@afkuheal – first, love the name. Second, that issue is one of the main reasons I personally began using Grid – those out of range are greyed over a bit, allowing you to focus only on those that are within range. I’m not sure if the new ‘gridlike’ interface in game does that or not, I haven’t run a BG yet.

@the author – Thank you for the article, I have been looking for things that will help with healing, and some of these will do the trick, with some tweeking I will be ready for tomorrow’s xpac release!

So, it’s been a few months, but I got it!

This macro will cast Pain Suppression on a mouseover target, and whisper them a custom message! Works with my Grid+Clique just dandy!

#showtooltip Pain Suppression
/cast [@mouseover] Pain Suppression
/script local n,r=UnitName”mouseover”;if(r)then n=n..”-”..r;end;SendChatMessage(“Pain Supression is UP on you!!”,”WHISPER”,nil,n)

Alex – disable ‘click through’ on Grid.

Towards the end of this guide you state that these macros work with grid.

I have not been able to get them to work with either grid or the default UI.

The macros bound to my mouse wheel up and down work fine but the rest of the buttons on my mouse only work if I am mouse-ing over the avatar not the unit frame.

This makes healing challenging having to discern the player’s avatar among all the aoe effects,etc.

I know my macros are correct because as I said they do work perfectly as long the mouse is over the actual avatar of the player/npc. So what is wrong here?

please help?!?!?

@ James

/cast [@mouseover][] Renew

You might want to add “help, nodead” to avoid issues if your mouse is over an enemy or dead player. #showtooltip will show the tooltip for the Renew spell if you mouse over the macro and it will display the Renew icon if you select the question mark icon in the macro setup menu.

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][] Renew

… with that, the mouseover will only do it’s thing if the target under the mouse pointer is alive and friendly, otherwise renew will cast as normal (friendly target if you have one, self-cast if you have that enabled.)
