Basically im dead stuck.. "used a day on this". "Temporarly alzheimer or something got the better of me today" (lol)
ok, here goes:
1: All toons have me targeted.
2: When i have a enemy targeted i want all to fire lightning bolt.
3: Then if i target a friendly toon or a friendly mob and press the same button combined with holding down left shift button = only then i want all to start casting Lesser healing wave on that target.
Is it possible?
Any insight would be most welcome, as a single dps/healbutton of this kind would be very nice.

Not sure exactly what you want, but this is my interpretation (please tell me if correct):
single button
unmodified it will cast a damage spell if the target it harmful, do nothing if it is helpful
modified it will cast a heal if target is helpful, do nothing if harmful
Is that what you want?

You could have a single button that casts one spell if your target is harmful and casts a different spell if your target is helpful so you wouldn't even need a modifier, but I'm not sure that's what you're after.

/cast [noharm, mod:shift]Smite;[harm, nomod:shift]Flash Heal
or something similar to that (sorry if it's wrong, I'm at work)

I tried some varients but didnt work. ty though.
Here is what my normal lightning bolt macro looks like, which works like a charm when i got a hostile targeted, then all fire at the target:
/cast [target=targettarget, harm] [] Lightning Bolt
Only wished i could "advance" it so i can hold down shift, target friendly + press same button so everyone start healing that spesifik target. Im starting to really lack keys so thats why i would like to make another 2 in 1 button.

/cast [@target, noharm, mod:shift] flash heal
/cast [@target, harm][@targettarget, harm] smite
The second line could contain [@targettarget, harm, nomod] in it but it will never pass the first line as long as you have shift held down. I've not tried combining @target and @targettarget in the same macroblock so I'm not positive the smite line will work.

This should work, though is it possible to make one a bit like what Owltoid tried work too.
Something like:
/cast [@target,harm][@targettarget,harm] Lightning Bolt ; [@targettarget,help][@target,help] Lesser Healing Wave
Or something like that.
The only problem I can see is that the master may cast the heal on the targets target instead of the target, since you have to put the targettarget version first so the slaves don't just cast it on the master since they are targeting the master for their targeting instead of using focus, which would fix this issue.
Unless of course, you never change master, in which case you'd just make the slaves have a different version of the macro than the master.
But if your master isn't a shaman and will not have the macro themselves and the slaves will always be targeting the master, then all you need for the slaves is something like:
/cast [@targettarget,harm] Lightning Bolt ; [@targettarget,help] Lesser Healing Wave

Hello there again.
After some trial and error im now using the
/cast [@targettarget,harm] Lightning Bolt ; [@targettarget,help] Lesser Healing Wave
(on the "alts" only)
When i target a toon and hit this key they start healing, well one mauye heal the correct target, usually the others heal themself. I discovered that is i target a toon and spamhit it they will indeed all heal that spesific target (which i wanted).
Dunnu if its possible to have all heal that spesific target with one keypress (would be less stressfull) but atleast im helped for now. I find this macro handy for the xp grinding, when one toon loose a bit of hp a click or so on him is enough to heal him.
Though if someone has other thoughts on this please feel free to post your suggestion.
:D

When you change your target it'll take a second or so for your alts to know you changed it.
Easiest way to easily be able to heal each toon in your team is to set up separate buttons that heal targets by name, with one button for each one you want to heal, though this is more useful for having a dedicated healer.
