[bug] macro not reseting to beginning when out of combat or target is changed

1 - make any macro with several lines, let's say beggining with Flame Shock.
2 - hit a dummy a few, see the macro rows working fine...
3 - stop hitting at some point in the middle of the macro, let's say spell in line 5 named Frost Shock.
4 - go out of combat and hit another target
5 - The macro doesn't start from beginning, instead it starts hitting from where it stopped on previous target, in this case starts from line 6 of macro.

Nothing I do can make it start from first line, unless I reload ui.

Sometimes I could cycle between macro button 1, hitting ALT while in combat, but this not always work, and not only cycle but also cast the first one it's showing before cycling the icon ( not sure if that cycling is intended behavior or not )

Question is, there is any code I can put in macro at first line to always reset it to the first line when macro button gets called?

thanks

I tried what you are describing and don’t get the behaviour you are describing. GSE macros Cannot reset on changing target you have to do this manually (see 2 below) but the exiting combat reset for me works every time. Five things to check: 1/ check your options that macros reset automatically out of combat. 2/ enable the reset modifiers in GSE options to manually reset a macro 3/ when using a dummy check that you are actually exiting combat 4/ your macro has either a gold tick in the combat reset box (always reset when leaving combat) or a silver tick (reset if my options say to and I have 1/ enabled from above) 5/ check that the Out of Combat queue is running and not hung (you can monitor this by assigning the GSE LDB plugin to a LDB display mod and hovering over it when you leave combat). If this is not running it’s usually due to a bad macro somewhere breaking it. TimothyLuke

3 - ah that was my error, i wasn't leaving combat and was tabbing to another one, bazinga! :)

4 - where do I find that gold/silver tick?

Other minor thing i found here: Everytime I start a new combat, I have to click the button twice to see the macro line 1 working, the first hit blinks the icon but does nothing.
Is that behavior normally expected ?

Also. Does global cooldown happens to reset the macros in any way? Looks like hitting a proc spell, like Earth Shock causes the macro to start from the beginning. That's normal ?

And at last, I don't understand the utility of the macro style casting like 1 12 123 1234... In what situation I could use it as a shaman Elemental or Healer? Could you point me an example for this kind?

thanks man! :)

Ah, I forgot one: did you make keyboard shortcut to cycle between macro spells while in combat? I acidentallly hit alt key, and the spells started changing in the button, I loved it but this not happen everytime. It would be greate to have this out of combat too, in case we want to start from the middle of the macro for some reason. Sometimes I clicked alt to cycle and it was casting spell, then cycling.
I dont know if it's a happy bug that shouldnt be there or if the cycling was really there on purpose but not working well.. What you say? :)

Hi Luciana, The question about Priority and 1 12 is answered here: https://github.com/TimothyLuke/GnomeSequencer-Enhanced/wiki/Understanding-Priority This talks about what happens When you hit the macro and what line Does it go to. The other question - anytime you hit the macro it will advance irrespective of if you are in combat or out of it. Some Macros have other functions that are trigger by combining your macro with Shift, alt or control. Timothy Minahan M 0406 413 680 | E [email protected]

The gold silver tick is when you edit the macro. TimothyLuke

And no Global cool down doesn’t reset the macro in any way. It will try the next spell irrespective of the state of the gcd. Obviously if the gcd is in effect the spell won’t fire and it will move on. TimothyLuke
