Tricky finding a subject for this post :huh: but here is what I mean:
Yesterday was the first time since I started multiboxing that I had a need for Water Walking. I play with a mixed team so my single shaman had to cover the whole team. I did this manually and didn't like it at all :S I use SmartBuff for normal buffing - but I don't wanna buff the whole group with Water Walking all the time...
So: How do I make a macro to buff the whole group? Or can I do something like mod:alt in SmartBuff?
I tend to use:
/targetparty
/cast <buff>
Should cycle through everyone, I do it for underwater breathing on one of the warlocks.
brilliant idea.Quote:

I had waterbreathing on SBM key activated on all.
so I had it active all the time . (ok I have 1pala, 3 lock, 1mage in the team, so all locks had buff self first, and only one needed to cast for pala and mage)
on a second thought, this is how I do debuffs. *DUH* :)
Yep - looks like a nice and simple solution. I'm not quite sure how the /targetparty thingy works though. The documentation I have seen says it targets a random party member ... Does that mean that sometimes I have 2 push that button 10, 20, 30 times before all is buffed?
In my experience it just cycles through party1-4 and player

Some additional targeting commands duplicate default key bindings but can be useful in macros. These include /targetenemy, /targetfriend, /targetparty, and /targetraid. Similar to the default Tab and Ctrl-Tab key functions, these commands will cycle through the field of players or monsters encompassed by the command. To cycle in reverse (akin to Shift-Tab), just add a 1 after the command. The /targetparty command can be useful for casting buffs: for example, spamming the macro "/targetparty /cast Power Word: Fortitude" will cycle through a priest's party and cast that buff on each party member.

on a side note, don't move!
/targetparty cycle can get messed up if your characters move at all.
I found it had issues if I was running and trying to cast blessing of wisdom, it seemd to keep casting wisdom on the same character ( smartbuf doesn't have this problem though )
and /targetparty doesn't target yourself :-(
does anyone know if the smartbuf can be made into a macro like the jamba-group invite can? "/jamba-group invite" or "/jamba-group disband" can be put in a macro.
like "/sb cast" would be nice, or somehow bind it to a key ?
I just got done reading a great post that talked about a spamable cleanse macro that could be applied to this:
/castrandom [target=party1] Water Walking,,,,
/castrandom [target=party2] Water Walking,,,
/castrandom [target=party3] Water Walking,,
/castrandom [target=party4] Water Walking,
/castrandom [target=party5] Water Walking
Should work. Might be able to make it a little more accurate by inserting toon names, or using castsequence, but party# would be a good generic solution.
