Rogue macro help

[supamario00]

I was wondering if there is a way to macro Preparation, Vanish, and Ambush but only casting Preparation if I am in combat and Vanish is on cooldown

[Ualaa]

There is no way for a macro to know if another spell is on cooldown or not.
However in combat and not in combat are easy.

You could use:
#show Vanish
/stopattack
/cast [combat] Vanish; [nostealth] Stealth


You could easily make a /castsequence [combat] Vanish, Preparation, Ambush..... if you wanted.

Ualaa, is there a way to instigate a /click command with a conditional?

What exactly are you wanting to do?

To issue a click command to a button if the button could somehow have a boolean method for a positive response.

For example, if a macro is in cooldown mode, you will see in the UI that the macro is grayed out. Is it possible for a click conditional to target if the target is true (false being grayed out).

Well, /click accepts options (reference: MACRO click - WoWWiki), so it seems reasonable to assume that you can use something like [@target, exists, harm].

[Ualaa]

/Click is basically the same as, press this macro.
Or having one macro, simultaneously also press another.

We're still limited to one GCD action from all of the macros which are pushed.
With the first GCD then causing all of the others to "stick" for that time.
And in the case of multiple spells, the earliest has to resolve itself completely, before later options can fire off.

A macro cannot tell if a spell is on cooldown or not.
Nor can it tell how many combo points a target has.
Or how much energy/mana/runic/rage the target or player has.

We can, with commas and knowledge of consistent spam speed, insert desired delays between one spell and the re-firing of that spell/ability.
And we can control the order, or priority rather, of the various abilities.

Any given macro can use valid conditionals, such as [stealth], [combat], [harm], [help], [exists], [dead], [mod], [no-x], etc.



TLDR:

It is impossible for the macro to make any kind of decision, based on if another ability is on cooldown or not.

But, based on our spam speed and no-actions (commas) in our macros, we can determine very closely how long after the first execution, until the next execution of an ability.

BTW i think I found a glitch in WoW

On my Rogue if I press Hemo and Shiv they both hit even if there isn't enuff energy to do them both. It also ignores GCD
