Pull Timer macro without DBM

Guides UI and Macro
1
Hey,

Title says all. Can someone help me with a countdown macro without the use of addons like DBM? I tried to create one myself but I didn't get it to work. Would be nice to have like a 5 second countdown.

Make these 6 and click them one by one every second
1) /rw PULL in 5s
2) /rw PULL in 4s
3) /rw PULL in 3s
4) /rw PULL in 2s
5) /rw PULL in 1s
6) /rw PULL NOW

Thanks, so it is currently not possible to create a countdown in a one-button press? It's quite strange in my opinion this feature isn't standard and not even possible without an external.

No there is no wait in macro, when you use macros it execute as a whole instantly.

It's possible with addons like SlashIn (or old Ace2)
  • https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/slash-in
    • /rw PULL in 5s
    /in 1 /rw PULL in 4s
    /in 2 /rw PULL in 3s
    /in 3 /rw PULL in 2s
    /in 4 /rw PULL in 1s
    /in 5 /rw PULL NOW
    You can also use scripts
    /run local x=5 C_Timer.NewTicker(1, function(self) if x<0 then self:Cancel() else SendChatMessage(format((x>0 and "PULL in %ds" or "PULL NOW"), x), "RAID_WARNING") end x=x-1 end)

    Been using this for years.
    /run local w,f,T,C="SAY",CnD or CreateFrame("Frame","CnD"),1,10 f:SetScript("OnUpdate",function(s,e)T=T+e if T>1 then T=0 SendChatMessage(C>0 and "Pull in "..C or ">> Pull Now <<",w)C=C-1 if C<0 then s:Hide()end end end) f:Show()

    Next time read the thread first to realize that
    1. This solution has already been posted, including the note that the /in command requires an addon (an information you do not provide)
    2. The thread is almost a year old and everyone here has long moved on.

    Nope. /in is confirmed. Works now without addon :>

    disabled "slashin", tried "/in 1 /g test" - nothing happened. its pretty likely some addon has adopted that command.
    also, it would be possible to strip dbm and thelike of their respective pulldown timers and use them without boss-mode announcements.
