Mod / mouseover macro

Guides UI and Macro
1

Helloes,

I’ve been struggling to make a macro involving both mod and mouseover.

I currently have a simple macro as follows:

#showtooltip
/cast [nomod] Arcane Intellect
/cast [mod:shift] Frost Armor

I’d love it if I could get mouse over to work on Arcane Intellect. When I try it, I either get mouseover but then can’t cast it on myself, or my mod doesn’t work.

Thanks in advance.

#showtooltip
/cast [nomod,@mouseover,help,nodead][nomod] Arcane Intellect
/cast [mod:shift] Frost Armor

Thanks for your help!

If you’re only trying to do 1 thing at a time you should generally only use a single /cast or /use; makes the logic a lot simpler and can eliminate some weird interactions.

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Frost Armor; [@mouseover,help,nodead] [] Arcane Intellect

Thanks for your reply, it seems to work great and as you said, eliminates weird interactions. One problem with the first macro was, I couldn’t mouseover party portraits for some reason, only mouseover on the character itself. Is this macro able to? Idk when I’ll party up again (on HC)

That sounds like you have it keybound to a mouse button. If that’s the case, that’s your problem. UnitFrames eat mouse clicks by default. You need an addon like Clique or to use Blizz’s solution if you want to do click-casting.

Yep you’re right about that, I switched and it instantly worked, thanks alot!
