,p=GetItemInfo(i);local t={["Bows"]="Bow",["Guns"]="Gun",["Crossbows"]="Crossbow",["Thrown"]="Throw"};CastSpellByName((string.gsub(t[p],"^([^T])","Shoot %1")))

(255 chars)

v2 with 7 chars to spare (248 chars instead of 255)

Code: Select all

/script local _,_,i=strfind(GetInventoryItemLink("player",18),"\124Hitem:(%d+)");local _,_,_,_,_,p=GetItemInfo(i);local t={};t.Bows="Bow";t.Guns="Gun";t.Crossbows="Crossbow";t.Thrown="Throw";CastSpellByName((string.gsub(t[p],"^([^T])","Shoot %1")))

Last version 241 chars

Code: Select all

/script local _,_,i=strfind(GetInventoryItemLink("player",18),"\124Hitem:(%d+)")local _,_,_,_,_,p=GetItemInfo(i)local t={}t.Bows="Bow"t.Guns="Gun"t.Crossbows="Crossbow"t.Thrown="Throw"CastSpellByName((string.gsub(t[p],"^([^T])","Shoot %1")))

It should handle all 4 ranged skills btw, Gun, Bow, Crossbow and Thrown.

Thanks a lot for this macro, I've needed this one for a while!
