Macro question

[Kharzak]

so i can't figure out why my macro on my dk isn't working

/cast horn of winter
/cast icy touch

if i run that it only does the first one listed depending on the order i put them.  i thought that the need for some sort of stopcasting line was removed a while ago.  i must be doing something very simple and stupid

Yeah, you can only macro two abilities together that don't incur the global cooldown. HoW is like Battle Shout for warriors--a buff but uses a GCD. You'll never get past that first line with that macro.

so if i reverse them and then press the button twice they will both be used?   hmm, annoying.  i have another macro question:

i was looking at the useful macros for DK's on wowwiki and at the bottom of the page they have a few misc. "fun" macros that play sounds like


#showtooltip
/cast Death Gate
/stopmacro [noexists] [help]
/script local c="Death Gate";if GetSpellCooldown(c)==0 then PlaySoundFile("Sound\\Creature\\NexusPrinceShafar\\Auch_NexPrince_Death01.wav")  end;


but it doesn't seem to work when i run it.  i assume that this is older information and that what they have here doesn't work anymore?

No idea about the last macro you posted, I'm not good at calling game files in /script. The first macro just won't work ever because they're two spells. You can link spells that don't incur the GCD when you use them in a macro, like Nature's Swiftness or Elemental Mastery, but if they incur a GCD then no matter what you're going to have to just push two buttons unless you use modifiers in the macro (i.e., "modifier=[shift]" or whatever the syntax is).

Castsequence might work, it would alternate the two spells.

From the sound of it it appears that all Kharzak wants to do is cast Horn of Winter whenever the cooldown is up by tying it to a spam key, Icy Touch in this case. Its easy enough to do with a situational modifier but its really not something I'd suggest tying to Icy Touch considering thats our default ranged pull/opener and we're already hard up for global cooldowns if your not in Unholy Stance. If anything I'd suggest downloading an Addon I use called Smartbuff, its the addon that got me through the old days of retardedly short Pally buffs.

Still if you must tie it to Icy Touch theirs a couple ways that I 'think' would work, but I can't verify right now since I'm at work.

Option A: It'll cast Horn of Winter when its available, Icy Touch when its not.

/cast !Horn of Winter
/cast Icy Touch

Option B: It'll cast Horn of Winter if your targeting yourself or an ally, Icy Touch if targetting an enemy.
