Is it possible via a macro to cast a ground based AOE spell such as Blizzard centered on your current target rather than have to place and click the floor?
If you have a programmable keyboard or mouse, you can make a keybind that combines the pressing of a key and the mouse click so it is done in one motion. - YouTube
Not directly from the Blizzard API that’s available for macros. We just don’t have access or control over this.
I found this list on Wowhead: Wowhead Forums
There seems to be many threads with asking about what Macros can do what. This thread was made as a sort of remedy for said threads. Just scroll down, and see which section best fits your situation.Macros
1. Cast X and Y spell at the same time.
Macros can’t do this, simply because of the Global Cooldown.
There are a few ways around this.
- If a spell isn't on the GCD, it can be used in a macro along with other spells not on the GCD and at most one spell on the GCD
<li> If a spell is classed as "Next Melee" (like Rune Strike, Heroic Strike, etc.), then it can be used after a GCD spell is used</li>
.
2. Cast X spell if you have enough Mana/Energy/Rage/RP, else cast Y spell.
This is not possible. It would be playing the game for you, and Macros can’t do that.3. Cast X spell if you have Y buff, else cast Z spell.
Not possible. Although UnitBuff() (which checks buffs on a unit) is usable by macros, CastSpell() (which casts spells) isn’t, meaning you can’t use this code to cast spells.4. Cast X spell without pressing a button.
Macros cannot be used with no user input (pressing a key). (Thanks HighFive)
5. Target something by icon.
Can’t. /target (the command used to target a unit) can’t recognise icons mobs are maked with.(Thanks Paolo)6. Cast X when Y is on cooldown.
Can’t do it. Macros can’t check for Cooldown on any spells.
7. Cast an AoE spell, without selecting a target area.
No. Although Macros can click on frames, it can’t click on the WorldFrame (the ground, sky, everything you see in WoW that isn’t part of the UI).8. Click X object.
Nope. Macros can’t click on objects.
9. Cast X, then wait for Y amount of time, then cast Z.
Good news, there is a /in command.
Bad news, it doesn’t work with spells.Addons.
1. Walk me from X location to Y location.
NO. You absolutely CANNOT do this. It’s actually a bot, and is against Blizzard’s Terms of Service. If caught, you face a swing of the banhammer. The name of a bot is even censored on Wowhead forums.2. Make me look like a Tauren, instead of a Gnome.
Nope. Again, it’s against Blizzard’s ToS, but carries a lighter sentence. Ask yourself this:Can I modelchange? Yes, you can. May I modelchange? No, you may not
GS-E can work around some of these but as a rule of thumb these be the rules.
