I'm using it constantly in dungeons in a five man party :) slaves setting their own target

In zul I set my own targets even if I'm not the leader, either for focus and warning/kill patrols symbols.

Ya not sure whats going on then, the option is there when i right click a mob, but when i go to set the icon it doesn't show. When I try my macros, it sets the focus properly but no symbols as well.

For crowd controlling

For focusing:

Main mage (Shift+F1) (this is binded only to main window)
#showtooltip polymorph
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/script SetRaidTarget("focus", 1)

Slave mage 1 (Shift+F2) (this is binded only to slave 1 window)
/assist Beeq
#showtooltip polymorph
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/script SetRaidTarget("focus", 2)

Slave mage 2 (Shift+F3) (this is binded only to slave 2 window)
/assist Beeq
#showtooltip polymorph
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/script SetRaidTarget("focus", 3)

Slave mage 3 (Shift+F4) (this is binded only to slave 3 window)
/assist Beeq
#showtooltip polymorph
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/script SetRaidTarget("focus", 4)

Slave mage 4 (Shift+F5) (this is binded only to slave 4 window)
/assist Beeq
#showtooltip polymorph
/clearfocus [target=focus,dead]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/script SetRaidTarget("focus", 5)

For sheeping:

Sheep (L) (this is FTL DPS key, binded to all windows)
/cast [target=focus]Polymorph
/stopmacro [nogroup]

For clearing focus frames:

Clearfocus (O) (this is FTL DPS key, binded to all windows)
/clearfocus

How it works?
Main mage selects any mob.
key push: Shift+F1 (The mob is now focused by main mage, and the mob have mark Star above)

Main mage selects any other mob.
key push: Shift+F2 (Slave mage 1 assists Main mage. The mob is now focused by Slave mage 1, and the mob have mark Circle above)

and so on..

when you have 5 marks on mobs, you can simply press your sheep macro (I have it on 'L'-key) and all focused mobs will turn into fluffy sheeps. Now when you nuke any target, the focused mobs will stay in focus, and pressing sheep-key will resheep them.

So yesterday I was using this macro set on my mages and I had to change SetRaidTarget to SetRaidTargetIcon. I seriously spent two hours trying to figure out why none of my guys could set raid targets with a macro. Oh and go try this: use just the making part of macro two different ways. type it out in your chat window and also put it in a macro in game. notice how one works and the other doesn't?? Last night I was copy pasting and only the chat option worked. Using a WoW macro wouldn't work. I'm typing on a phone do its hard to explain without going into detail. SetRaidTargetIcon("target", 1); works when typed out in chat, but not in a button macro.... WTF

maybe the quote become special characters or something when you paste, and the chat automatically adjusts and not the macro editor.


Hotnutz, i would try disabling your addons for a test
