Looking for a macro

[Akeldema]

Hello
I was wondering if it was possible to target certain raid symbols,
E.g, I would mark up skull,X,Square and then i would be able to target them with a macro and have my void walkers attack one each,

Cheers

You cannot target raid icons using macros or the wow api. However Jamba has the next best thing, Jamba-Target (it uses mob names).

Jamba-Target lets you mark mobs with raid icons, then you press keys assigned each raid icon and all your slaves target that mob.

Documentation for Jamba-Target is here ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=16751') .

Information on Jamba can be found here ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=12887') .

Ask me (I wrote Jamba) any questions you have if you decide to use it...

shameless plug!!!

But still very accurate. JAFULA for president!

Jamba-Target sounds good, But from the look of it will they only target the closest guy if you marked guys with the same name?
my problem is Im trying to get my voidwalkers to be able to tank raid icons, and often the trash all has the same names

I don't play pet classes, so I don't know how you send pets in, but could you choose a target with your main and then get the warlocks to get the voidwalkers to assist the main?

using /petattack they attack my currently targeted mob,
but what im after if being able t just mark em up and then send them to the symbols, cause /petattack and
/assist
/petattack

Dosnt always work,

On my hunters, I just have each of my alts select a different target and then send them in with a normal /petattack command. I normally use /petattack [target=focus-target]. One thought might be to target a mob on your main, then press a key (4 of them, one for each alt) to have that alt target that mob, that way you can pretty much mark mobs without leaving your main's keyboard/mouse. IE (select mob 1 on your main, press CTRL-ALT-A now alt 1 has mob 1 selected, select mob 2 on your main, press CTRL-ALT-B now alt 2 has mob 2 selected, etc.)

whats "[target=focus-target]" that bit do?

[ElectronDF]

I have my alts /focus my main and then use focus in their targeting so I don't have to /target ever, ever on my alts. My attacks are
/cast [target=focus-target] DPSspell
and heals are
/cast [target=focus-target-target] Healspell
So my main selects a mob and then I push the key that is bound to my attack macro, and bam, all the alts attack what my main is attacking. And I press the heal spell, and without knowing who has aggro, no targeting people, no changing targets from the mobs, no worries, just healing goes to whoever has aggro.

Now, on my hunters, I have a few attacks, but some are just shoot, send pets and shoot, full rotation, send pets and full rotation, just send pets and just pull pets back. Some things might change based on the "new" defensive mode of pets, but you get the idea. For my times in instances, I split up the damage my pets take by putting a mob on each pet. I select a mob for each hunter and then push (send pet and then attack). For that I just use a simple /petattack, which the pet attacks whatever the char has targeted.

The part where the alts assist the main looks like:
#showtooltip
/stopmacro [target=focus-target, nodead, noexists]
/petattack [target=focus-target]
/cast [target=focus-target, combat] !Auto Shot

You don't need the first part. It says, don't do anything if the main has a dead mob targeted or if he has no mob targeted. The second part sends the pet at whatever mob(target) the main(focus) has targeted. The third part is to attack the mob(target) that the main(focus) is attacking, but don't do anything until the alt is in combat. Which doesn't happen until the pet gets to the mob. That way, the pet has a chance to get aggro first.

Hope that makes sense and helps.

My main problem is i need to be able to independently target 3 mobs and have the vw tank one each, cause at the moment i have all 3 going to one, and the others skirt around them and whack the healer

[Akeldema]

Well i sorta have a macro working, All it is is basically

/Assist party1
/petattack

and i just have it on round Robbin and quickly flip through the targets and use the round Robbin feature to send the voidwalkers off to their own targets
