Bot using quoted-out skills

Bot randomly tries to cast Earth Pulse even though it's quoted out of my skills, and not located anywhere else in my profile. It's happened twice, once after running for 19 minutes, and last night, after almost 500 minutes. It doesn't show it being called in MM, but throws an "undefined skill" error for Earth Pulse and stops. I have put it back in skills with autouse="false"... should that do it, or might I want to try something else, and what could cause this?

Code: Select all

<!--skill name="DRUID_EARTH_PULSE"					modifier="" hotkey="MACRO" priority="10"  maxuse="1" /-->
It also seems to automatically cast Defensive Formation, (also quoted out), whenever it casts Mother Earth's Protection. Defensive Formation is no where in my profile other than skills.

Code: Select all

<skill name="WARRIOR_DEFENSIVE_FORMATION" 		modifier="" hotkey="MACRO" priority="200" hpper="10" autouse="false" />
<skill name="DRUID_MOTHER_EARTH'S_PROTECTION"  	modifier="" hotkey="MACRO" priority="450" hpper="70" />	
What can be causing this?

autouse=false should stop any skills that get added automatically. But if mm doesn't show the skill being used then I think there is something else wrong. Do you have the misfiring skills in your action bar? What are their actionbar hotkeys? Maybe something else you are doing on the computer is accidentally firing off those skills.

Ah yes... gotta love user error. Figures! I changed around my action bar and don't remember if the skills were there, or what slot they were in, if they were. I'll post back if the Earth Pulse problem happens again. Thanks for the help.

Mother Earth's Protection, and Defensive Formation are both the second skill tab, sixth skill for their respective main classes. MEP has the skilltab & skillnum identifiers in skills.lua, but DF does not. So I guess it's trying to cast the spell by the skilltab & skillnum identifiers when it calls for MEP and it ends up with DF since I'm on Warrior primary. Would deleting those identifiers for Mother Earth's Protection be the best way to fix this?

You could just use the actual hotkeys instead of "MACRO". That should resolve any strange issues with skill tabs.
