Weapon Swapping Macro?Follow

So... how do you go about making one of those?

:(

Create macro


/equip "shift click the desired weapon in this slot"

you can do the same thing with the other weapon in the same macro



example:

/equip main hand wep
/equip off hand wep

I actually did some research on this as I wanted to accomplish this myself and I haven't found anything where you can do that. I just have 2 different macros for the weapon swaps.

Or use addon like ItemRack to help, so instead of having 2 buttons, you can do something like.

Shift-Z: Swap offhand to mace
Ctrl-Z: Swap offhand to sword

Macro should be able to do the same, but I'm just lazy I guess :P

The alt/shift/ctrl thing Quor suggested would work, or you can use stance modifiers.


I use If/Then code every single day in programming class. There is a way you can do this for 1 button. Something like:

/equip [combat] <your combat weapon here>; [nocombat, stealth] <your opener weapon here>

That should do the trick if im not mistaken. Hope this helps :)




EDIT: Just came to me, if you want to be real lazy, you could probably tag the abilities associated with those weapons on there. Just a few extra lines:

/equip [combat] <your combat weapon here>; [nocombat, stealth] <your opener weapon here>
/cast [equipped: <your combat weapon here>] Sinister Strike; [equipped: <your opener weapon here>] Ambush

Just an addition to the first macro. Depending on your stance, it will equip the appropriate weapon, and when that weapon is equipped it should cast the appropriate "spell." Once again, this is for the lazy people.




EDIT2: Aparently I glossed over the fact that you were talking about swapping OH weapons. If thats the case, Demea's macro should work. If not, its probably because the game is executing the statements in order from top to bottom, and since the first statement is true, it doesnt move to the second statement. You would need to put them all in one line. Something like:

/equip [equipped: <weapon1>] <weapon2>; [equipped: <weapon2>] <weapon1>

The game should go through the whole statement before making a choice. Hope this helps.

I tried a macro and it worked to put the dagger in, but never worked to put the sword back in.

I found a mod called Rswapper that did it wonderfully, but I had to wipe my mods and didn't get it again so I don't know where I got it from.

Just look for Rswapper I suppose.

It puts the dagger of your choice in MH when you stealth and puts the sword of your choice back in MH when you come out.

Edited: It works for offhand as well, but its built-in modifier is stealth, so I don't know if it would work for you.

Especially if you bound Sinister Strike to the same macro.

I still need to put the macro in a button space in order to keybind it >_>

Offhand.

In order to be able to shiv two different poisons.

I should have done that a long time ago, it's a wonder I managed to break 1850 without it.

Use Bongos and bind things without ranks from within the spell book, no button space required.

Bongos also doubles the amount of buttons you get. Blizzard UI = 60, Bongos = 120.
