I'm at a loss how to script a macro for my melee'ers to 'auto-bandage' with
a single keypress or button-click- I want a quick way to get some bandage
healing in during the few seconds while I have a mob stunned... for instance,
after using Gouge or Kidney Punch on a mob when I am losing the healthbar
battle in a tough fight. Potions are expensive and I have all kinds of bandages,
and I prefer to not have to use potions unless it is an extreme necessity.

Currently, after stunning a mob, I have to activate the bandage skill first,
then
find my char with the cursor and click on myself to begin bandaging... even
being
only moderately clumsy, there is still a critical time-loss invovled in those
two
motions- and I'm lucky if I can get in a second or two of healing before the mob
wakes up and starts beating on me again, nullifying most of the healing from the
bandage.

If I could find a macro that lets me instantly select 'use bandage' and 'bandage
self' in one keypress or toolbar-button-click, I'd be an extremely happy camper.
Anyone know of one, made one, or can figure out how to make one that does
this? I've had no luck on the macro sites or forums for this particular need,
and
I do *not* want to use the half-arsed 'cast on self' options that come with some
other mods... they always require you to hold down *2* keys to accomplish a
self-cast, and I have no spare keys to assign to that sort of nonsense, and I
absolutely hate having to do simultaneous button-presses to accomplish any-
thing. A simple macro that I can then drag onto one of my toolbars to click
on when needed, would be perfect.

TIA,

There's different options depending on what mods you may or may not have
installed. I could give you the one I use, but unless you've got Flexbar,
it won't work. I know there's a way to do it with just the built-in macro
commands, though.

/script UseContainerItem(#,#);
/script TargetUnit("player");

Bags are counted 0-4, right to left. So your starting backpack is bag 0.
Slots within a bag are counted left to right, top to bottom. Upper left is
1, lower right is 16. Put your bandage stack in the place you want it,
then call it by numbers. First line wil activate the bandage, second line
will target yourself. Be warned, this macro won't work if your bandages
move. And it won't work if you have a friendly unit targeted. But it
*will* maintain your original target, as well as combo points for a Rogue.

CT-Mod is your answer. If you don't got a target (or an enemy target), you
can enable the addon to get yourself bandaged, by just clicking the bandage
itself.

Reading comprehension FTW. He specifically said he didn't want mod-based
solutions. And no mods are necessary to do what he asked for.

There used to be a mod which did just that, but I can't find it any more
(and chances are it's been broken by various updates since anyway) - I'd
love to find it again or something that does much the same though, as it
was very useful. Called Bandaid or something like that... not much help I
know, but if anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be grateful!

When you only have 3-4 seconds of stun on the mob, that extra mouse-searching
for your portrait icon, or you onscreen char, is that much less healing you get
from your *very* short bandaging window. I need an instant option, with no
time wasted cursoring anywhere. So, not a help there, sorry.

As Robin said, and yes, you said no mod solution, use CTMod. The self
cast mod in it allows you just to select an item, like a bandaid, and
it is used on yourself.

Excellent. I altered it slightly, as '/target <charname>' worked fine for the
second line of the macro... but it worked like a charm, thanks! You da man :-)
