Emote un-macroable?

I tried looking up how to do this in the Wiki pages, and could get it almost to work. I can get the basic bow to work, but I can't get the Fancy Bow to work for anything. I know the basics of macros (simple pet commands), but this doesn't seem to be happening, no matter how long I mess with it. Any ideas?

If I'm understanding this right you want to use that emote for pets? Fancy Bow might not be an emote that pets can do. If the model the pet is based on can't do an emote then it won't do anything.

/Macro Bow "petcom <em fancybow>"

That will set up a macro. When you click the macro, the targeted pet will do the fancybow emote. Note that pet emotes were broken for a while, and though they should be fixed, a few issues maybe have slipped through.

Alternately you can use /macro Bow "petsay_all <em fancybow>" which will make all of your pets do the emote or /macro Bow1 "petsay_name petnamehere <em fancybow>" which will activate the emote for a specific named pet.

You can also chain additional commands such as /macro Bow2 "petsay_name petnamehere <em facybow>$$petsay By your command."

Sorry - I didn't make myself clear: was trying to make the macro for my toon, not my pets. Should this command be a keybind instead?

Either way.

/macro Bow "emote fancybow"
or
/bind numpad5 "emote fancybow"

... should do it.

Ok, I think I understand now. I actually use fancy bow in a macro it looks like this...

/macro bow "emote fancybow$$local thank you"

This creates a macro in the power tray called "bow" that has the character bowing while saying something over the local chat channel. You can then bind that to a key if you like.

MAybe this will help?
