Editing WoW:UI FAQ/Macros and scripts (section)

=== Interacting with the World ===
{{faqq}}'''Can you help me write a macro that will automatically loot a corpse / automatically skin and loot a corpse / automatically pickpocket and loot?'''
{{faqa}}No. There is no way to loot items except via mouse clicks.

{{faqq}}'''How do I make a macro that jumps and spins 180 degrees?'''
{{faqa}}Movement related functions now require a hardware event to work so such a macro is no longer feasible. Even when it was, you could only turn at the same speed that the keyboard can turn you which is too slow to be usable in PvP. It is better to practice this maneuver using the mouse.

The default Blizzard UI has a camera function (Main Menu->Key Bindings->Camera Functions) called "Flip Camera" which rotates the camera (but not the character) 180 degrees.

{{faqq}}'''How do I make a macro/addon that tells me the distance to my target?'''
{{faqa}}The ability to obtain the exact distance between you and a non-friendly target was removed. At best, you can now only obtain a range (i.e.: Between 36 and 30 units) based on which abilities on your action bar are usable ([[API IsActionInRange|IsActionInRange(slot)]]).
You can get some more range information by using [[API CheckInteractDistance|CheckInteractDistance(unit, distanceType)]]

{{faqq}}'''Can I make a Macro that automatically picks up the WSG flag? '''
{{faqa}}This is not possible. Any interaction with the 3d world (talking to NPCs, looting...) must be done via mouse click
