Talk: MACRO metashowtooltip

Revision as of 23:23, 1 February 2010

The tooltip does not dynamically appear at all in 3.3. Does anyone know when this functionality was removed? D3jag (talk) 01:01, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

Works fine for me. You must have an addon interfering or the macro you have isn't properly written. Posted by: EGingell (T|C|F) on 01:13, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

With no addons active, and a very simple macro, no fucntionality. Is there another macro I can try that is known to work?

The macro:

Name: "Tackle Box"

Script: "/use Jeeves"

The resulting tooltip:

Tackle Box

I don't see "#showtooltip" in that macro. How can you say something doesn't work when it can't work because it's not there?

#showtooltip
/use Jeeves

Usage

The tooltip doesn't dynamically appear by default anyway for macros, it hasn't been that way for years, if I remember. I don't think macros have ever said anything in the tooltip when placed in the action bar besides the name of the macro, hence the reason Bliz put this in. For clarity, I always use the name of the spell after #showtooltip, but it doesn't have to be. --DrDoom (talk) 23:23, February 1, 2010 (UTC)
