Macros no longer working since TWW?

Guides UI and Macro
1

Hello everyone, anyone else having issues with macros not working since TWW launched? Did blizz change something?

I often use this string to shout something while casting a spell if its off cooldown but none of them work now.

Anyone savvy with macros that might be able to help? This is one of the macros:

#showtooltip
/run if GetSpellCooldown(357210) == 0 then SendChatMessage(“Citizens of Dalaran! Raise your eyes to the skies and observe! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”, “YELL”) end
/cast deep breath

I asked the same question in my guild discord and on a FB group but got nowhere so thought I’d try here, any help appreciated!

Do they still work when you’re in an instance?

3

They don’t work at all

4

Change GetSpellCooldown to C_Spell.GetSpellCooldown.

5

I changed what you asked and it still doesn’t work :man_shrugging:

Then turn on errors and see what’s happening

Ok so that error clearly shows that you didn’t make the change I recommended, and that’s why it’s not working.

No popup comes up when i put your change in the macro, but it still does not work. The spell casts normally and it shows the tooltip, but no /yell happens.

Fixed it for ya:

#showtooltip
/run if C_Spell.GetSpellCooldown(357210).startTime==0 then SendChatMessage("Citizens of Dalaran! Raise your eyes to the skies and observe! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!","YELL")end 
/cast Deep Breath

Enjoy.

This works better than the other guys suggestion but it will still /yell even when the spell is on cooldown which it shouldn’t, any suggestions? I appreciate the help.

13

Oh, I tested it out on my Evoker, the spell ID (357210) is wrong . It should be 433874.

#showtooltip
/run if C_Spell.GetSpellCooldown(433874).startTime==0 then SendChatMessage("Citizens of Dalaran! Raise your eyes to the skies and observe! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!","YELL")end 
/cast Deep Breath
