is /focus working differently in 3.0.1?

[Malekyth]

Hey all, I just logged on after today's patch and found that my focus macros are not working properly. Is it just me? I haven't seen anyone else mention it and hope it's just some weird variable with my setup that can be fixed. I put a few characters from different teams on each of my focus-and-follow macros, e.g. my F1 key:

/run UIErrorsFrame:Hide(); 
/cleartarget
/focus Osaar
/focus Malekyth
/follow Osaar
/follow Malekyth
/run UIErrorsFrame:Clear(); 
/run UIErrorsFrame:Show();

This should focus and follow Osaar or Malekyth, depending which is online. This patch, I get the follow as expected, but focus only works for the character at the end of the list ... i.e. Malekyth can be focused, but Osaar cannot. I haven't tested much further than just enough to become frustrated, but it seems it clears focus when I tries to focus a nonexistent toon too (and doesn't use the [exists] option to keep it from doing so).

Anyone else? It'd suck to have to make a unique focus-follow macro for every character on every account. Not the end of the world, but macro space is limited.

No need to make unique macros
In fact, the macro's used to change focus are the same on all my accounts/characters.
It can become a huge macro this way, Macaroon ftw \o/

/run UIErrorsFrame:Hide(); 
/cleartarget
/focus [exists]Osaar;[exists]Malekyth
/follow focus
/run UIErrorsFrame:Clear(); 
/run UIErrorsFrame:Show();

Is what will fix your problem probably, i'm not sure if it was exist or exists, my highest bid is on the latter.
Mine kept messing up untill I used the exists even pre patch.

I'm not sure why you had the follow with names tho, you just set the focus so why not just follow that

Yes, I experience the same .. If you have a focus target, and you try to focus someone, not in range or online .. You'll lose your focus target.

Before patch, you'd not lose your current focus target. WEIRDO!

exist

hehe, good catch ... no reason, it's just one'a them sloppy scripting things you don't notice 'til someone points it out on a messageboard.

I tried [exists] (and [exist] ) last night and concluded that /focus doesn't respect options ... but I did it differently, a /focus [exists] for each character on its own line, and expect that was what failed it. I'll update my macros tonight.

Thanks guys!

I found this out too. [exists] works off target afaik, don't think it'll work (try it out and let me know). I changed to something like this:

/cleartarget
/targetexact ziggy
/targetexact jiggy
/targetexact biggy
/focus [exists]
/cleartarget

It will remove your current target (you can use /targetlastenemy or /targetlasttarget at end if you want), probably some ways to improve it but it works for me I had just switched to Jamba too so I was beating my head trying to figure out what was going on, lol!
