Duplicate spell name macro (Hunter pet Rest)

[Lilornn-argent-dawn]

I’ve been trying to make what’s supposed to be the most basic macro ever, using my Rodent’s (important) Rest bonus ability.

I’m trying to make an RP macro that casts the ‘Rest’ spell for my rodent pet to make him ‘sit’, while snapping my finger or something to indicate the command fro RP purposes. This should be fairly simple:

#showtooltip
/cast rest
… /e RP stuff …

However, the issue I run into is that the ‘/cast rest’ defaults to the Bear’s pet familiy version of the rest ability (confirmed that the macro works for a bear).
Both the rest abilities function the same, have the same name, but have different spell ID’s, namely 94019 for the bear version, and 126364 for the rodent version. I need the rodent’s version for my ottuk pet, but the macro defaults to the bear version, which unfortunately doesnt work for non-bear pets.

With spell ID’s not usable in macros, and shift clicking the spell in the spellbook on the rodents version also defaulting to the bear’s version, what other options can I use, that preferably don’t use linking to a specific button on the (pet’s) action bar, as I use different pets, where that button would change depending on the pet.

Thanks for thinking along…

Could try shift-clicking the spell into the macro and see if there some (something) on the end of one of both versions.

I tried that, it does put (bonus ability) behind it, but since both are bonus abilites it still defaults to bear version.

I have just now got it to work using the GSE macro addon, since that allows you to reference IDs which the addon translates into text for a macro which somehow then refers to the correct spell.
