[Hunter] Change Action bar on melee attack

[Hunter] Change Action bar on melee attack

by lichkuan » Sun Mar 27, 2016 5:53 pm

Hello,

I want to know which addon I can use to switch automatically my main action bar with a new one for my melee attacks (raptor strike...etc) when mobs are too close ?

I'm using modui.

thanks.

and
HunterBar_RangeSwitch which I can't find an online source for, but I have in my backups.

You can use macros to make your life much easier. My current hunter alt is level 26, and I have maybe 6 action buttons. You can macro actions based on distance to target so, for instance, I have macroed a "Slow" button:
Code: Select all
/run if CheckInteractDistance("target", 3) then CastSpellByName("Wing Clip") else CastSpellByName("Concussive Shot") end

Concussive Shot when at a distance and Wing Clip when close.

There is also a great "Situational Stings" macro to combine stings and have them cast on the appropriate targets.

With Supermacro addon and the way the vanilla API works, you can do some amazing stuff. I use a Razer Naga mouse and want to have all my stuff available on the 12 mouse buttons, and I do. I also use Bartender2 which has a nice auto-paging feature so I get different buttons when targeting a friendly target, or when I switch stances. Combined with some killer macros, I'm really using mainly around 9 of the buttons on my mouse (the bottom 3 are a little harder for me to reach with my gigantic manhands, so I try to keep them free or for lesser-used abilities).

I'm not a pro, but I love building macros, sharing what I know, and learning more.

Discord Action Bars (3.16 seems to work well on Nostalrius) has a *lot* of conditions that you can use to switch action bars, separate buttons, etc. including action in/out of range. I'm sure you could set it up easily with that.

Roadblock I can't find this addon for Vanilla WoW and it is indispensable! Can you link the original you have on Github or something?

It's automatic if you're playing Warrior/Druid/Rogue. For other classes, you have to manually toggle it on via the settings. It's called Bar Flipping if I remember correctly.
