Macro for marking targets in raids/dungeons

[ClitYeastWood]

Hello,

I am unsure if this is a well known macro. Anyhow, I feel like this is a good macro for any player whos in charge
of marking targets.

/run SetRaidTarget("target", 8) = Skull

/run SetRaidTarget("target", 7) = Cross

/run SetRaidTarget("target", 6) = Square

/run SetRaidTarget("target", 5) = Moon

/run SetRaidTarget("target", 4) = Triangle

/run SetRaidTarget("target", 3) = Purple

/run SetRaidTarget("target", 2) = Circle

/run SetRaidTarget("target", 1) = Star

/run SetRaidTarget("target", 0) = Removes the mark

Never used macros but very usefull too us noobs out here

Can I change the "/run SetRaidTarget("target", 7) = Cross" to "/run SetRaidTarget("target", F7) = Cross" for F1-F10 keys?

That's not how it works, those numbers indicate which Mark.it is, 7 tells the game that you want to mark it with cross. You don't need the part after the equal sign. Those are the descriptions. In any case, there is a keybinding section that lets you bind keys to these marks so that you don't need macros, unless you want to click I guess.

You can just Keybind them all, these are just so you can put them on your bars. I use the Numpad for all my marking needs

Sort of related. Anyone know a way to target a mob with a specific mark?
Does the WoW API even allow it?

[Meck]

Looking through the API right now and it seems that GetRaidTargetIndex might do the trick:

http://wowwiki.wikia.com/API_GetRaidTargetIndex

I'll test it today.

Edit: Yeah, it works.

There is a way to target mobs with raid targets placed on them.

/run for i=1,13 do TargetNearestEnemy();if GetRaidTargetIndex("target")==X then do return;end;end;end;

Underlined characters: 13 represents the number of mobs to cycle through. Increase it to suit your needs. X represents the number of the raid target index. (8 is skull etc)

there will never be a way which works 100% flawless to target a mob with a certain mark.
the best method (imo) would be checking if any raidmember is targeting the wanted marked mob

If you don't want to put them on your bars, LuckyCharms is a mod that does this and has hotkeys available.

Any possible method to set IDs on a target locally and have something along the lines of using Unit GUID, SetRaidTarget, and RaidTargetIndex? Ever since I noticed the marks being removed when a mob is killed, I thought about it. ClassicFocus reinforced my idea even more because the target is always in focus no matter what you have targeted at the time.
