MTarget
MTarget is an addon that (primarily) assists in targeting through the replacement of tokens in macros. It announces the variables to the raid/party to allow synchronization of targets.
Through the replacement of tokens with values macros can be rewritten on the fly as group and situations dictate.
Note: Given that this is working with macros the updating of the macros can only occur when out of combat.
Version 2 removes the use of the unit ids. Using names works better because the group repositioning and tracking could not be performed effectively (zoning in and out of dungeons could easily break it) and wasn't needed.
There is now a minimap icon and menu so you don't need an LDB launch add-on.
Commands
To view the command line commands run /mtarget help. For a more detailed description of the commands and menu actions have a look at the Commands page.
Options
There are a number of configurable options for MTarget available in the addon tab of the Interface options. Go to Options for a description of the options.
I would recommend having the following options turned on:
Auto Write Macros
Examples
The following are two example macros that I use (for more go to Examples):
Hunter Misdirection Macro Template
/cast [@$tank,help,nodead][target=pet] Misdirection
Hunter Misdirection Macro
/cast [@MrTank,help,nodead][target=pet] Misdirection
/cast [@$maintank,help,nodead][@$offtank,help,nodead][help,nodead] Beacon of Light
So after assigning the value of $maintank and $offtank you end up with the following macros:
Paladin Beacon of Light Macro
/cast [@MrsMainTank,help,nodead][@MrOffTank,help,nodead][help,nodead] Beacon of Light
For a quick tutorial on using this addon have a look at the Getting Started page
* Fixed up the version tag so it isn't being marked as out-of-date (although it will be in date with patch 5.4!)
5.0.4
* Update version tags for 5.0.4
* Move the Templates button to fit the new layout of the Macro window.
4.3.1
* Make the drop down menu work for raid player targets (which is different from the standard player target drop down).
4.3.0
* Updated version tags for 4.3
4.2.2
* Updated version tags for 4.2
* Fixed up loading of the template button on the Macro dialog if another addon had loaded Blizzard's Macro UI before MTarget was loaded (e.g. MacroSoft)
4.1.0
* Updated version tags for 4.1
* Fixed a bug when trying to set a variable manually if it had a space in it
* Write macros when the addon is loaded (if the autowrite option is on) - this allows you to share macros between characters (in the global macro section) and set a variable to update the spell name for each character - useful for CC macros which generally all look the same, but contain a different spell.
4.0.1
* Updated version tags for 4.0.1
2.1.7
* Actually apply the fixes correctly as stated in 2.1.5. Yay for merge failures.
2.1.6
* Change the output on failure to write macros in combat to be a debug text to stop spam that happens when raid icons are used.
2.1.5
* Fix up the use of deprecated global variable this
* This version is Cataclysm capatible
2.1.4
* Incorporate some missing dependencies so you can use this without having Ace3 installed elsewhere.
2.1.3
* fix up some package dependency issues
2.1.2
* Fix an uninitialized variable error with the templates
2.1.1
* Implemented a proper menu launching from the minimap icon.
* Fixed up profile so that they actually work - this does mean your old configuration settings will had disappeared.
