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.

/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

Try
Code: Select all
/script if UnitExists("target") cast Serpent Sting(Rank 1) else run TargetNearestEnemy()
Shouldn't need any addons.

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?

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

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

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)
