Raid and Party All-in-One Follow Macro?

[Mercurio]

I'm trying to do something I think is pretty simple but am running into some problems, so I figured I'd ask for your help.

I want a /follow and /assist macro that can be used whether I'm in a raid or in a party. If in a raid, follow and assist the raid leader. If not, follow and assist the party leader. Here's what I've got:

--------------------------------------
/follow raid1
/assist raid1
/stopmacro [raid1,exists]
/follow party1
/assist party1
--------------------------------------

And it doesn't work. The "/stopmacro [raid1,exists]" is ignored, even if the character is in a raid. So members of my raids that are not in the raid leader's party follow someone in their party rather than the raid leader.

Basically, I need something to use in /stopmacro that returns as true when in a raid and false otherwise. I thought [raid1,exists] would work, but no dice. BTW, nothing along this theme works either: [raid1,help], [raid1,dead], [raid1,nodead]

Any ideas?

Can't you just put the party references first, and the raid ones later? - I'm guessing that /follow raid1 will do nothing if not in a raid, so putting that after /follow party1 would presumably work in both party and raid

Or, to put it more succinctly:

/follow party1
/assist party1
/target raid1
/follow raid1

(untested, just an educated guess).

also untested, but if you are working with /stopmacro, i would think it should be:

/stopmacro [target=raid1,exists]

as raid1 itself is not a condition.

[ThisIsDrakul]

There is a conditional "group:party/raid— You are in the given type of group "



So I think you can do /stopmacro [group:raid]

or...I thought I had this working, although I am not certain

/follow [group:raid, target=raid1] [target=party1]

Thanks for the responses, guys!

davdontmind, I think yours would work, but there would be some "stuttering" every time I hit the follow macro as the toons would start to assist and follow their party leader before assisting and following the raid leader.

olipcs, I think that's what I was missing out on. It looks like this solves my problem!

ThisIsDrakul, wow, I had no idea that [group:raid] was a condition - that may be very helpful in the future! Thanks!

Again, thanks for the responses. I knew it was just something simple I was missing. This is a great community :)
