Macros

There comes a time in every young lad or lass's life when they need to learn how to use macros. It may be when you start doing the frog kissing daily. It may be when you just want a button to show your mounts tab. But whenever it is you decide you want to use macros, this friendly guide will help you with this new and exciting option.

If you know anything about html, it may help to think of macros as the html of WoW--a text command, telling the game what you want it to do. To get you started, here's a list of basic commands. Just as it is in html, it's also important in macros to spell and type everything correctly. For this guide, DO copy these--> ( ) <-- they're important to the code. To make it easier to remember, everything that you will copy into your macro command with be in purple, everything that you will need to replace with your own text will be in yellow, and everything you should not copy at all is in the original text color.

• to macro something you want to say, command /say insert what you want to say

• to macro something you want to yell, command /yell insert what you want to yell
  

• to macro an emote, command /em insert what you want to emote

• or you may want to have buttons for all the basic emotes so you don't have to scroll through them everytime
  

/dance
/hug
/highfive
/kiss
/shy
etc... they say what they are in the list of emotes, complete with the slashes, just copy them exactly

• you can make a macro to use a specific item by commanding /use name of the item, exactly as it appears in your inventory
  

• you can change the way your spell icons look with macros too, although it may make things confusing since you will have your original spells in your spell book and your new spells in your macros, you can do this by commanding /cast spell name here, exactly as it appears in your spellbook and choosing the icon you want to replace your old one

• you can create a button that pops up your mount tab if 1) you don't like having all your mounts on your bars, or 2) if you don't like going into character tab first, to do this command

/run PetPaperDollFrame_SetTab(3) ToggleCharacter("PetPaperDollFrame")

• you can do the same thing with the pet tab by commanding

/run PetPaperDollFrame_SetTab(2) ToggleCharacter("PetPaperDollFrame")

• a good one to have if you do the frog kissing daily for the argent tournament is

/use Warts-B-Gone Lip Balm
/target Lake Frog
/kiss

• to switch to your main spec (if you have dual spec)

/usetalents [spec:2]1

• or to switch to your off spec

/usetalents [spec:1]2

• to let people know you are resurrecting someone

/em is resurrecting %t.
/cast name of your resurrection spell here
