Right click vs. Macro?

Post by Ty » February 21st, 2013, 11:24 am

Instead of trying to right click on the pet is there a macro I could use to start the fight? It’s kind of annoying when you click and miss the pet & someone else starts the fight.

You can keybind a target macro, and I have "interact with target" already keybound, for pets inside trees/rocks etc. So that would be spam 1,2 etc. I'm sure there's a way to put it all on one macro, but I like this way because I can use it for anything I need to interact with. Anyway, hope this helps :mrgreen:

I use one macro for targeting:

/tar <pet name>
/stopmacro [noexists]
/cleartarget [dead]
/stopmacro [dead]
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 7)

which I put in my BottomRight Action Button 12 slot and keybind that to Num Pad 0. I have Num Pad . bound to Interact With Target.

Now when I am after a rare pet (say hello to Minfernal and Wanderer's Festival Hatchling :) ) I just alternate spam these two keys (or just the interact.)
