Hi,

I was wondering if you could somehow create a conditional statement before taking action in the macro,

i.e. if self is being targeted for a spell attack  
cast this, otherwise do this.

Conditionals _like the one the poster is asking about_ would be _against_ the TOS

Basic _conditionals_ like _IF INDOORS_ or _FORM_ or _FLYING_ etc … are deemed ok …
