Try

/target playername
/focus

/focus playername isn't valid

WAT? Yes, /focus <playername> IS valid. I just tested it. Please don't spread disinformation.

Mike, just as an example of the power of focus macros (especially extended ones), here's the one I use for my guys.

/follow donbatista
/follow bwana

/focus [target=donalberto, nodead]
/focus [target=donbartolo, nodead]
/focus [target=donramirez, nodead]
/focus [target=donbatista, nodead]
/focus [target=bwana, nodead]

/follow focus

/script --/click SmartBuff_KeyButton
/script SetView(4);SetView(4);

The basic logic behind that is roughly:

• /follow the leader toons just in case you're ungrouped or focus fails for some reason
• /focus whoever is still in-game and not dead, giving priority to the leaders at the bottom of the list
• /follow focus (which just does nothing if no focus exists)
• [commented out the SmartBuff button click thingy as I'm not using it at the moment]
• Reset the camera to the "bird's eye follow" angle.

It has worked well as a one-button-push refollow/refocus mechanic, and works on vehicles, too.

You might want to test that again. /focus playername, just as the OP had typed, is invalid because playername is not treated as a target assignment.

Valid examples of selecting a target and setting the target as focus:

/focus [@playername]

or

/focus [target=playername]

or

/target playername
/focus

Invalid example

/focus playername

Oh, geez...lol. I wasn't thinking that far back on the experience meter. :P I certainly hope that wasn't the error. Heh.
