Editing WoW:Making a macro (section)

==Commands that accept options==
Only the "secure" commands respond to macro options. In fact, the secure commands are the reason macro options were created in the first place. Insecure commands like chatting, emotes, etc. can be scripted using Lua and the /run command. Furthermore, Blizzard didn't want to confuse people who use semicolons in their chat messages. If /say could use macro options, the following would always just say "Hello":

 /say Hello; I'm a n00b

The following is a list of all the secure commands currently available in WoW:

* #show *
* #showtooltip *
* /assist
* /cancelaura
* /cancelform
* /cast
* /castrandom
* /castsequence
* /changeactionbar
* /clearfocus
* /cleartarget
* /click
* /dismount
* /equip +
* /equipslot +
* /equipset +
* /focus
* /petagressive
* /petattack
* /petautocastoff
* /petautocaston
* /petdefensive
* /petfollow
* /petpassive
* /petstay
* /startattack
* /stopattack
* /stopcasting
* /stopmacro
* /swapactionbar
* /target
* /targetenemy
* /targetenemyplayer
* /targetfriend
* /targetlasttarget
* /targetparty
* /targetraid
* /use
* /usetalents +
* /userandom

<nowiki>* #show and #showtooltip are not technically secure commands, but they operate with macro options just like /use and /cast.</nowiki>

<nowiki>+ /equip, /equipslot, /equipset and /usetalents are not technically secure since their functionality is available to AddOns and macro scripts.</nowiki>

If you would like a way to use macro options for insecure commands, there are AddOns that provide such capability. The AddOn, [http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info6853-MacroTalk.html MacroTalk], adds a number of /opt___ commands for each chat command and a generic /opt command that lets you use options to choose other full (insecure) slash commands.The newest SuperMacro may provide this functionality as well. [http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info12573-MacroBroker.html Macro Broker] provides this as well through a new command, /eval.
