Script that can execute a macro upon changing (PvP) talents

I have a macro that I would like to run every time I change a PvP Talent. Is that possible to do? Thanks guys!

I'm sure there's a much more elegant solution, but I came up with this quickly:

Code:

/run local f = CreateFrame("Frame") f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_PVP_TALENT_UPDATE") f:SetScript("OnEvent", function() print("HelloWorld") end)

Or if you want to put it in an addon...

Lua Code:

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_PVP_TALENT_UPDATE")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
    print("HelloWorld") 
end)

That's awesome! Do you think its possible to have that script activate a macro that's on my bars?

If it helps, this is the macro I'm running:

#showtooltip
/run local G=GetSpellInfo SetMacroSpell(GetRunningMacro(), G"Thoughtsteal" or G"Shadowfiend")

I'm using it just for displaying the tooltip (to try and never see that blank "?" on my bars).

Before installing this script, create a macro called "myFavouriteMacro" and drag it to an action bar.

You can turn the script into an addon using https://addon.bool.no/

Lua Code:

local macro1 = [=[#showtooltip
/cast Thoughtsteal]=]
 
local macro2 = [=[#showtooltip
/cast Shadowfiend]=]
 
local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_PVP_TALENT_UPDATE")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
  EditMacro("myFavouriteMacro", nil, nil, GetSpellInfo("Thoughtsteal") and macro1 or macro2)
end)
