Macros

[ABanfield]

Hi, I am trying to create a macro for side button of my Logitech mouse. would like it to be for Dispel Magic at the mouse'd over target. I got
/cast [target=mouseover] dispel magic .... (no space before the macro) but it only works the first time. after the first use a faint "/" shows up in the chat box, and every attempt to use it again comes up with the "type /help for command help" messege. If i hit enter to open chat bar and then hit enter again to close it the slash is gone and first use of the macro works correctly once again with the after effect of the faint slash again. I am making the macro through Logitech mouse program. I have also made an ingame macro that works no problem, but it is not on my main action bar so I do not know how to write a macro to use a spell on a different action bar then the main one. I am using barmod and xperil aswell for more info.

You are doing some weird stuff, just go simple.
Don't make the macro in Logitech totally unnecesair and will give problems.

1- You want to do a mouseover dispel magic, here it is:

#showtooltip
/use [@mouseover] Dispel Magic

2- You need to keybind the side keys to a keyboard key, for example I keybinded them to "PG UP", and "PG DN". It's a useful binding overall and can be used in games without much trouble.

Spoiler: Show

3- After binding your mouse the next thing you need to do is bind that keys in game so you can use them.
In my case I would keybind "PG UP" and "PG DN" in a free bar slot in the WoW interface.

4- Next step is placing the macro you made in wow in the bar slot you keybinded your side mouse. If everything is correct every time you press your mouse button will trigger the macro palced in the bar.


If you need help with macros I would gladly help, I like doing them :)

Took what you suggested and made it work perfect! Found that in the keybindings option in-game it actually gives you keybinding options to each button in each bartender action bar :O so made the in-game macro and put the icon on a hidden action bar and then key mapped the button on hidden action bar to your suggested page-up key. then used the Logitech program to key-map the side mouse button to that key stroke annd works like a charm! No more slash in chat issue!

Thank you so much for the reply
