About Hunter Attack Macro

What does this macro do? Dismounts then sends pet to attack an enemy you have targeted, have your mouse cursor over, or the enemy pet already has targeted(In that order of priority) If you nor your pet have an enemy targeted it tries to target the nearest enemy in front of you in range If something gets targeted or was already targeted the pet is sent to attack If the pet did not already have a target then the pet will attack and the macro will end (this is to avoid hitting the enemy before the pet) If the pet was attacking then you will mark the target and start attacking, this applies to pressing the macro hotkey the second time as well while you are not attacking You can easily have pet attack a different target in battle but you will mark and start attacking right away was well

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

I try to download, keeps opening a instructions page.Will have to load macro manually.

Edit: for the life of me I can't get it to work.It will dismount and send in paet, but doesn't put up hunter's mark nor start attacking.

Edit2: Too long, it's not getting it all into the macro.

I am not sure what problem you are having Fred. You will probably want to edit the text in the macro-cache.txt file as I mention in the PDF then make sure it matches when you get into game (if you have another 16 macro, change the number to an unused one). Sometimes some editors may put extra return lines or spaces in the text and that will screw up the macro. All the text has to be identical in the macro text in game. Let me know if you need some 1-1 help, I am fairly busy but if you send me an email at matthewtrue@hotmail.com I will do my best to help when I have time. For everyone else: I hadn't gotten many ratings, If you enjoy the macro please give me a good rating.

Thanks,
Matt

I have recently reactivated my account. Will be on at least through the summer probably. From the testing I have done the macro is working in the 2.4.2 environment. If there are any variations or improvements you would like to see please let me know.

Thanks,
Matt

Hey everyone here are two macros i use all the time.
the first one is First attack.
/Cast Hunter's Mark
/Petattack
And the second and most important is the hunters attack macro, this macro can be modified to fit your needs.
/castsequence reset=combat/target Concussive Shot, Serpent Sting, Arcane Shot, Distracting Shot, Auto Shot
The second one took me a few days to find so i wanted to share it with others.

Good to see that people are using this macro and enjoying it, I spent 4 hours or so working on it and learning how the new macro code, my Dad is a fanatic and uses it all the time. Enjoy it everyone and the feedback is helpful to me and others if you have any to provide. I check the posts every now and again been pretty busy with school lately.

Thanks,
Matt True

I added this macro to my action bar and assigned it the key binding of ALT-S for start attack. The only thing I don't like about it is when you hit it the second time to launch your attack it uses AutoShot. Since I have Rapid Killing in my talents, I like to use Aimed or Arcane shot to hit them first.
Otherwise, this is an awesome macro. I recommended it to a friend who is a hunter and he loves it too!!

you can change the macro around to do that, just have it use the /cast Aimed Shot or the arcane and you are good to go, glad you are enjoying it

I haven't received any feedback on this macro so I assume that all 1000 of the people that have downloaded it are using it and not having any problems. Thanks for using the macro and any feedback that anyone may have feel free to add here. Thanks.

I hope that everyone is enjoying this script, 669 downloads as of today. Has anyone had any issue or want to propose a change that improves the macro? Questions are welcome as well.
