Calling a macro within another macro

Post by Maelchav

Hello all.

I haven't been able to find an answer to this, so I'd like to ask... is it possible to call a macro from within another macro? I know you can set up a macro that will click another button, but I'm hoping to be able to do something like this:

/castsequence Macro1, Macro2, Macro3

where Macro1 is like:
/castrandom spell1, spell2, spell3

Macro2: /cast spell4

Macro3: /castrandom spell5, spell6, spell7

So basically I'd like to be able to access a macro without it being mapped to a key. Has anyone done this?

Thanks in advance.

I know it is possible, but i dont know if it is within a /castsequence

You do it via /click <NameOfTheButtonYourMacroIsOn>

example: /click MultiBarLeftButton2

OK, but you don't think it's possible to do without mapping the "nested" macros to their own buttons? Ideally I'd like to just use the name within another macro (as if it were a spell name), but it's looking less and less possible. I'll have to try it out when I get home and hope to get the syntax right (if there is any).
Thanks.

If you use an action bar addon, you can map the button on one of the extra bars then hide it.

Well, I dont know why you want to do that, but you just have to make your own addon :P With every key press you need doing something.
