Macro help for a newb

[jallor]

I am wanting to start multi boxing, but dont want to invest in buying new accounts and subscriptions till i can get all my macros set up and running right. So all help and answers or links to help learn how to make macros are welcome. I am trying to set up 4 box shamans.

I seen a vidio of macros and how to set up a heal one but i cant get it to work. The vidio was to blury to make out the brackets and puncuation.

/cast [target=focutarget.help.nomod][target=focus.nomod] Lesser Healing Wave

/cast [target=player.mod;alt] Lesser Healing Wave

/cast [target=focustarget.help.mod.shift][target=charactername.mod.shift] Chain Heal

If some one can fix that macro for me it would be much appreciated. I am running my boxing practice guys with the basic of all them have a macro to assist then heal or nuke. Can someone show me how to set up a macro that will auto assist then cast or give a link on where it explains how to make them thanks.

Remember that i have never set up macros before other than the simple /follow type of stuff. So try to explain it like your talking to some one that is a clueless newb thanks again.

/cast [target=focustarget.help.mod.shift][target=charactername.mod.shift] Chain Heal
should be

/cast [target=focutarget, help, nomod][target=focus.nomod] Lesser Healing Wave


/cast [target=player.mod;alt] Lesser Healing Wave
should be

/cast [target=player, mod:alt] Lesser Healing Wave


/cast [target=focustarget.help.mod.shift][target=charactername.mod.shift] Chain Heal
should be

/cast [target=focustarget, help ,mod:shift] Chain Heal; [target=charactername, help, mod:ctrl] Chain Heal

you cant use the same mod in 2 different casts..

And the
/cast [target=focustarget, help ,mod:shift] Chain Heal; [target=charactername, help, mod:ctrl] Chain Heal
Would make the macro, only able to cast anything when you push shift and ctrl.. Otherwise it wont do anything.. If you want it to cast the focus' target when your NOT pushing any modifier, you should make it like this:

/cast [target=charactername, help ,mod:ctrl] Chain Heal; [target=focustarget, help] Chain Heal
Now it will cast on the "charactername" when you press CTRL, if you dont press anything it will cast it on your focus' target. :)

I think I got it all right.. If I made some mistakes in the macros, i'm sorry.. Someone will most likely correct me then :)
