MacroTalk provides extended chat command support especially useful for macros. (/macrotalk or /mtk with help for IG info)

Disabling Modules

If you would prefer only to have certain functionality from MacroTalk (for instance, if you have another addon that provides similar functionality), you can disable various modules by renaming or deleting the corresponding .lua files. You can safely remove MacroTalkChatOptions, MacroTalkCommands, and MacroTalkSubstitutions which correspond to Conditional/Random chat commands, Slash commands, and Text substitutions, respectively.

Slash Commands

tellunit

Example :

/group

/opt

Example :

/rndcmd

Example :

/clearwaypoint

/cwp

Conditional chat commands

All chat commands (/say, /tell, /guild, etc.) can now accept macro options. To use this functionality, simply start the command with /opt. Note: [target=] has no effect on the output of the chat commands; it only affects the other conditionals in the clause.

Example :

/optsay [swimming] gurgle; [mounted] The cavalry has arrived!

Example :

/cast [target=focus] Polymorph /optgroup [target=focus, exists] Sheeping %f[/i]

Random chat commands

Similar to the macro options, you can now add /rnd to the beginning of any chat command to pick a random saying. The /rnd___ commands also take options to pick a different list of sayings. The lists themselves are separated by the backslash symbol (\).

Example :

/rndyell ZOMG! \ WTF?! \ You there! Check out that noise!

Example :

/rndsay [outdoors] Ahhh, the Great Outdoors! \ What a lovely day!; I wish I could go outside right now \ Must... Leave... Building...[/i]

Text substitutions

MacroTalk offers a variety of substitutions in addition to %t of the default UI. Substitutions are prioritized by the length of the code; longer codes are processed first. This means that %tl will be processed before %t. The codes are case-insensitive so %Tl is equivalent to %tL.

Straight substitutions :

%sz

%loc

%wp

%pin

%cov

%covb

%rnl

%rnlb

%lt

%rt

unit information :

%tt

You can suffix those with one of the following to return other pieces of data about the unit :

gub

pwb

pwp

pwpb

icb

gnb

utb
