Hi guys,

So I also lost all my Macaroon stuff with the patch, and decided to switch to Bartender4 as it seems supported still.
I can't seem to get the custom condition to work however.
I've tried [target=focustarget,exists] and [target=focus,exists] with auto-assist both on and off.

I don't know if there is anything I am missing, but my clones have my party lead/main as focus but always spam the message that they have no target.

Thanks

for most macros you should use something along the lines of:

; dps spells
/cast [target=focustarget,harm][] flame shock

; heal spells
/cast [target=focustarget,help][target=focus,help][] lesser healing wave

Remember macros evaluate until a condition is true, then stop evaluating the rest of the []s. So the second one turns into, in plain english:

If the target of my focus is friendly, cast LHW on them (stop).
Else if my focus is friendly, cast LHW on them (stop).
Else cast Lesser Healing wave on my target (if self-cast is turned on and nobody is targeted, cast it on myself).

You can make very complex expressions, Just remember every [] evaluates by itself, if all the conditions meet then it executes and the rest of the brackets aren't evaluated. Thats why its always useful to have a [] at the end, so if you are soloing it casts against whatever you have targeted right now.

Ok, maybe I've missed the plot completely.
With Macroon previously, you'd have your FTbar and your NFbar (Focus Target, and Non-Focus) The customc ondition on the ENTIRE bar then, would mean when a clone cast whatever was on button 1, 2,3 etc would be cast on your Focus' target. This allowed for pure drag and drop of spells from the book on to the bars without custom macros per 5 toons.

I saw in the thread about Macaroon being updated seldom and alot of guys switching to Bartender4, but without much info around their setup. I searched this forums extensively but haven't managed to figure out the same method as yet for Bar4

Thanks
