OK, I thought about that for awhile and was thinking this would be such a simple function to add to jamba and a question I see a lot in the forums about team healing.

I had an idea of how this could work and was even going to attempt to make the change in jamba but the techniques used in his code are beyond me. So, Im simply going to throw out my view/idea and see if anyone out there with the know how would take up the torch, or shot me down one or the other.

The jamba team frame is already click-able, hence that you can use it to target a character. So it is already interpreting mouse clicks; probably no right/left/middle but it could. If healing was turn on then when a toon was clicked jamba would send a message out on the shared team channel. All team members would see this(a hook would have to be added to watch for heal requests). Jamba already has a mechanism that allows certain team members to participate in certain events, so all non-healers would ignore the message and toons that are configured within jamba to watch for heal request would then trigger.

Here is where I may get some slack feedback. Since you cannot use cast within code this restricts what I want to accomplish to macros. Within a macro you can cast and this is where I see this working. Now, taking a 5 team boxer as an example AND with 3 possible types of heal; triggered by left, middle & right mouse buttons. You would require 15 macros. One macro per toon per heal type. I don't think 15 is that many...but maybe you do. Anyway, the heal message would require 3 pieces of information, something to indicate its a heal request and not a settings update, the toon to be healed and the type of heal. So, something like this "heal Jonboy left". "heal" marks it a heal request, "Jonboy" the toon to heal and "left" the type, left mouse button was clicked. With that information the proper heal macro would execute. Since you would have 15 macros, 5 for left mouse button, 5 for middle and 5 for right with one entry for each toon.

So good idea...??? or I can't believe this noob spelled his name right to register with this site...

What I do is put heals in my hand then click on a bar and it heals that person. You can either cast a heal/buff with no target (and auto-cast on self disabled) or use @none (used to be target=none). That puts the spell in your hand and you can click on whoever/whatever you want to use the spell on (jamba bars, focus frame, raid frame, party frame, char bar (" V "), etc.).
