Call macro from another macro - is it possible?

Publication par LoqueNahak

Is there a way to call macro1 from macro2, without placing macro2 on the action bars?

Say macro1 is like this:

/whisper Bob hello

and macro2 is:

/executemacro macro1

So if I click macro2 it calls macro1 and whispers "hello" to Bob.

You have to simulate clicks on a button that has the second macro assigned to it.

/click ButtonName

I think this is in one of the recent sticky type messages ... Wildhorn's? He even listed some of the common button frame names.

Yeah, read my guide or die trying!

That's why I asked, I know you can do the button way but I hoped for a direct macro call inside the macro code, thanks anyway.

Hmm, -1 reading comprehension for pelf.

What's the root cause for why you're asking? There might be another solution.

Problem is, the ability to chain macros from within macros without using /click, isn't supported. There's no /usemacrobyname(macroName) function, at least I don't see one in the API.

You could, however, write a mini-addon that contains all the macros you want to use and implements them as slash commands, but NOT if they cast any spells, since spell casting is protected. For spell casting, you're pretty much stuck with /click. Your example would work, but not if Macro2 was, for example
/cast fireball
