Healing a Party

[hudel123]

Hi,
I would need some help with a healing macro. My Priest shall check all near party members and when the hitpoints of one are lower than 70% he shall heal the Char with a Lesser Healing Wave. My makro looks like this:

/script for i=1,40 do TargetNearestFriend();
if UnitHealth("target")/UnitHealthMax("target") < 0.7 then
if UnitIsPlayer("target") then CastSpellByName("Lesser Healing Wave") end end end; TargetLastEnemy();

I can't get it to work. Can anybody give me a tip?

best regards

Macros like that stopped working over a year ago. You cannot use CastSpellByName so you cannot initiate spellcasting actions inside of /scripts

You cannot make a macro to start healing when below a certain health threshold

I remember when these types of scripts worked. It is hard to imagine they let you do stuff like this back than.

I remember one button healing Molten Core with my druid...Healbot would select who needed to be healed and by how much; then downrank the spell so that I keep my over healing to a minium. Felt like cheating ....Blizz decided it was and removed it

I would also like something like this for convenience, but of course then it is too automated and can be called cheating.

SO, what I use is simply [target=mouseover] macros, which allow me to tank on my main screen and without changing windows, or anything, simply move my mouse over my grid target on my healer window and heal. This of course would be greatly improved with the use of ISboxer and its mouse broadcasting abilities. You could setup your grid on your main and then a similar grid on your healer alt so when you mouseover on your main the alts is also mousing over. this would make it EASY

I tried mousover makros, too. It won't work for me. I just can heal the selectet Targed of my Main. Therefore I thought this will work. Ok, thanks for your answers and tips.

I use healbot, but only because it makes it easier for me to see who is low health.
Now with Jamba as an addon it will tell me if a party member is low health, too.
I use macros; I bound some actionbar keys to numpad1, numpad2, etc up to 6.
So numpad1 is like /cast [target=TanksName] lesser healing wave
numpad2 heals my DPSer, numpad3 heals my second DPS, numpad4 heals my other DPS, and numpad5 is my healer. Numpad6 is for everyone to heal themselves with chain heal.
I have been able to do SO much more ever since I made this macro. If I'm too lazy to figure out who to heal first, I just have everyone standing together chain heal and the system does it for me (jumps to the lowest)
