What would be a macro so that whenever I place Vigilance on someone it whispers them "You have [Vigilance]!" Specifially being able to link the ability itself in the whisper would be nice. Help me, dear fellow tanks!

[Porcini]

I'm not certain that you can whisper a linked spell, however you could have a simple macro such as:

/cast Vigilance
/script SendChatMessage("You have Vigilance!", "WHISPER", nil, UnitName("target"));

[Lore]

That second line can just be replaced with:
/w %t You have Vigilance!



For extra luls, make it say "You are the bomb!" or "Conflagrate on YOU!"

My current one is:

#showtooltip
/cast [target=targettarget,exists,help][] Vigilance
/script SendChatMessage("Vigilance on you!!","WHISPER","Common",UnitName("targettarget"));
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(string.format("Vigilance on %s",UnitName("targettarget") ))

Only thing I'm not happy about is that I can only write it to send a tell to either the target of target *OR* the target. I dont think it's possible to decide on the fly.

You could use the [button:1] if you don't mind adding an extra thing to remember during a fight?
EG.
I made this macro for tanking Kaelthas Sunstrider, In order to help me keep track of changing targets during this fight.

/target [button:1] lord sanguinar; cosmic infuser
/5 Nibbit is on the {X}
/script if (GetRaidTargetIndex("target")~=7) then SetRaidTargetIcon("target", 7); end


Line 1: When I click this macro it will target the lord when I left click or the mace if i right click
Line 2: just spams X in the tank chan{5 for me} (I will prob remove this)
Line 3: puts a raid icon (1-8, were 7=X) on my current target
Note: line 3 only works in a group were i have assist or am leader but does not break the macro if i'm not.

Can I give /script a conditional like that?

[ussnorway]

Yes and no. you can use option buttons to change the target of your spell/ ability and even what action you take against them. It’s all in how you word your macro.
Simple Eg.

#showtooltip
/use [button:2] Adamantite Weightstone; Adamantite Sharpening Stone
/use [button:2] 16;17
I use this macro to put weight stones on my main hand or sharpening stones on my off hand.
I don’t think you can put wild cards into the wow scripts.
Eg.
/script [button:2]
Won’t work because script and [button:2] are different languages and can’t be used in the same program line… I think?
Sorry but I don’t play a pallie and I’m not exactly sure what you are trying to achieve.
If you are happy for your macro to change your target to;
Your target, your targets’ target, a known target “eg. Nibbit or Nibbit’s pet” or your focus
Then yes you can use options to do what you want because a simple line like the one Lore suggested will work
/w %t You have Vigilance!
How ever if you want to wis an unknown target then I’m not aware of any macro that can keep track fast enough.

mouseover is probably the closest I can think of offhand.


Edit:

Making a nice little mouseover macro with a whisper along the lines of what Lore was saying could prove to be fun to use in combat...

Wasn't there some Protoss quote from Starcraft to the tune of:
"We aarre Vigilant..."

Arbiters.

[Antioch]

Wow thanks guys it works like a charm...except it tends to be a bit spammy during hectic battles where I smite my hotkey with many presses (yes I know 'press it only once' but it's not that easy during fights! Try pressing your Devastate "just once" every GCD :P.) Is there a way to just whisper it once to a target, no matter how many times I press the button, thus avoiding whisper spams?

[ussnorway]

Sorry but macros can't think for you mate. A Macro can't decide if the second time you pressed was a mistake and choose to ignore your instructions & just do whatever it wants, ummm well perhaps if Microsoft made it?
