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?
well as short as poss rly. basically I am trying to set my macros up so i can use them in Pve and Pvp for all my mains without having to use focus as a main targeting necessity. this way ensures that when I enter a BG i will also be able to follow etc without risking them all going off in different directions if I were to use Party1.
the only dissadvantage to using this way is the fact that I'll be running out of space in my macro box (255 characters).
The Idea eventually would be to include my clones in to the macro aswell incase my main dies and i need to switch to a clone .. this would mean that I am likely to have around 6-7 names as a requirement :S I will try and abbreviate as much as poss.. I hadn't rly thought of that ^^

"Ð" and all those odd letters would probably already suffice as 99% of the wow population doesn't use them.. I'll be posting the final one once I get it done
