Request: Target's Target

Not sure if its easy to do but this is what I had in mind:

A Custom Target window, where below the Target, you had the Target's Target, showing the victims name/current hp in exactly the same way as the real target.

Ideally you would also be able to click the victims name and get him as new primary target(in the same way that you can click a groupmember, and get him as target).

Would be nice for clerics, paladins and assist healers and the like.

Implementation:
- The NameOfLastSuccessfulTargetHit field in ACTORINFO could be used to find the Target's Target.

- I dont know alot about UI details, so not sure if we would need another hook to implement the click on victim=sets new target part.


EDIT: Just occured to me that the "NameOfLastSuccessfulTargetHit" could possibly be corrupted by rampages/ripostes etc, so maybe this is not worth the effort implementing after all

If this is possible, it would be one hell of an upgrade to my boxing raid healers.


This would make life alot easier in many ways.

Hears for hoping!!!

This has been asked over and over through the years. It's not possible, as far as I know and as far as has been answered.

It's also in the wrong forum ;)

assist

I think what you want is already in game. When I played a healer I used a method called double assist. Basically I hit the /assist BigBadMT which targeted the mob, then hit /assist this will give the who the mob is aggroed on. To automate this maybe put it in a loop that exits when the MT does not have a target.

maybe
name= $target(lastattacked)
hp=$spawn($target(lastattacked),hp,cur)

although $target(lastattacked) only kind of works. I notice it blank when it's obvious the target is hitting something. And it will take some serious tweaking to get a hp bar for that person like a normal target hp bar

A spawn's target is not available on the client. It requires a response from the server as a result of a /assist. This is already availabe to clever macro writer.
