Ok, have played forever however just getting into macroes. So, is it possible too have my target make a sound when i get it targeted. I feel like it should work but not sure how i would go about it. I get that /tar and name of beast would target the beast. But how to add a sound alert once its targetted then i get fuzzy. Like do i just type alert or do i have to have a sound file name. Do i put in conditional brackets? Please help as i sit her trying to. Lasso a target in the vale.
and type this on my phone while i try to eyeball the screen at the same time.
Take your pick

The Addons EB referenced are ones that alert you (with sound and other stuff) when a specific mob you’re looking for is nearby and usually give you a popup button to help you target it. I’m not familiar with Silverdragon but I think NPC Scan and Rarescanner only look for specific NPC’s and if what you are looking for isn’t one of them, it won’t be helpful.
If you are flying around looking for something specific that isn’t a famous NPC and just want to add sound to an existing target macro you can use the PlaySound api

The sound kit #'s it needs are listed here:
