A Trinket macro

[WaldoJeffers]

Can you make a macro to cast a trinket with a spell? If the trinket is on cooldown then just skip that line and cast the spell ( CoA in this case)

ie.
/cast [trinket] (if its off cooldown)
/cast Curse of Agony

That way i can ensure that trinket will never get any downtime if its being used with a frequently used spell.

Thanks for anything

It would be /use Trinket Name since it's an item and not a spell. Try this:

/use Trinket of Doom
/stopcasting
/cast Curse of Agony

I'm not sure if it will continue to the spell if the trinket's on cooldown or if it will fail.

I'm pretty sure you can /cast trinkets as I use /castsequence 13, 14.

and it will skip past it if its on cooldown.

The castsequence command will not skip spells or items in a cooldown state, you will just get an error message until it can cast the spell or use the item.

Macro's cannot check for cooldowns. However, LUA can with the GetActionCooldown(slot) function. But you cannot do any casting based on the results because of Blizzards protected functions.

My suggestion would be to write a castsequence macro with enough CoA's to "fill up" the cooldown time for your trinket (i.e. /castsequence Trinket_Name, Curse of Agony, Curse of Agony, Curse of Agony, Curse of Agony, Curse of Agony).

Thanks
Before I got replies I tried doing it myself ( which i should of done , but i had my doubts)

I made this

/cast vengeance of the illidari
/cast Curse of Agony

It works fine, skips the trinket line and casts CoA if trinket is on CD Except so far, its a CoA button with A vengeance of the illdari cooldown ticking on it.
And also it has no tooltip at all (i want tooltip for CoA not vengeance of the illdari)

#showtooltip Curse of Agony
/cast vengeance of the illidari
/cast Curse of Agony

Ok, thats just odd then. I tried making this macro:

/cast Ankh of Life
/cast Flash of Light

But if the trinket is on CD, i get an error, Item is not ready yet, and it does NOT continue to cast the spell. Any idea why?

[WaldoJeffers]

Well im not sure about that, But when my trinket is on CD I get the error message but it will also cast the next line Spell ( CoA in this case)
