ISSUE with Target=TargetTarget & Click Castsequences.

[Whowantstoknow]

/cast [target=targettarget] [] Lightning Bolt <--- works when you have a mob directly targetted

/castsequence reset=combat [target=targettarget] [] Lightningbolt,,,,,,,, <-- does not work when you have a mob directly targetted

Conditions are the same, the result is different.

No it really does not.

As a test log in 1 character (to remove other variables) spam the top macro against a target dummy and you will get "You have no target" (as the target dummy does not have a target) add the ,harm and it will work fine

The second macro will not work as their is a typo - but spam

/castsequence [target=targettarget] [] Lightning Bolt, - will give you "target does not exist"
/castsequence [target=targettarget,harm] [] Lightning Bolt, - works fine

That first macro is exactly what I used until I switched to /click.

Notice the first macro was /cast - not /castsequence.

I definitely will try the abovelisted alternatives, thanks all.

this:

/cast [target=targettarget] [] Lightning Bolt

definately does not work (I am at the target dummy now) the only way I could see it working is if you are using an addon such as BT4 which allows you to autoassist

Just think about it logically you need the first condition to be false before it will try the second catch all condition. It will not be false if you have a target so it will try to target your targets target which will most likely be your tank. You can make it false in multiple ways (like adding the ,harm) or add a condition before it to test if you have a hostile targetted ie

[target=target,harm][target=targettarget,harm]

I'll be damned - I guess I should look at my own documentation every once in a while...

/cast [target=targettarget, harm] [] Lightning Bolt

is what I had in my own manifesto... /facepalm.

[Ualaa]

With the no focus manifesto, your dps toon is always targeting your active toon.
The active toon chooses the target, with the dps toon then casting at that target.

The fall through initially did not work, when I would fly the flower picker or miner out of range of the main toon.
However this did work:
/castsequence [target=targettarget, harm] [target=target, exists, harm] Lightning Bolt,,,

In a castsequence, the secondary condition of only [harm] did not work, even though looking at it, it should.




I've basically moved to something very similar to this... still using no focus or target=targettarget for assist.

target=target is never needed in a macro, it's a waste of valuable characters...
