I need to merge 2 macros

[Zzyzxx71]

OK this is my current lightning bolt macro for my slaves

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

This is my healing macro for my slaves - it heals whenever their target has targetted.

/cast [target=targettarget, help] [] Lesser Healing Wave

I was thinking there has got to be a way to do something like this...

"If targetstarget=harm cast lightning bolt - if targetstarget=help, cast lesser healing wave on the targetstarget". I'd LIKE to add this to it if at all possible "if target HAS NO TARGET, just heal the target."

Please don't bring up the subject of focus. I no uses it.

/cast [harm] [target=targettarget, harm][] Lightning Bolt; [target=targettarget, help] [] Lesser Healing Wave

?

I think you need to remove the [] before Lightning Bolt or the macro will stop there and not go onto Healing Wave (as it's waiting for you to pick a target for LB), other than that it should do what you want.

/assist <maintoonname> (Or "/target <maintoonname>target" if you don't want autoattack to activate.)
/cast [harm, nodead] Lightning Bolt ; [help, nodead][target=player] Lesser Healing Wave

Harmful target, cast LB on target.
Helpful target, cast LHV on target.
No target, cast LHV on self.

using targettarget on both would be unpractical and I don't see the need for it unless you have a dodgy macro targeting system. How do your alts communicate with your main?

Incase you use a focus system (which you should use if you are an x-number of shaman boxer, in my opinion.)

Then it's like this.

/target focustarget
/cast [harm, nodead] Lightning Bolt ; [help, nodead][target=player] Lesser Healing Wave

And have your alts focus your main toon. When your main dies, you can swith the focus on your alts and just change your main. The macro's are the same on your main as well on your alts in this case.

Kaynin - if I specify a toon name, what happens when THAT toon dies? I'm screwed - I use a non focus targetting method that has been very "un dodgy" for me. I prefer to save focus for other purposes. Check the last line of the oroginal post.

/cast [harm] [target=targettarget, harm][] Lightning Bolt; [target=targettarget, help] [] Lesser Healing Wave <--- looks like that might be the trick, I'll check tonight.

Well, if you use the focus system, and your main dies, it's no prob, change the focus on your toons.

If you want to keep focus for other things, you're better off asking other people, as I'm a focus system user myself. :P

I believe there is a way to target the party leader. So when a toon dies, make a new toon partyleader and target that one. (Something like /target part1target or something? >.> Should be on the forums if you search for it.)

I appreciate the input, I kind of think of myself as the protector of the non-focus manifesto (which I'm still writing) - my modus operandi regarding how I manage all this can be find [url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=6290&highlight=']HERE[/url]

As far as switching if my main dies, all I have to do is press my big button, and the remaining 3 target the new brain, and follow - since I use nondescriptive target=targettarget macros, it doesn't matter who the brain is.

Currently I use focus for..

A: Single instance runs with a tank - I set tank focus, and have a limited "heal focus" macro.
B: 25 man raids - set focus to 1 member (typically a tanky type) in one each of the other groups - I have a Chail Heal Focus macro setup - viola, I'm healing 12 people with 1 button.

I've stated before, it's not because I don't want/like/appreciate focus, it's because I DO appreciate it. It's so powerful I wanted to see if I could save it for "special" occasions.

Well, fair enough. I understand now in what way you want to apply targettarget as well. (Focusing, not the macro focus :P, on having your main targeted at -all- times with your alts).

In that case, this should work.
/cast [harm] [target=targettarget, harm] Lightning Bolt; [target=targettarget, help][] Lesser Healing Wave

It will be important to remove the empty conitions on the LB. Because if you do not. All you will get is "Cannot cast that on that target" as it will try to cast an LB on helpful targets.

Yeah just realized that myself, hopefully I should have the manifesto posted somewhere before the end of the day.
