Macros broken after latest update

[Dingdong]

I've noticed that since the update, macros haven't been behaving properly.
For instance, a macro I use on almost all my characters is

Code: Select all

/use 14
/use 13
/press actionbutton2

On retail, this would activate the Trinket in slot 14 and cast the spell bound to button 2. Once that trinket's use expires, if pressed again it will activate the trinket in slot 13 and cast the spell bound to button 2.

After the latest update, this macro will only read the command of the last line, neither trinket is being activated.

This can be recreated by equipping 2 "use" trinkets (Hex's Shrunken Head/Icon of the Silver Crescent) and writing a macro to either use them by slot name, or by their actual name, followed by a command to cast a spell.

Thank you.

everything with

/use
/use

is broken and you need to do a castseq for example food :/

[Euthanized]

Yeah, there is a problem with them. I'm not sure if this was intentional or if it was a mistake, but clarification of this issue would be great. This will break so many macros and strategies for a number of people, I'm sure.

It is really weird.

If I do /use Tough Jerky on my character it just eats it, /use 13 just used my trinket.
Can you confirm that this is still bugged, and also please describe which items you have in slot 13 and 14.


Thanks for the help.

Sincerely,
Darkgroom

"/use" macros as single commands seem to work fine. The problem seems to arise if there's a command after it.

Slots 13 and 14 are Shifting Naaru Sliver, and The Skull of Gul'dan respectively.

Using the following macro:
/use Shifting Naaru Sliver
/use The Skull of Gul'dan
/cast Shadow Bolt
my character will not activate either trinket, it will skip directly to casting Shadow Bolt and the error Frame will give 2 "Interrupted" messages.

Changing the macro to /cast Shifting Naaru Sliver does not help either.

I don't believe this is limited to trinkets either, as on my mage using a macro to /use Mana Emerald and /cast Frostbolt will only cast Frostbolt. My guess is this may be related to the bandaging while eating patch, if some spells may be blocked while another command is also being given.

Hope this helps, thanks for responding!

And you can completely confirm this bug occurred after April 15th's changes?

The only thing it can be in Darkgroom's one change... I don't see how the code relates but okay. :\

[Dingdong]

Yes, definitely started after the April 15 update. I remember it working the day before, then during raid after the update my macros stopped working. I asked a friend to test /use Icon of the Silver Crescent /cast Shadow Bolt and he said the trinket does not activate for him.

Is there anything else I can do to double check this isn't isolated though? Should I delete my cache folder or WTF?

[Darkgroom]

Thank you, I will look into this.

Some macros are definitely bugged, I think it has to do with the eating/drinking casting fix. Even basic macros don't work now.

[Xaru]

Any updates? These macros worked before the 15th. These patches always break something or another.
