Macro help!

I want a macro that can do the following.

1. Start attacking my target.
2. Cast Stormstrike if it is available.
3. If Stormstrike isn't cast (target is out of range, timer is up, etc.) I want it to cast Purge(Rank 2)

This one button would give me something to mash when in combat. It would hopefully use Purge until I'm in range for Stormstrike.

I can get a macro that does the first 2, but I am at a loss at how to get it to do a second thing.

Not allowed, since TBC came out, which was the conclusion of the people I was talking to over IRC. If you need confirmation: http://www.wowwiki.com/HOWTO:_Make_a_Macro#Logic

Sorries.

to bad there is no [range] option =(

however, what you can do is using mouse button 1 for SS, and mouse button 2 for purge:

Code: Select all

/cast &#91;harm,button&#58;1&#93; Stormstrike
/cast &#91;harm,button&#58;2&#93; Purge
/startattack &#91;harm&#93;

the harm part is to prevent error mesages when targeting a friendly player.

This should work somehow though. You can make a macro to drop three different totems with a single button. But I can't seem to get the same logic to work for this situation :/

Hmmm... wonder if this will work. Can't test it right now.

Code: Select all

/castsequence reset=1 Stormstrike, Purge&#40;Rank 2&#41;

/castsequence reset=1 Stormstrike, Purge(Rank 2)

That should cast Stormstrike first then if you click it again within 1 second it will cast Purge. But since the Global Cooldown is a bit longer than 1 second it wont do anything

So change 1 to the cooldown of Stormstrike and it should work.
