I've been trying for a while now on how to get the bot to feed my hunters pet. I've tried the following spell and keep getting an error. 

if GetPetHappiness() < 3 then
  CastSpellByName("Feed Pet")
  UseItemByName("FoodName")
end  

 

It's because

UseItemByName

function wasn't added till TBC. :)

RunMacroText

Was also first added in TBC ;)

Ok. Well I've also made a macro in the game: feedpet

/run local c=CastSpellByName;if GetPetHappiness()~=nil and GetPetHappiness()~=3 then c("Feed Pet");PickupContainerItem(0,1) end
 

Clicking this macro works and feeds the pet.

When I use 

RunMacroText("/cast feedpet");

 

This also doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong or does this method also not work in Vanilla? 

Your in-game macro is not using UseItemByName, it's taking what you have in container slot 0,1. This means it will only try to feed your pet with whatever is in that slot.

You can do the same with your bot with the following Code:

if GetPetHappiness() < 3 then
  CastSpellByName("Feed Pet")
  PickupContainerItem(0,1)
end  

This will make the bot feed the pet with whatever you have in slot 0,1 in your bags (like your macro) if the pet is not happy. :)

Edit: For the first code snippet to work, you could make a foreach loop and check every slot in your bag for itemname. :)

Thank you Ordush. This works.

Where you put this at? As a spell with a lua code or what? 

Is there a tutorial about this?
