i got a macro kinda like this... and it works everywhere except in dalaran and wintergrasp... both places i am forced to manualy choose land mount with right click because it tries to use the flying mount there
is there a way to make the macro not attempt to use flying mount in dalaran?
thanks

It's an issue with the conditional not properly changing for no fly zones.
There IS a very ugly /script macro you can use to get it done however.

Yup. Not sure if you can go simpler (I'm a druid and rarely bother with mounts even when grounded, so I haven't played with it personally), but here's a random mount macro from my guild forums:
/run local
t={Y,Y}
if IsMounted()then return elseif not IsFlyableArea()or "Wintergrasp"==GetZoneText()or "Dalaran"==GetRealZoneText()and "Krasus' Landing"~=GetSubZoneText()then
t={X,X}
end CallCompanion("MOUNT",t)
/dismount
Setup is a bit tricky. At the beginning of the first line, replace the Ys in
t={Y,Y}
with the numbers of your flying mounts- count left-to-right, top-to-bottom, and add 12 for each page you pass. Further down the line, replace the Xs in
t={X,X}
with the numbers of your land mounts. Note that you aren't limited to just two of each- you can add as many as you can fit into the macro space, just seperate them by commas. You should end up with something like:
/run local
t={2,7,8}
if ... then
t={1,5}
end ...
/dismount
Now, if you want just one mount of each type, it's a bit shorter of a macro, but you still replace then Y with your flying mount's number and the X with your ground mount:
/run local
t=Y
if IsMounted()then return elseif not IsFlyableArea()or "Wintergrasp"==GetZoneText()or "Dalaran"==GetRealZoneText()and "Krasus' Landing"~=GetSubZoneText()then
t=X
end CallCompanion("MOUNT",t)
/dismount

I really hope they fix that in 3.0.x.

Heh. That macro came about after I took someone else's version (which had something like 251 characters) and cut down on whitespace and made a few other space optimizations.
I wouldn't say you're doomed though. What you could do is set up tables containing the mount numbers in a different macro:
/run fly_mounts = {1,15,16,19,20,21,28,33,36,37,47} --line break for readability
ground_mounts = {6,7,12,13,14,22,23,29,30,31,32,34,35,38,39,40,41,42,44,45}
/run local t=fly_mounts if IsMounted()then return elseif not IsFlyableArea()or "Wintergrasp"==GetZoneText()or "Dalaran"==GetRealZoneText()and "Krasus' Landing"~=GetSubZoneText()then t=ground_mounts end CallCompanion("MOUNT",t)
/dismount
What you'd have to do here is to use the first macro once every time you log on; afterwards, the second macro will work fine for the rest of that session. To preserve the contents of the first macro across sessions would require a full-on addon, I think.

Sorry, that was badly worded- yes, the contents of the macro would persist. But the effects of the macro (setting the contents of the tables fly_mounts and ground_mounts) will not persist between sessions. An addon could set those up at load time.
As for the macros not working, did you make sure to remove the comment ("--line break for readability") from the first?
/run fly_mounts = {1,15,16,19,20,21,28,33,36,37,47} ground_mounts = {6,7,12,13,14,22,23,29,30,31,32,34,35,38,39,40,41,42,44,45}

*shrug* Just tested it on my warlock. Worked fine.

There wasn't anything in the PTR notes that I saw for 3.0.8 about fixing the flyable condition :\. I'll wait til that patch goes live and then I'll look at updating my macros, I guess.

Ever heard of the
mounted
condition? There's a
macros guide and reference
- it was written for a reason. The Dalaran/Wintergrasp situation is an bug in the normal functionality, and requires special handling, but there's no reason you shouldn't be able to figure out the basic macro on your own.
