Arena Target Macro

[RouZeRogue]

Okay so i really need a macro that can target arena 1 and arena 2 frame (switch target between 2 enemies in arena) with one button

Please don't say just press tab cause i don't want to TARGET NEAREST. I want it so it switches between the two enemies in 2v2 without clicking in on them (i use gladius)


i thought it be something like this but it doesn't work

/target [target=arena1]
/target [target=arena2]


but doesn't work

Any help would be amazing

thanks!

/target [target=arena1, harm] arena2
/target [target=arena2, harm] arena1

So to be honest not sure if it'll work, and I don't have much of a way to testing it since I've never even been into an arena before, and my guild seems to busy to join a party for a bit, but my gut feeling says that it will work.
It also isn't full proof since it won't work if you have something else targeted other than arena1 or arena2, and I know there is a way to patch that flaw up a bit, but apparently my brain is too fried at the moment to come up with it. Maybe Quinafoi will appear to fix my macros as usual. If not I'll revisit it tomorrow sometime when I actually have had some sleep.

Edit: I think I figured it out. Should test it. Bed time.

/target [target=arena2] arena1; arena2

What about blinding with 2 buttons?

Target=arena1 blind
target=arean2 blind

Also they don't work :P

the only thing i can think of is targeting each frame at the beginning of the match. and using a macro...

/target=lasttarget

Alright check this out.

The problem is you can also use conditionals to target a unit. For example the following three macros are essentially the same macro:
/target arena1
/target [target=arena1]
/target [@arena1]

Therefore, you can have a conditional with one UnitID, and then in the argument have another UnitID. So obviously causes somewhat of a problem. BUT, fear not for I have solution.

/focus [mod:shift] arena1
/target [mod:shift] arena2
/cleartarget [@target, dead]
/clearfocus [@focus, dead]
/target focus
/cleartarget [@focus, noexists]
/targetlasttarget
/focus target
/targetlasttarget

Basically I combined the good ol' focus <-> target switch macro together with a simple macro. So to operate it, simple hold down shift and press the macro once. Once the focus and the target are setup, you can continue to press the macro to switch back and forth between the two targets.

And just in case it wasn't obvious, this macro basically breaks if you use your focus for something else.

doesnt work

I got nothing then, works perfectly for me:

Must be something weird with arena unitIDs.

Maybe they are like NPCs for some reason, try this:

/target [mod:shift] arena1
/focus [mod:shift] target
/target [mod:shift] arena2
/cleartarget [@target, dead]
/clearfocus [@focus, dead]
/target focus
/cleartarget [@focus, noexists]
/targetlasttarget
/focus target
/targetlasttarget

yeah nice man that works
can't use for 3v3 though :P

/focus [mod:shift,@arena1][] %f
/target [nomod,@arena1][] %t

macro will change focus to arena1 if you hold shift and just change your target if you just hit the button. make one for each arena target.

/focus [mod:shift,@arena2][] %f
/target [nomod,@arena2][] %t

/focus [mod:shift,@arena3][] %f
/target [nomod,@arena3][] %t

i use f1, f2, and f3

Good but you still have to use multiple macros that way. Also, the %f's & %t's in those macros do nothing, you can remove them. Also not sure why you have empty conditionals, as I'm fairly sure they do nothing as well.

i got them awhile ago and they worked so i never messed with it. kinda like the saying goes, if it's not broke don't fix it.
