Random Mount Macro
Just thought I would throw this short post in, since people have been asking me what I do with my 50+ mounts on Eau. I have two macros: one for walking (epic speed ground mounts) and one for flying (epic speed flying mounts). Here is the macro:
/run if (not IsMounted()) then local t={2,6,19,20,21,23,29,33,34,35,36,38,39,40,41,44} CallCompanion(“MOUNT”, t[random(#t)]) else DismissCompanion(“MOUNT”) end
The one above is for walking, but it’ll work the same way for flying – just make a different macro and use different numbers. In order to make this work for you, you need to change out the numbers I’ve bolded above into the slot numbers of the mounts that you want the game to consider. Example: if when you click shift-P, you see that your first row of mounts is: Albino Drake (epic flying), Armored Brown Bear (epic ground), Azure Netherwing Drake (epic flying), Black Hawkstrider (slow ground), Black Skeletal Horse (slow ground), and Black War Mammoth (epic ground): for the walking macro you would choose 2, 6; for the flying macro you would choose 1, 3.

Hullo Mariana! If anyone copies and pastes this macro, they need to be sure to replace the quotes in it with regular ASCII quotes off the keyboard [ " ]. The text above appears to have been automatically formatted by the blogging software to show unicoded double closing quotes [ ” ], which will throw an error in WoW.

Thank you very much Rodentia! I will edit the post to reflect this information.

a shorter version to this macro is:
/run local t={1,2,3,4} CallCompanion(“MOUNT”, t[random(#t)])
i found that wether you are mounted or not is irrelivent to the macro, if u are mounted, it will change your mount, if you are not mounted, it will still mount u on a random mount. only use this if you do not dismount with the same key as mounting, I.E. i dismount by shapshifting into battle as i am a druid.
this is pretty much just to remove excess character spaces from the macro if you find yourself with too many mounts to fit
