targeting ...

Hi,

Currently I have a button assigned to a macro /assist party1

afterwards I use the "spam" button to cast the spells on my main.

This is still a 2 button setup and I need to keep track of when a assigned mob dies.
I can not change individual alts back to attack to attack party1 target.

(I run a group of DK, Mage, lock, hunter,priest, with different damage and if I assign a single mob per alt they die not at the same time. I will loose the dps of that toon until I reassign a new target.

I was thinking if I overcome this with one button macro.

on my pets it worked super with the following macro:

/petattack [target=focus,nodead] [target=party1target,exists,nodead]

to send the pet to the preassigned focus and if that does not exist it attacks the one targeted by my main.
It works perfectly and I see what my partypets are attacking (pitbull addon)

I was thinking to do something similar with my alts and castsequence but without the focus.

If my alts have a target (pre-assigned) I would like to keep on attacking that. if that dies I would like them to attack my mains target.

If they change target I also want to see that in my party targets on my main (especially helpfull, since that showas also the raidicon of the target)

so I tried:
/target [target=exists,nodead] [target=party1target,exists,nodead]
/castsequence ...

which didn't work at all. It was always changing target to party1target and was ignoring it's own target
(I don't want to use focus here as well, since that is the same focus at the pets use for their attack, or the Mage for sheep :(

any suggestions ?

This is just a theory, so apologies if it doesn't work, but you could try the following:

/castsequence blah blah blah
/stopmacro [harm, nodead]
/assist Party1

Of course this relies on /stopmacro allowing you to use those conditionals with it and the castsequence not bugging out because of it.

No idea if this would cause a problem with your healing set-up either.

I think [target=exists,nodead] should be [exists,nodead] for whatever your using it for I'm not sure but target=exists will attempt to target an entity named exists.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

target=exists does not exist.

oki I removed, target=exists, without any luck so far :(

with castsequence you'll have to use /assist.
if you dont use castsequence, then you can use the [target=focustarget] option.

try this instead of assist anything

/castsequence [exists,nodead,nohelp] spell1,spell2,spell3; [target=party1target,nohelp,exists,nodead] spell1,spell2,spell3
