Macros
Macros are meant for the more advanced users, since you’d need to use “*unit” (short for the UnitID of the enemy) for a macro to work. To cast Polymorph on the enemy and print out the name of the enemy in the party chat you would have to do:[list][*]/cast [target=*unit] Polymorph[/list

  • /script SendChatMessage(UnitName(“*unit”), “PARTY”)


FAQ
Will you ever have Gladius function in a non-arena environment?

  • No, Gladius is meant for arenas only and it’ll stay that way.


Can I hide that annoying header (“Gladius – drag to move”)?

  • Yes, simply lock the Gladius frame.
