Question Smart Buttons???

I like LunarSphere's buttons, I just don't need all the other weight.

Features I'm looking for in an action bar mod;
1. Simply drag spells/items to it to setup
2. Separate spells/items for left and right clicking (middle buttons optional)
3. Have special abilities like best food item, mana potion, healthstone, etc...

Example actions;
1. Left click to make a teleport, right click to make a portal
2. Right click to conjure food, left click to use best food item
3. Left click to use best ground mount, right click to use best flying mount
4. Left click to apply Power of Fortitude, right click to apply Prayer of Fortitude
5. Also to behave like the Blizzard buttons. Simply drag an item to it to set it.

LunarSphere is a bit heavy for just wanting the button behavior.

Anyone have a suggestion for an Action/Button bar that does this?

You could look at Macaroon. It allows every button to be a macro (not interfering with your normal macro allotment).

Still looking for an addon that allows these functions... Macaroon wasn't quite the addon to supply those features. Thanks for the info though.

actually I would have to suggest you look back at macaroon again and dive into macros

for the left and right click a macro as simple as

/cast [mod: button:1] teleport
/cast [mod: button:2] portal

I believe will work.

additionally with macaroons ability to make pop-up bars hidden buttons and mouse overs it makes keeping your UI clean much easier personally I have over 100 buttons on my screen (many are hidden inside pop outs and several are invisible) and macaroon makes it all possible.

I understand what you're after. I doubt it exists. Items (1) and (2) are conflicting statements. Item (2) is exactly why macros exist. Furthermore, macros are extremely easy to write. Macaroon is the best I've found for many massive macros and highly customizable.

As for (3), you might want to return to LunarSphere. There are only a couple of "smart button" action bars I've seen which select "best" food or "best" mount. Once you hit 80, the "best" doesn't really change, so its easy to make a macro for these, too, rather than rely on a smart button to select the best option. If you'd like random mounts & pets, I've had really good luck with GupPet, which will provide a button for "smart" summoning.

For responding to mouse clicks you can simply do:

Code:
/cast [button:1] Teleport; [button:2] Port
... and so on. You can do this for up to 5 mouse buttons with what the game provides.

The buttons are as follows (on a standard 5 button mouse):

1 Left mouse
2 Right mouse
3 Middle mouse
4 Page back
5 Page forward

Simply click the macro on your action bar with the corresponding button.

An example of one i use for my priest is as follows:

Code:
 
/focus [help,button:2]
/cast [button:1] Prayer of Healing; [button:2,target=focus] Circle of Healing
/clearfocus [button:4]
Combine that with macaroon and you have some seriously flexible buttons.
