not certain on this but don't you need the group ability to use target of target? if so that would be a possibility of why it's returning that can't check becuase i don't have that ability myself. I'm not good at coding myself so can't help if that doesn't do it for you

There are so many things wrong, I don't know where to start.

You know TargetOfTarget is not always available, right?

Target of target is available when the leader of the group has purchased it with GoD leadership points.

Don't use /goto unless you have to. It leads to what we call sphagetti code. Here is the proper way:

Code: Select all

Sub Main 

/if (${Me.TargetOfTarget.PctHPs}<=20) {
   /echo ${Me.TargetOfTarget.Name} 
   /target ${Me.TargetOfTarget.Name} 
   /g Snare on %t! 
   /cast "Ensnare" 
   /doevents 
   /delay ${Math.Calc[${Spell[Ensnare].MyCastTime}*10+10]} 
   /if (${Sit}==1) /sit  | what is this? some global var?
   }       
/return

You don't need /stand anymore since they made it such that you auto stand when you cast a spell. Works on duck and FD too.

As to why its not targetting... I don't know, but I just tried Me.TargetOfTarget on someone nearby and it return NULL even though the character had me targetted. Maybe you need the ability, or maybe its not working right.
