Target commands for raid groups

[Celestian]

I am trying to figure out how to target specific people in a raid. Example would be target member 2 in raid group 3. I only know of the target_group_member # (where # is 0-5) for groups but not know of one for a raid.

Is this possible? I plan to use this to alter the way the raid menu works so that if you click a player name more than once you don't get their pet. I tend to "spam" click a raid window to get a player on target but if they have any pet at all I get that. I want to do what I did with my group menu and change it so I target_none then target the player.... this should also allow me to click to heal/ward/reactive properly as well to.

I don't know of any command that will target people in other groups in a raid. Type /target then hit the tab in game and see what all commands it list. Maybe there is one.

/target <playername> is what I use, there may be others

I guess I could do that by stuffing the player name into a var and then perform the "target_none; target VAR" on the button object when clicked/pushed.

Arre

I can click the person just fine really but clicking on them twice causes me to get their pet if they have one.

I just wanted a more precise way to make sure I got the player and not his pet no matter how much lag I was getting. I want to do the same what the click to cure works UI mod I use.

Unfortunately my method of stuffing the name into a var then targetPC Name didn't work.

I have been trying to use the following on a button OnPress in the raid menu:
---------------------
Parent.WardButton.sPlayerName=Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Target.v 0.Name.LocalText
target_none
target Parent.WardButton.sPlayerName
useability Malignant Shroud
---------------------

The problem is that when I press the button it will say no target avaliable even if the target is there. It's like it's trying to cast the spell before the target command is given.

If I remove the target_none if you click the button twice you will get the person's pet if they have one. I am trying to avoid that... I used similar commands in the group UI and it works fine... well I use target_group_member there however.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

This is what I came up with for the 3.x line of ProfitUI to effectively prevent pets from being targeted:

OnHoverIn="target_allow_pet_member_toggle 0" OnHoverOut="target_allow_pet_member_toggle 1" OnPress="useability Cure Trauma
target_previous"

To cure yourself use the command target_allow_self_pet_toggle instead.

Anyone feel free to use that code.

Oh very tricky you =)

I didn't even know those commands existed, very nicely done =)

I was looking at a click to cure group window, and was inserting the target_previous command that it didn't have, when I wondered:

You can "/useability Cure Arcane target=nameofcharacter" can't you?
Would it be possible to get the groupmember's name from some sort of dynamicdata and issue an onpress command that wouldn't switch target at all during the casting like this:
(excuse my awful hamfisted stab at an example)

OnPress="useability Cure Arcane target=groupmember1'scharactername"

If so, what would be the correct syntax?
And would there be any drawbacks (with the pet thing for example?)

Cheers!
