In general all 5 druids are just dps for leveling, but I also want to use one guy as tank and one as healer sometimes. I am using the FTL setup from the wiki. I copy the macaroon configs from toonA every time I start wow, so every keybind and macro is the same on all toons. How can I have only one guy (ToonE) heal the tank (ToonA) with this setup doing something like this:

/stopmacro [nomod][mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt]
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift]
[mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl]
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift]
/cast [target=hardcodedTankNameHere] Regrowth

I took out the [mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift] part so it wouldn't stop on that (that is the ToonE modifier combo). I tried this out and it doesn't seem to work. My normal FTL macros work fine.

After writing this up I realized I could just have a keybind on the stance bar on an unused key for other stances. Since the healer is the only one without a stance, nobody else will have that key used for anything when they are cat and bear.

But still it would be nice to be able to use a macro like that above for other stuff, any ideas?

Thanks,

I forgot to mention, I think this is what I tried first and it didn't seem to work either:

/cast [mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift,target=tankNameHere] Regrowth

Should that work?

Why are yeh not doing something like this

/stopmacro
/cast [target=hardcodedTankNameHere] Regrowth

actually even better if yer off dpsing with yer healer

/stopmacro [harm]
/target hardcodedTankNameHere
/cast Regrowth

Just set one key aside as yer heal key.

The only reason to use the ftl thing is if yeh want to heal who ever yeh switch to
something along the lines of

[nomod target=group1]
[mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt target=group2]
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift target=group3]
[mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrltarget=group 4]
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,mod:shift target=group5]
/cast Regrowth

syntax may be incorrect at work so I cant check :P

I am not sure but I think you need an IF harm of help in your macro. So change your macro from:
/cast [mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift,target=tankNameHere] Regrowth

To:

/cast [mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift,target=tankNameHere , help] Regrowth

And it should work.

to get something clear:

the modifiers in the normal ftl-macros are used for determing which window has the focus, and to assist the window with the focus.

This is why a '/cast [mod:ctrl,nomod:alt,nomod:shift,target=tankNameHere] Regrowth' wouldn't work, because what it would do is the follwoing:
It would cast an Regrowth on your tank, if the Toon which is specified by the modifier-combination 'ctrl' is the Toon you are actively playing (which would be ToonE).

But what you want to achive is something different, and the easist way for it is to simply only bind the healingspell for the specific healer and not for the others.

I would assume your macro's are set up to assist properly when clicked or typed.
But Keyclone (assuming Keyclone since you mention FTL system) only broadcasts keystrokes, unless you turn on mouse broadcasting.
So, clicking your macro or spell via the mouse would not have the other toons click theirs.

That would be the easiest way to have only one cast something.
