Broken macro targets in 3.0?

[magwo]

Hello,

I logged in today to discover that most of my macros are broken.

Basically they work like this:
/cast [target=Boohm-target, harm, nodead] [...] Lightning Bolt



Which no longer seems to work. Did Blizzard just stealth nerf this, or has there been a syntax change?

I don't understand how your "Boohm-target" is supposed to work or ever have worked before, targettarget and focustarget, and i guess party1target and the like are the only such ones working as far as i know.
Name-target... never heard of that before.

[Tynk]

nametarget does work, I believe the - is what is causing the issue.
any unit descriptor will work in conjunction with target, a players name is just another unit discriptor

[magwo]

Yep it did work before, but not in 3.0. Am I the only one with a problem with this?

I have the same problem, asked in the ui/macros forums on the wow site and got zip. Ended up switching to focustarget temporarily cause I wanted to PVP damnit

[magwo]

This is such an obscure target usage, I doubt very few but multiboxers will ever encounter this problem.
I hope it gets fixed, or that we discover the new syntax if it has indeed changed.

I had the same problem. For now I have just switched to:

/cast [target=party1target] Lightning Bolt

Adjusting as appropriate... my party is always in the same order.

Not what I'd prefer to do but it works for now, and doesn't take away my focus, or my real target, which was the reason I did it the way you did in the first place.

I decided to start using Name-target as well after 3.0 but haven't had a chance to try it yet. Silly question, but have you tried it without "-"? (I'd test it but I'm at work)

[Fortis]

I wanted to try targetless/focusless/leaderless setup yesterday, now I know why it didnt work. I hope they fix this soon....

Anyone figure this out or find an answer? I've had no luck playing with the syntax, nor have I gotten an answer to the question I posted to the WoW UI forum.
