Been trying to make a Mez macro to turn off autoattack when mezzing but the only way I have found is to use the togglerangedattack command. Obviously that's only good if 1. I'm already in combat and 2. Not using melee. What happened to auto 0 and is there another way to do what it used to?
This is the macro template I've used for years for my mezz and charms: setautoattackmode 3 --> auto attack mode to none auto 0 --> auto attack off, so no auto attack is done while I cast the mezz/charm useability 4163129480 --> ex. cast Mesmerize IX, casting an ability enable auto attack on auto 0 --> auto attack off again in case there is a resist and to not break the mezz And I've two different macros to activate ranged/melee auto attack mode: setautoattackmode 2 -> auto attack mode to ranged (replace with 1 for melee) auto 0 I use those macro when I've finished doing mezz/charm or when I'm ready to activate the auto attack again, as there are other fight were disabling auto attack help Note that I use the "auto 0" in those macro too, because I also use it after any fight were my auto attack is stuck active (that happen a lot), the auto attack will activate itself on the next offensive ability
Thanks Moss, I had a similar macro, but it doesn't work anymore. It seems to me that auto 0 no longer behaves as a switch. Could you please confirm your auto 0 commands are doing what you expect? You include a setauto which I tried too, but once autoattack is active that doesn't turn it off either.
setautoattackmode, does not switch on or off the auto attack it only change it from auto/melee/ranged/off, you could check under to character window > options > auto attack mode setting to off only prevent the auto attack to not activate itself while casting an hostile ability, it does not turn it off it is not a toggle to set it to on or off, so it is way more reliable than toggleautoattack autoattack 0 (or auto 0) is turning off the auto attack, but if you cast any hostile ability it will turn the auto attack on again except if setautoattackmode is set to off that is why you need both macro to stop the auto attack and prevent it to turn on again when casting the mezz/charm
