How Do I Create A WoW Mount Macro?
Posted on March 20, 2007 by ApadweI love my mount especially now since I have my flying one. One thing I am looking for is how to create a WoW mount macro that not only will mount me up if i'm outside but one that will also mount me up with my flying mount if i'm in the Outlands and my regular mount if i'm not. Is this possible?
Yes, this is possible. I absolutely love macros for reasons like this. It can save a whole lot of different mouse clicks! I'll start off by listing how to do a simple mount macro and we will then show how to do the flying mount macro.
Here is a basic mount macro:
/use [nomounted,outdoors] Whistle of the Black War Raptor
What this does is if you are not mounted and you are outdoors then the macro will try to mount you on your Black War Raptor. Of course if you don't have the raptor put in your mount there.
Pretty simple, eh? Oh and if you want to be dismounted guess what the macro command is…
/dismount
It's really not rocket science here. Anyway, now on to the more difficult macro like you want.
/script UIErrorsFrame:UnregisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE");
/use [outdoors,nomounted,nomodifier:ctrl] Snowy Gryphon
/use [outdoors,nomounted] Black War Ram
/dismount [mounted]
/script UIErrorsFrame:RegisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE");
This one is a bit more confusing to follow. First thing I want to point out is the "/script" lines. Usually when you use a macro to choose either your normal mount or your flying mount it will give an error message. Those lines basically shut off the error message windows so you won't have to click "OK" every time you mount up.
So, this is the WoW macro you are looking for just substitute your mount names in for those and you will be good to go. Also note that if you hold down CTRL it will always select your normal mount.
Try it out and let me know how it goes. Just don't become spoiled by using it!

This can be simplified to:
/use [outdoors,nomounted,nomodifier:alt] Snowy Gryphon; [outdoors,nomounted] Reins of the Swift Mistsaber
/dismount

So… how about a macro for the paladin's charger or the warlock's summoned epic mounts?
Does /use work with those, or would it be a /cast macro?
Or… is it even possible?
Apadwe @ 3:47 pm:
For Paladins and Warlocks, the code will be the same but instead of using
/use
you would use
/cast
and in place of
/userandom
it would be
/castrandom

Thank you! @ 9:37 pm:
/castrandom [outdoors,nomounted,flyable] Swift Green Windrider; [outdoors,nomounted] Swift Brewfest Ram, Horn of the Frostwolf Howler, Reins of the Cobalt Riding Talbuk
/dismount [mounted]
awesome mounting macro
(fyi: userandom and castrandom are almost always interchangeable…almost)

Here's a nifty, if slighly unrelated one for equipping/un-equipping your riding crop. In lots of raids i've been in they've had to have a "riding crop check," and this is pretty handy as it switches the trinkets even if you get knocked off your mount..
/use [outdoors,nomounted,flyable] Snowy Gryphon; [outdoors,nomounted] Swift Brown Steed
/script [outdoors,nomounted,nomodifier:ctrl] Riding Crop
/dismount [mounted]
/script [mounted] Scarab ofthe Infinite Cycle

This is what my pally use… and it works fine.
/cast [nomounted]crusader aura
/cast [modifier:alt][button:2] Snowy Gryphon; [nomounted,] Snowy Gryphon; Swift Blue Gryphon
/{mounted] dismount
/cast [nomounted] Devotion Aura

That's probably the best way to do it right there.

Here's a improvement to Breytac's
/cast[nomounted]crusader aura
/use [nomounted,flyable]Blue Windrider
/cast [nomounted]Summon Charger
/[mounted] dismount
/cast [nomounted]devotion aura

i have a macro request but am not sure if it is possible or not. i want a macro to summon a flying mount or normal mount as above but if i am in combat i would like it to cast my ghost wolf spell instead? can this be done? if so what would be the command for it?

I think it would be
/use [outdoors,nomounted,flyable,nocombat] Snowy Gryphon; [outdoors,nomounted,nocombat] Reins of the Swift Stormsaber
/cast [outdoors,nomounted,combat] Ghost Wolf
/dismount [mounted]
I don't have a shaman to test it out, but that's just what I think it would look like. Lemme know if it works.
