Auto Shoot MacroFollow

Hello,

I am pretty new to this whole Macro thing. Is there a way to make a Macro that will allow me to fire my Bow one time and then stop? I ask since this could be useful when I get around to doing instances and am asked to Trap.

Cheers!

perfectly safe, or you can shoot an arcane shot and then esc out- nothing to worry about and instant :)

There are several ways you can do this...

One has been mentioned already: just hit the ESC key.

What I tend to use is a macro consisting simply of the following (if I remember correctly):

#showtooltip Distracting Shot 
/cast Distracting Shot 
/stopcasting 
(or /stopattack, I forget which one I'm using, and I'm at work now)

You can replace Distracting Shot with Arcane Shot if you rather use that.

This way I don't have to worry about hitting another key when trapping. Sometimes there's already enough going on.

Another thing you can do is turn off sticky targeting in the interface options. Then, you can just click your target, Arcane Shot or Distracting Shot, and then click off the target (click the ground or something, not another mob). That makes you stop attacking right away.
