Is it possible to craft an item by ItemID/SpellID/SkillID via a macro?

[Winsane]

I may have stumbled across a moderate exploit if such a thing is possible. I have learned the spell but it's not showing up in my list of things I can craft. I have tried a macro like this

/run for i=1,GetNumTradeSkills()do local skillName,_,nA,_,_,_=GetTradeSkillInfo(i)if skillName=="ITEM NAME GOES HERE"then DoTradeSkill(i,nA)end end

But it doesn't work, probably because the spell isn't actually in the list.

If a macro like

/script CastSpellByID("SPELL ID GOES HERE");

is possible, then we might have something. But I can't find any way to do such a thing. Anyone have any ideas?

Use CastSpellByID with a lua unlocker? Depending on the spell, you might need some additional patches. What's the spell ID?

Thanks for replying!

Well, using lua unlocker could be a good idea. It's on a vanilla server though and some quick searches gave no results for unlocking lua on 1.12.1, I might just be bad at searching though. The ID is 3964.

1.12.1 does not have any protected LUA functions in the traditional sense. Most functions that you would think would be protected are not protected from using in macros, or even addon code, SO LONG as it is triggered from a hardware event. If you have an addon that attempts to cast some spell automatically and autonomously without a hardware event, nothing will happen. But if you run the same code from a macro, it will work. If you create the code in an addon in the form of a global function (say Spell() ) then /run Spell(), it will run any of the 'protected' functions contained within just fine (But probably only within that frame).

You can literally create a 1 button macro to do EVERYTHING (Well, with what information is exposed with 1.12's LUA API) and it'll run just fine. Thats what decursive addon did back in the day, more or less.

If you want to get past the hardware event limitation for running 'protected' functions, l0l1dk wrote a DLL for me that removes the hardware event check for protected functions, so credit goes to l0l1dk. I wouldn't worry about any sort of warden detection, or any detection really, as I'm the only person, aside from l0l1dk, that have this hack, and even then, it's a pretty small scope hack. I 100% doubt some vanilla server code writer would bother putting in detection code for something as small as this.

So I guess CastSpellByID just isn't a thing in 1.12.1 then? Do you know some other way that could work?

That's an interesting hack btw, I might find use for that.
