I cannot figure out how to do this

[Saiiyna]

I have a secure button that used Netherweave bandage if you click it and I want it to use say runecloth bandage when you shift-click it. Can anyone give me a hint as to how to do this? I can make it have different targets on right and left click but the shift is killing me!


Thanks in advance!

Im a tad noobishm on this, so this might not be the best way to type this macro but this should work.

#showtooltip 
/cast [modifier:shift] Runecloth Bandage
/cast [nomodifier:shift] Netherweave Bandage

you could also just use [modifier] and [nomodifier] so whatever modifier you use when clicking it it will work. i do this on my mage for conjuring mana gems. regular click [nomodifier] uses the gem, and [modifier] lets me use control or alt or shift click to conjure.

well guys thanks for the answer but I should have been more specific. I am doing this in an Addon not a macro.

First you need to have a button frame that inherits the SecureActionButtonTemplate

<Button name="NAMEOFYOURBUTTONFRAME" hidden="false" enableMouse="true" inherits="SecureActionButtonTemplate">

Also in your XML file, you need to set up script handlers for user clicks. Add this to your OnLoad handler area

this:RegisterForClicks("LeftButtonUp", "RightButtonUp")

Some other buttons presses you can check for RegisterForClicks

Now for the LUA parts.
The SetAttribute function is what you will use to to get your button to "work". Secure Frames Overview
This is just an example of how you CAN set it up when your addon loads (put in the function called when OnLoad happens)

function YOURADDON_OnLoad()
     NAMEOFYOURBUTTONFRAME:SetAttribute("unit", "player")
     NAMEOFYOURBUTTONFRAME:SetAttribute("type", "item")
     NAMEOFYOURBUTTONFRAME:SetAttribute("item", "Netherweave Bandage")
     NAMEOFYOURBUTTONFRAME:SetAttribute("shift-item", "Runecloth Bandage")
end

You could also try it this way

function YOURADDON_OnLoad()
     NAMEOFYOURBUTTONFRAME:SetAttribute("unit", "player")
     NAMEOFYOURBUTTONFRAME:SetAttribute("type", "macro")
     NAMEOFYOURBUTTONFRAME:SetAttribute("macrotext", "/cast [modifier:shift] Runecloth Bandage; /cast [nomodifier:shift] Netherweave Bandage")
end

You probably dont need all this info but I thought it couldnt hurt to be thorough

Thanks for the info this is exactly what I think I need.
