following main, via focus, when whole party is dead

Hi guys,

Multiboxing has inspired me to renew my WoW subscription after not having played for some months. This site has been very helpful!

My problem: when all my characters are dead, and I want to run them back to the corpses, I can't get them to follow properly.

My macro to set focus:
/focus [target=cherzrd,nodead][target=cherzrb,nodead][target=cherzrc,nodead][target=cherzre,nodead][target=cherzrc,nodead][target=cherzrd,exists][target=player]
/target focus

So normally speaking cherzrd is my leader.

My macro to follow
/follow focus

This works perfectly, except when all my characters are dead at the spirit healer. The follow macro then gives me the message "unknown unit."

If I do a manual /follow cherzrd, it works fine, but I'd prefer not to have another macro and hotkey in use for this scenario. Is there a way to follow cherzrd if "/follow focus" fails due to all focuses being dead? In one macro?

I hope that made some sense... and thank you!

/focus [target=cherzrd,nodead][target=cherzrb,nodead][target=cherzrc,nodead][target=cherzre,nodead][target=cherzrc,nodead][target=cherzrd,exists][target=cherzrd]
/target focus

Try that, I think that should work

Thanks. I tried deleting the thread before someone responded but failed at that too. I should have gone to bed :)

I got it to work, but only after I restarted all my WoWs. Maybe my assist macro, which I'm wresting with as well, messed it up. Thanks a lot!
