  1. showtooltip Flash of Light /cast [target=mouseover,exists,help] Flash of Light; [target=target,help] Flash of Light; [target=player] Flash of Light;

  This would be an example of my Macro.

  And yet again I oversee. When will I learn?

  Good thinking Nevcairiel!

  It would be possible to code this, if i am to do this is another point entirely, however.

  I figure there is basically two ways:
  - Convert all spell buttons to macro buttons on the fly, and just use a macro with replacement markers in them where the spell should be placed.

  - Basically do what the auto-assist does, and use macro-syntax to determine the spell thats supposed to be used.

  Baynn, can you post the macro you're using?
  Something like this, i figure:

  [@mouseover,exists,help][@mouseovertarget,exists,help][@player]Cleanse

  I've been thinking about how to implement mouseover casting, and instead of forcing those macro combinations, could as well make them dynamically configurable.
  You would basically rewrite this to look like this:

  [@mouseover,exists,help]mouseover;[@mouseovertarget,exists,help]mouseovertarget;player

  And let Bartender apply that to your buttons. It would dynamically change around the target of the spells. Just like auto-assisting works right now, just with added mouseover

  I would probably go with some advanced dialog to select which bar to apply the macro to, or even do it by-spell.

  The direction in which you're thinking is an interesting one, Baynn, but I'm afraid the answer is that it can definitely not be solved by an addon. Addons are explicitly forbidden to determine which spell to cast, to prevent one-button-spam-max-DPS setups. I'm afraid your only option is typing, though an addon to help in quickly typing and copy/pasting the macros might be a nice idea for you.

  I play Retribution Paladin PVP, and Port Paladin for PvE. I have a Mouse over Macro created which, if my target is friendly, will cast on them, if not friendly, will cast on their target, if no target exists, will cast on myself. (Mostly for Word of Glory, Flash of Light, Divine Light as Prot, but also has numerous other applications for Retri PvP.) Ideally, I would write said Macro in a field in the bar options, and replace the spell of the macro with something the Mod would recognize as a substitute for the spell being used.

  If I pressed button 1, which is Cleanse, the bar would run the macro I created using cleanse in place of button 1. If I press button 2, which is word of glory, it would run the same macro, this time using word of glory instead.

  What kind of macro function did you think of?
  Target switching?

  I do plan to support mouseover casting soon, without the need to write individual macros.
  Supporting arbitrary macros would be kinda hard, so possibly not happening.
