Hello,
I have been trying to figure this out how to write a macro for this since Beta; is it even possible?
I want to make a macro that allows me to toggle between my last two targets, for use with Polymorph.
In other games (like Everquest 1), I think this was called the "Target last Target" hotkey, because it essentially targets the mob you had targeted previously. (Then, if you hit the same hotkey again without clicking on anything else, it would switch you back to the first mob, thus allowing you to toggle back and forth between them endlessly).
My end goal is this: I want to be able to assist the tank, nuke the tank's target, then click on a mob to Polymorph, then switch back and forth between the tank's mob (to nuke) and the poly mob (to renew polymorph) with the touch of a button.
Is there any way to do this?
Things that do NOT work, in my experience:
/script TargetLastEnemy() - Unless I am using this wrong, this script only targets my last enemy if I do not currently have an enemy targeted. If I have no enemy targeted, using this script switches me back to the last hostile enemy I had targeted. If I *do* have an enemy targeted, the script does nothing at all--I guess it assumes that my "last enemy" is the one I am currently on. (This seems very strange to me, but I spent about 10 minutes testing it this evening, and that's how it seems to work.)
"Target Last Hostile" (defaults to G) - This basic WoW keybind does the same thing as TargetLastEnemy... again, unless I am using it wrong.
"Just use 'target nearest' and 'target previous' to scroll back and forth" - This is what I am doing now, but I guess I am sort of an effeciency freak and I don't want to have to scroll through 4 other mobs to get back to my poly mob.
I flipped through a list of basic macros, but I am a newbie and nothing jumped out at me as something that would work. Does anyone know if this is even possible to do? If there is a way to do it, it would make the writer very popular with mages everywhere. (I have posted to ask how to do it on the WoW mage boards before, and no one knows, but everyone *wants* to know!)
Thanks! And thanks to those of you who write the awsome mods that comprise Cosmos; I love it. (It's one of the few programs I would gladly donate money to if there was an option to do so.)
