Button Forge

9 - Can't Make a Pet Bar?

What is the issue?

Please provide any additional information below.

Sorry if this is already posted somewhere, but I just couldn't find it.  

I'm trying to figure out how to make a pet bar.  The one Blizzard provides doesn't work well for me, but when I try to move pet icons into a ButtonForge bar, they just disappear.  Is there a trick to making pet bars, or does that just not work?

Thanks a bunch!  I LOVE this add-on! :o)

    I'm having the same problem.  Before using Button Forge, I had all of my pet abilities typed up in macros.  For example:

    #showtooltip
    /use [pet:Bear/Worm]Thunderstomp;[pet:Carrion Bird/Core Hound/Spirit Beast]Rabid;Lifeblood
    

    I was hoping to make Button Forge bars with show/hide conditions relating to the pet class, then adding abilities directly from the Spellbook to those bars.  The advantage of using Button Forge is that I would finally be able to use the auto-cast feature of Blizzard's buttons, while still changing the available buttons by pet class and displaying all of the abilities I want (without being limited to only four).

    However, as Alkhemist said, the pet ability buttons do not work on Button Forge.  I was hoping that since items work (for example, we can put [Obsidian Warbeads] on Button Forge bars but not on Blizzard bars), other non-standard buttons like pet abilities would work, too.

    Any chance of adding that functionality?

    Thanks!  This is a magnificent addon already! Marishana
