Trouble with mouseover macro

[Zithaari-argent-dawn]

Hello

I want to set up a macro that A) targets my mouseover target, and B) targets myself if there is no mouseover target available.

The problem is that while my mouseover targeting works, my self targeting does not.

/cast [@mouseover] [@player] Riptide

/cast [@mouseover] [] Earth Shield

For instance, these macros will target my mouseover target, but it won’t actually target me if there are no mouseover targets. On the other hand, this macro:

/cast [@mouseover] [] Chain Heal

This macro works, prioritizing first any available mouseover target, and if not found will target me as usual instead.

I am not sure why that one works but the others don’t, and I hope you can see what’s wrong.

can you try

/cast [@mouseover, exists] [@player] Riptide

[Elvenbane-kazzak]

All @unit tests require an existence check (exists, help, harm) or the game assumes the unit exists and that condition will always return true.

Base Healing Macro

Alt: Self Cast
Mouseover Friend: Cast on Mouseover
Target Friend: Cast on Target
Target Enemy Targeting Friend: Cast on Enemy’s Target
Default casting behavior. This condition also serves to generate the correct tooltip.

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:alt,@player] [@mouseover,help,nodead] [help] [@targettarget,help,nodead] [] SPELL

Basic Helpful Mouseover Macro
