Macros
General guides

Macros are series of commands designed to be executed in series.

A macro can consist of any number of /<command>s or pure text to up 255 characters. Users wishing to use more advanced commands are recommended to see the Interface Customization and World of Warcraft API sections.



How to setup a macro

  1. Type /macro
  2. Press New
  3. Enter a Name
  4. Select an icon
  5. Make your macro (click link for details)

Once your macro is made, you can either drag the icon to a toolbar or access it by typing /macro <name> from the command line.


Note on the /script command. You may include a /script [string] command in your macro, where [string] can be any valid chunk of Lua code. Multiple statements should be delimited with a semi-colon. The World of Warcraft API page lists global Lua functions that may be called.


Target Variable

In a macro, the string %t will be automatically parsed into the name of your current target.
