[addon] MacroTT-V - create custom tooltips for macros

Recommended Posts

Macro Tooltips for Vanilla WoW

Create custom tooltips in macros. MacroTT-V fills in for the #showtooltip command that comes in Patch 2.0.1, and thus doesn't exist in this timeline.

Usage

MacroTT provides four slash commands to use in macros.

/mtts <spell name> - Displays the tooltip for the spell listed. The name must match exactly. Rank is optional; if not provided the highest rank will be shown.

/mtte <equipment slot> - Displays the tooltip for item currently equipped in the equipment slot. Equipment slot can be one of: ammo, head, neck, shoulder, body, chest, waist, legs, feet, wrist, hands, finger, finger1, trinket, trinket2, cloak, mainhand, offhand, ranged, wand, tabard.
/mttc <custom header text> - Displays a tooltip with the custom header text. This is usually followed by additional text (/mtta)
/mtta <additional text> - Adds the additional text to any of the above tooltips. Multiple /mtta lines can be used.


Note that macro names must be unique. The addon finds macros by name to read the macro body (GetActionInfo wasn't available until patch 2.0.1).

Examples:

/mttc A Generic Tooltip
/mtta All your
/mtta BASE
/mtta are belong to us.

/mtts Renew (Rank 5)
/mtta
/mtta Real tanks don't need healing

Does this display when a spell is on cd? ( The hourglass on your action bars )

Not sure if your question is whether the addon still displays the tooltip if a spell is on cooldown (yes it does), or if you're asking if it displays the cooldown timer (no, it just shows the stock spell tooltip), but hopefully that answers it.

Fantastic addon, just what I was looking for; one thing though.

I have a Macro set up for my hunter:

/mtts Raptor Strike

/cast Mongoose Bite

/cast Raptor Strike

So it casts Mongoose Bite/Raptor Strike accordingly and the tooltip lists Raptor Strike with all the TheoryCraft info which is really all I wanted, when I get in melee range I just mash it a couple time to start up my Auto Attack and each press brings up the yellow 'use the /help command' system text and floods the general window.

The '/mtts Raptor Strike' part is causing this message spam, can it be removed?

Good catch! I forgot to add the slash command registration. It's fixed in v.1.0.1. Thanks.

I'll check out the update tonight, looks like a pretty straightforward fix; I found you can switch to a channel that doesn't display system messages but where's the fun in that :p

I can not get this to show up in my addons menu. When I clone it in to my interface/addons folder it shows up as MacroTT-V. Named this way its a not show, if I remove the -V ii is still a no show. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for any help 

Ok don't know what i did but is showing up as MacroTT-V and working.

It's not working for me.

The /mtta part is working, not the /mtts (the spell launch, but the icon is still the generic one i choose when i create the macro).

Thank you for this gread addon Fulz,

I do have some problems I can't explain. I made a bunch of macros and everything was fine. I noticed that my "Abolish Poison" Spell had the tooltip of Regrowth. After a while though, every button showed the same tooltip, of Thorns. I added some screenshots. I'm using another addon "Doctor Druid" for spellfunctions but it doesn't usually modifies tooltips.

Also another question, since macrobuttons are not compatible with cooldown-timer-addons like omnicc, is there maybe a way to display the cooldown in the tooltip ?

MacroTT-V now supports Discord Action Bars

A bit of Discord Action Bars code has been added into MacroTT, and the DAB_ActionButton_OnEnter() will be wrapped if DAB is active. DAB features supported:

  • Modify Tooltip global option works
  • Disable Tooltip on a specific action bar works
  • DAB on event scripts should work (needs more testing to confirm)
