Thread: Beginner question about mounting ..err.. mounts

Hi,


I have been trying to figure this out for some time but with no success - is there a way to mount a mount without targetting it?


Currently I can mount a vehicle with a direct command like "/mount speederbike" and I don't have to target the bike for the command to work. This has huge advantages for me as, for instance I can target a creature, creep up on my bike and execute the following macro "/dismount;/pause 1;/sampledna;/pause 2;/mount speederbike" - in short I can get off and back on my bike without ever losing target. Similarly with masking scent,I have a macro to dismount, maskscent and remount and it doesn't interfere with my current target.


However I have totally failed to find a way to do this with mounts (and I really would prefer to use a mount). Alternatively maybe there is a clever way of doing this using "ui" macro commands that someone might share with me (I was thinking of <get it totarget the mount>; /mount; <target previous target> but I can't figure out how to do this either.


Anyway if anyone can help I would be extremely grateful.

try this - haven't tested it yet but it yet but i think it'll work


/dismount;

/pause 1;

/sampledna;

/pause 2;

/target (PetName); **be sure you use the parenthesis**

/pause 1;

/mount;

/pause 1;

/ui action cycleTargetPrev; **case sensitive**

I have such a macro. It depends on the parenthesis.

Thanks,

I had hoped I was missing something simple.

Cheers,

Actually even better /mount (petname); works a dream. It was all in the parenthisis.

Zardo - a happy wookie.

Thanks.
