yep so the condition HAVE to HAVE translated 
good to know.
for the variable, can you adress me to a post that explain (maybe with example) how it works?
I was thinking to add variable instead of translate 10 times the same condition.
Heres how Variables work:
Here’s a real world example
The function you would want to use instead is API GetSpellInfo | WoWWiki | Fandom
and pass it the spellid inside the brackets. This will always return the local language.
HU great, now it’s more clear.
The ‘variable’ are evaluated one at load?
I mean:
- when I change a spec or a talent the evaluation is retriggered? Or i need to align it with /rl?
- the variable is executed every time you call it like a function? For example i can check if the GDC is long i will use that spell if is close to be ended or with
UnitHealth(“unit”) - Returns the current health, in points, of the specified unit.
UnitHealthMax(“unit”) - Returns the maximum health, in points, of the specified unit.
check if the targeted unit’s health is below 20% and cast Shadow Word: Death instead of skip it…
I know we are going in the close to cheat area…
Variables are calculated outside of combat. Once combat starts its locked. UnitHealth is useless in a variable as either it wont be known (0) or it will be full health. This is the bit that moves it out of cheat area. The game wont let it see the result of that function in combat.
Once you change talents, edit a macro, level, leave combat, change equipment or change specs it recalculates to what is current.
You never /reload if you have made changes to GSE as the /reload function will load what you had when you logged and wipe any changes you made along the way.
/cast [nochannelling: Void Torrent],[channelling:Mind Flay, Smite] Void Bolt
/cast [nochannelling: Void Torrent],[channelling:Mind Flay, Smite] Another spell
/cast [nochannelling: Void Torrent],[channelling:Mind Flay, Smite] a 3th spell
- Not sure what do [channelling: spell, same spell
if you are channeling spell then cast spell. so in the sample you have if you are channelling mind flay it will cast the spell if availible. In other words cancel mind flay to cast spell.
- What is the intent of this macro
the intent of the sample you have is to not cast spells while channeling Void Torrent so it will complete the channel.
- To not clip Mind Flay
no the macro is written to clip mind flay as the spells are higher priority then mind flay
- Why smite if smite is mind flay in shadow spec.
I asked the creater of the macro the same question. He said he added the smite there just in case cause sometimes mind flay showed up as smite instead.
/cast [nochannelling: Void Torrent] Void Bolt
/cast [nochannelling: Void Torrent] Another spell
/cast [nochannelling: Void Torrent] a 3th spell
That will have the same effect as the original one.
There is no need to have smite in it cause when in shadow form even if the macro says smite it still reads mindflay.
Also channeling: non channeling spell has no effect. it wont interupt cast spells only channel spells
@TimothyLuke So i made a variable named VT and value of
function() return GetSpellInfo (263165) End
Clicking the test variable button shows it returns Void Torrent. However after i do this i can nolonger edit my macros. to test it
Why cant you? What is or isnt happening after you test the variable?
You did put ~~VT~~ where you wanted Void Torrent to be eg [nochanneling:~~VT~~]
This will never return true and never come into effect. For it to work the ,Smite has to be removed.
yes i did that .
/use [nochanneling:~~VT~~,exists] Void Bolt
/cast [nochanneling:~~VT~~,exists] Ascended Blast
/cast [nochanneling:~~VT~~,exists,combat] Devouring Plague
/cast [nochanneling:~~VT~~,exists,combat] Mind Blast
When i add the variable i click save. Then i got the the macro tab and edit the macro to have the ~~VT~~ in it click save and close the editor. Normally the sequence viewer is still open after i save in editor. But now it is closed. I reopen the viewer and go into my macro to edit it. The variable is saved but the sequence did not save
There is a thing called the Out of Combat Queue. When you hit save it puts the save action and the reopen GSE action into the queue. It wont pop back up until the save action has completed. When you manually reopen it you are aborting the save action. The Minimap icon has a list of the events in the queue and also to show its state. Buttons cant be updated in combat. Part of your save action is updating the button so it has to wait.
it was happening we me never going into combat. However after a few restarts are edited the sequence first then added the variable now all works as intended. One last question. Do you know if using mod:alt mod:shift and mod:ctrl work for all languages or do they need to be alter based on language or are they universal?
from what i understand they are universal.
There is also lalt ralt and lctrl and rctrl and these seem to be more reliable on some Euro keyboards/clients than US ones.
ill start using those instead just to make sure. No point in writing in the variable to make it international if mods break lol
And ontop of that look like that also the comma between the ],[ is not correct it not hangs but is not the right syntax.
In italian i’m not traslating the mod: and the command is working, only the spell name have to be changed.
yeah the comma needs to go there
lol trouble with translation: need to go = need to go away or need to stay?
maybe is reading it as an array so is ok either way?
according to evaluator (that it’s old) no.
have to be removed unless in later version Blizzard add some flexibility and accept also the ],[ syntax.
this is working:
/cast [nochanneling:Void Torrent][channeling:Mind Flay]Void Bolt
This is not working (malformed token)
/cast [nochanneling:Void Torrent],[channeling:Mind Flay]Void Bolt
no need to have [channeling:Mind Flay] That just tells wow its ok to cast if channeling mindflay. With or without that variable wow is going to cast if your channeling Mindflay
So this /cast [nochanneling:Void Torrent]Void Bolt is all that is needed. It tells wow dont cast if im channeling Void Torrent.
A side note dont always trust macroexplain its not completley updated and it dont recognize some syntax. An example is testing it with a macro using talent notalent variables it gives errors
the comma needs to be removed
