Hello, i don't know where to post this so I'll try here and then mod can move it if needed. I need help with a macro / report a bug on the server. I wanna run this script in a macro
"/run if(SpellStopCasting()) then CastSpellByName("Heal") else CastSpellByName("Heal") end"
What this script should do is
1. if I'm not casting anything then it should cast a spell called "Heal".
2. If I'm casting something then it should cancel that cast and cast a spell called heal.
Desired results: When i press the script i want it to cast heal / cancel the current cast and recast the heal spell If i am casting when i press it.
Result i get: First time i press the script while I am casting the spell it cancells it, the second time i press it the castbar dissappears but the spell copntinues casting.
This is really awkward to explain but if you copy the script and try it yourself you will see. ¨Just paste the script into a macro and press it twice (wait for GCD to finish before pressing it again so you can ectually see the results).

Ask if you have any more questions cuz im semi-drunk so ye
To get it to work you have to log the spellstopcasting in a variable and call for the variable. if its true cast first heal else cast second.
Cant be done without addon.

/script SpellStopCasting()
/cast Heal
This will stop cast anything, then cast Heal instead.
Do not spam it.

I appreciate the answer but you should know to test before you post a "solution". This does not solve the problem that i brought up.

Are you sure? This looks exactly like what you're looking for?

What he wrote and what I originally posted should function exactly the same, but none of them work.
I'm starting to think it's some server bug instead.

Might be the limitations of vanilla WoW, download SuperMacro addon.

This should work, /run if not IsAutoRepeatAction(59) then SpellStopCasting(); CastSpellByName("Heal"); end
subsitute 59 for where heal is in your bar
you have to mash it twice for it to work
