Help with follow and assist macros

[Rowdysattva]

I just switched from my mac using clonekey to a pc and keyclone (i also went from 3 to 5 boxing). I have just used a simple "/follow electrified" and "/assist electrified" for my macros on follow and assist before. I read the wiki on macros and i read the wiki on wowwiki on macros as well.

Toons names are: wyldvyne, rowdyroot, leafcutter, savagesprout, and thundertwig (five druids).

I wanted to use an assist and follow that would assist and follow in a predetermined pattern based on who was alive. On the wowwiki site they don't list "nodead" as a valid conditional, is it valid or no for a conditional?

I have the following macros

/target [target=wyldvyne, nodead];
/target [target=rowdyroot, nodead];
/target [target=leafcutter, nodead];
/target [target=savagesprout, nodead];
/target [target=thundertwig, nodead];
/assist target

I have the same macro but instead of saying assist at the end it says follow at the end. Neither one of these macros works at all. The follow macro makes everyone follow thundertwig except thundertwig who just targets himself and wyldvyne who doesn't have the macro yet. Assist is the same thing but less functional, everyone targets thundertwig (even himself, and not wyldvyne who also doesn't have this macro). I have no idea why they target thundertwig in both cases. I made a /follow wyldvyne macro and that one works fine. The trouble is i want to be able to switch this stuff around if one dies.

Any advice?
:wacko:

Each /target line is being evaluated. So, in fact, you are targeting each character in order if they are alive. This means the last name on the list who is alive will be who is targeted.

What you may want is the following:

/tar [target=wyldvyne, nodead] [target=rowdyroot, nodead] [target=leafcutter, nodead] [target=savagesprout, nodead] [target=thundertwig, nodead] [target=wyldvyne]

This way once a condition inside the [] is true that is who you target and the remaining conditions get ignored.

Note: I added the last one so if they are all dead then they will follow wyldvyne.

Your way would technically work if you reversed the order although that following ; may be an issue, not sure.

thanks man. Somehow i thought that once it found a valid condition it would stop... i guess it does but not if i have the other lines with the /target in them too. I will try this out, very helpful.
