Target macros?

Is there a way to target a target of a player with a macro or setting? Example, focus or assist on a target that the tank is currently focused on?

/assist Playername

That will target that target’s target. But you would have to make a macro for each person you would want to /assist

Thank you for your assistance. Is there a way where I can put someone on permanent assist so I wont have to retype the macro when the player changes targets?

You mean, Every time the Player swaps targets, you want to automatically swap to theirs as well?

Correct. I want it to be able to switch targets and/or cancel by doing so on the fly(cancel spell casts/DPS)

If you want to automatically assist the Player, laziest and easiest way would be to just add

/assist Suboptimal

To any keybind that you spam regularly. Not sure what class you play, but Bloodthirst would work well if you are a Warrior. That way every time you hit that ability key, it will swap to the target of whom ever you have named, and then use ability.

My problem is that target of his target did not switch when HE switched targets. It stayed on the old one.

It would be something like

#Showtooltip Bloodthirst
/cleartarget
/assist Suboptimal
/cast Bloodthirst

That should in theory drop whatever you are targeting, target the assist’s target, then use Bloodthirst everytime you cast Bloodthrist… Switching to a target automatically is not a thing I think you can do in-game. Maybe some addon would allow that functionality, but I don’t know it.

Oh ok very interesting. I will have to play with stuff. I am trying to set up multiboxing stuff!
