Let me start by giving you the background that makes me want to write this addon. I am currently playing with 3 accounts. My primary goal will be for PVE. I would be filling my group with a Tank and a Healer. The tank and healer will mostly be certain players but that will not be exclusive.

Currently We are pretty much forced to use named characters follows and assists, and generally that works fine. Where it does not work is when I want to heal party members without changing targets. If you use the Party1 to 4 variables, it will always get Party1 and 2 wrong.



This is where my idea for an addon comes in. Basically the addon would be active on all the characters you have. You will set a Master then X number of Slaves that would connect (Sync) to it. The master automatically sets the order of the party based on his party layout, or possible based on a UI config option. Once this is done, it creates global variables that represent each party member. So if the Masters Screen shows that Player 2 needs a heal, you know who that is and can assign the macro on the slave,

/cast [target=P2] heal



I am really not too sure if I have explained this clearly. To those that understood my rambling, what do you think?
