help with TargetofTarget

Post by nottheman » Wed Oct 06, 2010 8:46 am

I can not seem to get this to work.

I want my non tank toons to target my tank's target.

I have tried a command like:

/bc Rogue's Name //target Tank's Name
/bc Rogue's Name //Target ${Me.TargetofTarget.Name} also /bc Rogue's Name //Target ${Me.TargetofTarget.ID}

and

/bc Rogue's Name //Target Tank's Name
/bc Rogue's Name //target -targetid|${Me.target.ID}

Both will either return not spawn name or ID found (0-100) or and a NULL is returned.

Currently I am having to use the //assist key but I would rather just have my other toons target my main tank's target.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why take the extra lag and steps?

Not sure how you're running it, but from the tank or main assist you could do

/bca //target id ${Target.ID}

Pass the ID directly, eliminate the need for HOTT as it's slow and laggy, and also eliminating extra targetting.

/bc CharacterName
is deprecated. Instead use
/bct CharacterName

Also, another option for targeting the tanks target would be using the xtarget functionality. On my bard I like to set xtarget 5 to the tanks target, while leaving the others on auto.
