changing leaders macro

[olipcs]

What i'm trying to figure out now is how do i set up a healing wave macro that has the followers heal the active window but not the have the active window heal himself. But if the active window selects another toon then he would heal them and the slaves would follow.

Well good question, honestly I don't know exactly if this is possible, but I will try to get it working:

1. to do this the first thing we have to do this: first target the main/leader with all chars but the leader.
-For this we can easily use the /target-line from the follow-macro
(/target [mod:rctrl,mod:rshift,nomod:ralt,target=ToonA][mod:ralt,nomod:rshift,mod:rctrl,target=ToonB][mod:ralt,mod:rshift,nomod:rctrl,target=ToonC][mod:rctrl,mod:ralt,mod:rshift,target=ToonD][mod:rctrl,nomod:ralt,nomod:rshift,target=ToonE])

2. If we are the leader try to cast a heal to our target
- This could be done by checking if no ralt/rshift/rctrl is send and casting a heal on out target
so:
/cast [nomod:ralt,nomod:rctrl,nomod:rshift,help,nodead] Lesser Healing Wave
could work

3. We want that the leader doesn't do something
-This could be done by:
/stopmacro [nomod:ralt,nomod:rctrl,nomod:rshift]

4. We are not the leader and want to cast a heal to the target of the leader (if he has one), or the leader itself (which is our taget becasue of 1):
-This could be done with:
/cast [target=targettarget,help,nodead][help,nodead] Lesser Healing Wave

5. We want to switch back to our former Target (optional)
- add a /targetlasttarget at the end.

so combined the macro would look like this:

/target [mod:rctrl,mod:rshift,nomod:ralt,target=ToonA][mod:ralt,nomod:rshift,mod:rctrl,target=ToonB][mod:ralt,mod:rshift,nomod:rctrl,target=ToonC][mod:rctrl,mod:ralt,mod:rshift,target=ToonD][mod:rctrl,nomod:ralt,nomod:rshift,target=ToonE]
/cast [nomod:ralt,nomod:rctrl,nomod:rshift,help,nodead] Lesser Healing Wave
/stopmacro [nomod:ralt,nomod:rctrl,nomod:rshift]
/cast [target=targettarget,help,nodead][help,nodead] Lesser Healing Wave
/targetlasttarget

WoW, what a big boy ;) ...remember: all from scratch, so no idea if it actualy works, but maybe you simply try it...

Amazing...simply amazing...let me play with it and i'll let ya know...i really didn't think it could be done with just 1 macro...<crosses fingers>

EDIT: Drum roll please .............. YAY it works !! You know your stuff thats a fact... Again thank you for the help...

Its simply a work of art...with no target selected by the main all slaves heal me...with an enemy targetted by the main all slaves heal main but main does not heal himself.. when main targets any slave we ALL heal the target...
Looks like i have to come up with another tough one to try and stump you on lol

Since I already have a separate button for targetting rather than assisting bound to actionbutton1 to make my macros a bit smaller could I use:

/clickactionbutton1
/cast [nomod,help,nodead] Lesser Healing Wave
/stopmacro [nomod]
/cast [target=targettarget,help,nodead][help,nodead] Lesser Healing Wave
/targetlasttarget

to keep everything within the 255 char limit? I don't use any sort of macro length modifying addons after the whole 1.11 fiasco. My targetting macro is pretty much identical to what the first line of your macro was. Btw thanks for your great writeups on HKN I have a feeling I'll be switching from keyclone soon so i can take advantage of the mouse click passing abilities of HKN.
