Writing a Macro

Macro Commands

Macro: A macro is a small script that is used to combine several actions in a single button, with the potential for a (limited) amount of intelligent choice without player input.
Command Use Syntax Notes

/use Casts the ability, item or spell /use [Conditional] First Spell; [Conditional] Second Spell Identical to /cast
/castsequence Casts the abilities in order, then repeats /castsequence reset=ResetFunctions [Conditional] First Spell; Second Spell Can use reset= to determine when to return to the first ability

Macro Conditionals

Macro Conditionals are used to establish the parameters within which the commands you use will activate. For example,
/cast [harm] Shadow Word: Pain; [help] Power Word: Shield

Will cast Shadow Word: Pain if your target is unfriendly, and Power Word: Shield if your target is friendly. All conditionals can also be inverted with a prefix of no – for example, [harm] (is my target unfriendly) and [nohelp] (is my target not friendly) are functionally identical.
