Macro and quest share questions

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion
1

  1. I have macro for mouse over spells but only heal works on group icons. The other spells work only if I have my mouse over the characters. Why? I am talking about spells Renew and Shadow Word Shield.

  2. On macros, with showtooltip I see only the icon of the spell and not the description. Why? It has no description, only the macro title I put.

  3. Is there any addon to see what buffs each player in my party have? Or any macro for easy heals?

  4. I saw on internet that all DM quests are shareable, but mates couldn’t share on me 2 quests. The final boss quest and the badanas quest. I know that they are chain quests, but why on articles say they are shareable?

  5. Why some bag who have color or are rare, are put on AH for a higher price? OK I understand for shirt maybe they are cosmetics for RP reasons, but bags? What if a bag is red, blue or green? You can’t see them. I know these bags cost more to be created, but why someone should want to pay to buy them?

The first 3 questions are healer related so i cant answer them but
4. Bad information on the articles side i would suppose? Chain quests are never shareable besides the first part of it.
5. It has to do with the size of the bag. The more inventory space you can get, the more value it has.

Also how many different classes have you played over the last few weeks? I’ve seen you ask Mage related questions, hunter related questions and now priest questions… I like the dedication!

2: Show us the macros. If they look like:
#shoowtooltip
/dostuff
/domorestuff
Then there should be no problems.
4: Sharable doesn’t mean that there are no pre-requirements, typically it only means that the quest giver doesn’t give you some item to use to complete the quest (like a letter for a messenger quest). Those quests you mentioned could still be shared if you had progressed far enough.
5: Yeah colored bags was a vanilla idea that never survived past vanilla, because as you said, who cares about the color of their bags ^^

Wait for the aq mounts hehe. There are gonna be battles over the red ones I bet.

5

Battle for red mounts? What a plebeian, non-Scarab Lord pastime.

/monocle

No scarab lords in vanilla, pleb
And btw if you are not the hardcore guild gm you will never see your black bug

Hello Questionlord, it’s nice to see lots of good questions but share us where they come from, like the macro one (without your macro, the question couldn’t be answered) or nr4 (without posting the wiki source we can’t say if the information come from a good wiki or not, but even, you know better than me that to handle a chain quest you need to have turned in all others chain pieces ones).
I could answer you just for the macro problems, so:

  • 1 it is not a problem of spells, there is something wrong in the macro typing, so, post it :slight_smile: ;
  • 2 still a typing problem, but in classic some showtooltip way is a bit broken, so, again, post your macro here;

1, 2: probably your macros are wrong.
3: select player and you can see his buffs.
4. quests are shareable but you must complete all previous quests in the chain. So yeah, basically not shareable, unless you abandoned it for some reason.
5. Red bags increase your character run speed.

There were! Everybody knew who they were, even if they had no title (yet).

10

Of course everyone knew the top-10 guilds GMs. Just couldn’t resist to troll a bit that chap thinking he could wear the title proudly.

11

Yeeees I know it was just tongue-in-cheek, couldn’t help myself either ;D

12

More like it was more practical to say non-Scarab Lords than non-Owners of Black Qiraji Resonating Crystal, but hey, you do you :stuck_out_tongue:

13

The only macro that shows the description of the spell is the Power Word: Shield. All other macros show just the name i give to them.

Macro are like this :

#Showtooltip Renew
/cast [@mouseover, help, exists, nodead][@player]Renew

Also, only the Heal macro works as i said before if i click the player’s icon that is in my group. All other spells work only with mouseover on the character. Why?

14

So. Are you a GM of a top-10 guild on your realm? If so, why to post from retail char?

15

It’s just #showtooltip
Without a spell name

16

I was just making a joke. I wouldn’t loot Lashlayer’s head even if asked to.

So for real red linen bag increases movement speed or its a joke?

And what about mouseover on icons?

18

Aye, and gives +100 AP. Info 100% :grin:

Sorry, can’t say anything about mouseover. Classic API is not the vanilla one, all these macros would never work in 1.12

19

Macros do the first available comand so the typing is important.

#showtooltip Renew
/cast [@mouseover,help,exist,nodead][help][@player]Renew

if mouseover (without clicking) an ally then heal → if not → if targeted ally then heal → if not → heal yourself

If you put

[help]

before

[@mouseover]

then the heal will be casted on the avaiable targetted ally, if any ally was in taget, than the cast will be on the mouseovered one.

Here in classic sometimes putting the spell name after showtooltip is necesary, it’s a known bug.

Mouseover on icons or on ally character is the same thing for @mouseover macro.

But why the exactly same macro with Heal spell work?
