Stopattack Macro

[Vonegut]

Hi there,

I'm in a need of a macro that'd stop my auto attack after using cheap shot, something like:

/cast Cheap Shot
/stopattack

but this one is not working, just like the others I've found on the Internet. I know I can use special attack angle, but my WoW is running on low fps + I'm clumsy and 'll mess up most of the time

So I'd be really grateful if someone had a working macro for that, the same goes for Expose Armor stop attack macro. Cheers!

/cast Cheap Shot
/run if IsCurrentAction(XX) then AttackTarget() end

^^ replace XX with the bar slot of your attack bind

Had a more advanced macro for this but i guess this will have to do for now

Thanks TaurenRogue, but I must be doing something wrong.

I put 49 in the brackets and I put "Attack" skill in slot 49 (white attack, 5.33% crit chance). When I press the macro, I cheap shot and go on attacking as usually. When I press the macro twice very quickly, I DO stop attacking but that is after having hit the target once with white melee attack already.

So it looks like that: I press the macro twice, cheap shot goes off, then 1 white melee attack then it stops. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks again for you effort

One more thing, maybe my macros are simply broken?

None of the macros I use seem to work, simple stuff like

/use Healing Potion
/equip Weaponname
/cast Heavy Wool Bandage

don't work at all. I'm getting the "type /help for a list of a few commands". Idk, I play since Vanilla and never had issues like that. Should I reinstall the game or I simply forgot how to macro in vanilla ? :/

/use /equip = not vanilla commands (get supermacro addon to make this work)
/cast actually works on spells only example: /cast Frostbolt() , you can use supermacro to make this part work too.

@ op ye you would need to hit the macro 2x to make it stop attacking, will try to improvise something to make it work on 1 press later today...

cheers, looking forward to it

/cast XXX
/script ClearTarget();
/script TargetLastTarget();

Works like a charm for CS without auto-attacking, EA during cc etc.

After some digging i dont think this is really possible without hitting the button twice...
You can use mine or youfie-s but both require 2+ presses to work

The Macro I posted above works with only one press.
With one press, you cast Expose Armor (for instance) and stop auto attacking, that's it!

Can you confirm that it actually works on 1 press cuz it didnt for me
