CastSpellByName('Life Tap(Rank 2)')
- Result
- Casts Life Tap (This example is warlock specific). When the (Rank X) string is omitted, the highest rank of the spell which the user has in his spellbook is cast. This is not true for Stone creation spells (i.e. "Create Firestone"), because they do not use "ranks".
- Description
- Casts a spell by the spells given name.
- Note:
- You might encounter difficulties when using this on a localized version of WoW.
- See the Unicode part of the Localization HOWTO for more details about editing a source file containing localized strings.
- This problem does only appear when working with Lua source files. When you're using macros, inside the WoW client, it should work in unicode directly.
An FYI, as an antibot measure, this function only operates when called directly from a button click. If you try to call it from an event handler such as OnEvent(event) or OnUpdate(elapsed) it will not work. Template:WoW API
