Need help with a macro please

[Jimmyjimjames]

I am trying to make a macro that will target the nearest enemy and then use X ability, I am able to do this but I run into the problem of the target nearest enemy part continuing to cycle thru enemies, does anyone know a way to make it so I am able to target nearest enemy(or anything similar) and continue to use the ability in the macro without changing targets to something else until my target dies?

What have you got? You could try this at the beginning and else the rest of your current macro.

Code: Select all

/script if UnitExists("target")

[Jimmyjimjames]

/run TargetNearestEnemy()
/cast Serpent Sting(Rank 1)

That's what the macro is. I tried adding the script but it gave me an error, I'm not using any macro addons if I needed one for that to work

[Ravenstone]

Try

Code: Select all

/script if UnitExists("target") cast Serpent Sting(Rank 1) else run TargetNearestEnemy()

Shouldn't need any addons.

its giving me an error, that sounds like what I would want tho

I can't log in to check, but thinking about it, is this not default behaviour anyway? Casting Serpant Sting should automatically cast at the nearest one no?

[Jimmyjimjames]

I was thinking that too, it seems to only work with some abilities, it works for my raptor strike but when I try to do it with sting even next to a target it wont do it

[Jimmyjimjames]

bump?

[Ravenstone]

Try this:

Code: Select all

/script if not UnitExists("target") then TargetNearestEnemy() end
/cast Serpent Sting(Rank 1)

[Jimmyjimjames]

it seems to working the way i wanted, thank you for taking the time to help me. means a lot

[Jimmyjimjames]

is there a way after my target dies to allow the macro to go to another target if the current one is dead?

[Ravenstone]

Code: Select all

/script if UnitHealth("target")==0 and UnitExists("target") then ClearTarget() end
/script if not UnitExists("target") then TargetNearestEnemy() end
/cast Serpent Sting(Rank 1)

It works perfectly, thank you. I found the command to add a pet attack with it, I think its good to go :)
