Targeting Raid Markers....

[mshallard]

Probably a simple question, but it is possible to create a keybound macro to target a mob market with a particular raid marker???

I.e: /target skull

This doesn't work, but gives the idea of what I am trying to do.

I have tried everything I can think of and have also looked for addon's that may facilitate this but haven't come up with anything thus far....

Any advice if this is achievable.

which in the 3rd para says

Set a raid icon (lucky charm) on someone

You can use the script function, SetRaidTarget("unit", index) to put an icon on a unit. See the Targeting section above for more information on the unit parameter. The index can be a number from 0 to 8 which denotes the icon to use. See http://www.wowwiki.com/API_SetRaidTarget for more information. The following command will give your target the white moon icon. (Obviously, you have to be the party leader or a raid assistant to use this macro.)

/run SetRaidTarget("target", 5)

Maybe I haven't made myself entirely clear........

Setting raid markers is easy.... Either via Macro or a number of addons I can easily mark targets.....

What I am trying to do is automate my targeting of particular mobs... My main is a feral tank and I HATE having to use the mouse to target mobs and the tab key just seems clunky....

What I do then tanking multiple mobs (for instance):

Target first mob, Mangle, lacerate, lacerate
Target second mob , lacerate,
Target third mob, lacerate,
Target first mob , mangle, lacerate, lacerate

I can bind the attacks to keys.... What I can't do is automate the "/target skull" etc and bind that to keys.... What I am trying to do is something like:

/target Skull , mangle, lacerate, lacerate
/target Cross , lacerate,
/target Circle , lacerate,
/target Skull , mangle, lacerate, lacerate

With all these bound to keys so I can basically gain and maintain aggro on multiple mobs without any issue.....

No, you cannot target markers. Neither through the addon or the macro API. Sadly...

If you could it would be a botter's paradise.

Well... Not the answer I was looking for... But an answer nevertheless.

THanks :-)
