Question - Is there a way to target marked pc 1-3?

[error1082]

I see in the docs that you can check if a spawn is marked with what number, but I do no see a way to target marked npc 1 for instance. This is using the original MQ script, not Lua or Plugins. Can this be done?

Current Raid or Group marked npc mark number (raid first)

In Lua you could do something like this using filteredspawns to get all the marks: then its just a matter of deciding which one you want to target.

local mq = require('mq')

local function spawnFilter(spawn)
    return spawn.Type() == 'NPC' and spawn.Mark() > 0
end

local spawns = mq.getFilteredSpawns(spawnFilter)
printf('Found %s spawns',#spawns)
for _,spawn in ipairs(spawns) do
    print(spawn())
end

filtered spawns does not exist in macroscript, so you would have to iterate through using nearestspawn and checking each spawn for their mark

Alright thanks. I guess I'll just run through the /xtar list and check them.

It would be nice if there was a native EQ command to /target gmark1 or rmark3 but there is not. I would always put them on xtarget and then could use that.

You could set specific XTar slots to RaidTarget1, RaidTarget2, RaidTarget3, then do eq command /xtar # where # is the xtar slot assigned to the marked target you want.
