Macro Question

Valarouko · 05-09-2008, 11:43 AM

One quick question about macro writing...is there a way to set a macro to say something conditionally? For example...last nght, I was in Chardok and had resist problems with mezzing some of Lvl 84 mobs in there and my macro states which mob the spell was targetted at ("%t has been mezzed&quot SMILEY , but what I don't want to do is have my macro spit that out two to three times while I get past resists and get the mezz to stick. Is there a way to tell the macro to say its thing ONLY when there is no resist?

Not that I know of. They're pretty adamant about not allowing scripted play so I doubt anything would be implemented to allow if/then clauses within the macros. I'd suggest perhaps altering the macro to say "attempting to mezz %t" or maybe have an unmacro'd button for those resist-heavy days.

*nod* In times of heavy resists, it's better to have a decoupled statement message rather than one which has a statement with the spell. The downside to that is that it takes more hotbar buttons SMILEY
