So it was in the game but it didn’t have a frame? You could set a focus and it would not be on the interface anywhere? Maybe I’m misunderstanding here. I just don’t remember focus being used at all until TBC.
You did. I’ve listed how repeatedly. But it doesn’t work in Classic.
Bye bye Eloraell 2. See ya in classic Eloraell 1.
This is how. And doesn’t work in Classic.
Sure, you like depending upon some legalese in (or, not in) the TOS, to justify “not cheating”
Though, in essence, in the spirit of the game, IT’s CHEATING! SIMPLE!
But, you’ve been a cheater all your life, haven’t ya.

I found my old Macro list. This was the one I used…
/cast [button:2, target=focus] [] Polymorph
/focus [nobutton:2]
I guess I made it later than Vanilla.
So your focus had to be set manually via a script command if you wanted to change it? Also it didn’t display anywhere? Makes sense that I don’t remember it being used.
No account is being cancelled. She/he will still be playing both in bfa and beyond.

Good multiboxers are cancer especially in a non sharded game.

I don’t think any “target=” macro scripting was in vanilla
My memory is fuzzy. I guess it was TBC but I thought I started using Mouseover macros by then.
Where did I say that?
I said that I suspect that Blizzard will be just fine even with the loss of that $15 for your “soon to be cancelled” second account.
As for changing vanilla, was the focus command in vanilla? If it was not, then not having the focus command in Classic can hardly e called a change, can it?
We already knew that they are using the modern infrastructure. You seemed to be just fine with that. Ate you now suggesting thatvthey change the infrastructure to support an old macro?
I already asked her. She said it was in Vanilla.
So, it should be in Classic.
Pretty sure it’s not just multiboxers this thing’s gonna break if it’s not in.
Why are you ignoring my post? Blizzard has made it clearly dozens of times they don’t care how their decisions affect multiboxers. They only care about automation of the game. It doesn’t seem like you’re gonna get your way, based on previous patterns of behavior.

I’m a bit confused here. Why do you need the focus unit?
Why not just an assist macro?
What people used to do was /target Character 1 and then /assist Character 1 then use your spells.
You’re agreeing that Vanilla should remain changed.
They changed the modern API too. I know that we can’t have the old scripting but this broke both ways.

Fesz, it’s OK. Laeric is on the case. He’ll get to the bottom of this for sure. His vast knowledge of WotLK will be of much use here.

I may be mistaken, but I believe that the focus command was added in TBC.
I believe that a scripted macro could be used in vanilla to accomplish what the later added focus command did, but the modern infrastructure does not support.
We already knew that some things which were possible via macros in vanilla would mot be possible in Classic due to the new infrastructure. This appears to me to be just one of those things.
I guess Classic might not be convenient enough for some retail players, after all.
You can still multibox with an assist macro…
Is the issue targetting? I’m so confused as to what the focus unit will actually accomplish.
I think the focus macros are for stuff like healing and buffing.
