New macro format request

NOTE: There were substantial changes to macros in Cataclsym (Patch 4.0.1 and later). Many spells were renamed and much of the scripted command functionality has been modified. In an effort to keep WoWWiki posts relevant please re-validate and re-post macros that work in the current version.

Re-creating old macros Edit

When re-creating a macro in Useful macros please:

• follow the example format posted below (to get the frame around your macro, add a space before you start it)
• describe what it does
• note the version of WoW that you tested it in
• remove it from the Old macros page

Example macro Edit

/y Hooray, I made a macro!

• Use: This yells, "Hooray, I made a macro!"
• Works in 4.0.6

/cast [nocombat,equipped:fishing pole] fishing; [nocombat,flyable] ebon gryphon; [nocombat,noflyable] swift stormsaber
/cast [nocombat,Vashj'ir,swimming] Abyssal Seahorse

• Use to Fish or Mount up.
• A one button macro for flying mount, swimming mount or running mount.
• If equipped with a fishing pole, the same bound button will fish for you.
• Please write in whatever mounts you prefer to ride upon.
• Works in 4.0.6

/equip Big Iron Fishing Pole
/use 4 4

• Use equip fishing pole, then with second click it will attach a lure that you have in your 5th bag top right corner.
  • If you have a 22 slot bag: /use 4 2
• You can also write in the name of your favorite lure in place of 4 2, and place the lure anywhere, or use a fishing trinket.
• Works great in 4.0.6
