Arguments
The sole argument has two forms:
- slot
- number - The macro slot to query.
- macroName
- string - The name of the macro to query.
Returns
- id
- number - The ability's spellId.
Details
- Action-bar addons use this function to display dynamic macro icons, tooltips and glow effects. As a macro's cast sequence changes, this function indicates which will be cast next.
Example
local macroName = "MyMacro"
local index = GetMacroIndexByName(macroName)
if index then
local spellId = GetMacroSpell(index)
if spellId then
print(macroName .. " will now cast " .. GetSpellLink(spellId))
end
end
