Weird follow macro issue

[maqz]

quick question tho.. I was under the impression that the nodead and help/exists part went after the the target=.... to make the conditions applicable to the target. does this way of writing it not place the condition of following on your own character? so you only follow if you are [help] or [nodead] and not the target? what i mean by that is .. that the clones follow command would depend on whether they are alive and not if the main is/isn't... am I anywhere close to being right?

just like when you write:

/cast [swimming....] Seal form (i forget the exact name) it depends on your character..
so
/f [help,nodead]Kaiya would depend on whether you are dead or not



in which case you would be able to write

/f Kaiya;Ðecea;Ælures no?

You got a point. I guess I was wrong, you probably do need the [target=X,...] syntax. :S

Conditions are usually tested on the target. Swimming and mounted and so on are exceptions that are tested on the player. However, I believed that in a /target command, the conditions where tested on the unit you were trying to target (that's why I wrote separate /target and /follow commands.)

I don't know if /follow will work with a shortened name like /target does, you'll have to try that.

Options do not carry over a semicolon. That's great, because sometimes you want to test for different options.

How short do you need to make this macro? I suppose you have other commands you need to fit as well, it would be helpful to see the whole thing to see how small it needs to be. Oh, and by the way, did you ever get the last character's name to work?
