Why Would 4.0.1 Break This Macro?

[Mercurio]

Hey guys,

I've used this macro as a general accept macro for a long time. With the introduction of 4.0.1, it will no longer accept group invites.

I can click Accept on group invites, but the macro no longer works. It is very odd b/c I've quintuple-checked the syntax and taken portions of the macro that contain the AcceptGroup(); portion into other macros and it works just fine. The other parts seem to work fine as well. What simple thing am I missing?

/run AcceptGroup();ConfirmSummon();AcceptQuest(); AcceptTrade(); RetrieveCorpse(); RepopMe();StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE");
/click LFDRoleCheckPopupAcceptButton;
/click LFDDungeonReadyDialogEnterDungeonButton;StaticPopu p_Hide("CONFIRM_SUMMON");

[ocuus]

/click LFDDungeonReadyDialogEnterDungeonButton;StaticPopu p_Hide("CONFIRM_SUMMON");

is there supposed to be a space between the u and p for StaticPopup_Hide ????

just a though thats the only thing that looks out of place

If I had to guess, I'd say the problem is combining a /click with a normal script command in line 3.

/click != /run

So your new macro would look like this:

/run AcceptGroup();ConfirmSummon();AcceptQuest(); AcceptTrade(); RetrieveCorpse(); RepopMe();StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE"); StaticPopup_Hide("CONFIRM_SUMMON");
/click LFDRoleCheckPopupAcceptButton
/click LFDDungeonReadyDialogEnterDungeonButton

Thanks for the replies.

ocuus, not sure what that space is in my post. Checked it and it isn't in my macro.

Ughmahedhurtz, I tried your switch and it still isn't working. Same issue - other parts of the macro still work.

Looking at the problem a little further, when I execute the macro the inviter gets a message that the character declined my group invite (not before I click it, so it isn't like an auto-decline thing).. Any other thoughts?

[Jafula]

Addons auto declining for you. Jamba does it as well as some well known UI complilations that I forget the names of.

Edit: Reread your post a bit closer - its not addons - its the StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE") interfering with the AcceptGroup().

StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE") declines the invite.

You need AcceptGroup() and then a delay and then the StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE").

[Mercurio]

That seemed to be the issue, Jafula, thanks!

I took the StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE") and put it into another macro and the accept macro works fine.

It is odd that that macro worked just fine until 4.0.1 and it is a bit of a bummer to have to hit two keys to do what only required one before, but I'm happy for a solution to something I use 12 times a day

BTW, there isn't any way to add a delay within a macro so I could keep it to one key, is there?

[Noids]

Nah delays are a no go area. You can achieve them with third party hardware/software but they are outside of the ToS

You could use Jamba to do the party invite thing for you though or simply have your toons in a jamba team with auto acccept group invite from team selected. This is how I get away with a one key invite/accept buttotn.

[Ughmahedhurtz]

You can try

/in 2 /run StaticPopup_Hide("PARTY_INVITE")

or some variant of that. I know it works for chat and a few other minor things. Never tried it out of combat on other things.

[Sam DeathWalker]

So delays out of combat are not against the TOS?

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Using the "/in" command is obviously OK as they provide the command for your use. I'd be very wary of extrapolating that to encompass any other delay mechanisms.
