Question - Quick question on how to target main assist with target id

[qaldyari]

So got a real quick question. To start off let me explain the situation. I have a shadow knight will call him "A". Cleric is "B", and I'm manually pulling on "C" character. So basic premise is I pacy all the mobs and then snare a mob and bring it back to group. Now since I'm still FTP A isn't get millions of AA's or insane AC yet (still mid 60s for reference). The mobs hit a bit on the hard side if I have to wait for cleric to kick in. So what I am trying to do and have had limited success is when C gets back to camp and is waiting for snared mob to get back in range, I send a tell to the cleric B to cast HOT spell (in this case 4882 Holy Elixir) on A to get him ready for the beatdown.
so with that out of the way my command is :
/bct B //stand
/bct B //tar A
/bct B //casting 4882
(replace B and A with their names)
so it doesn't work very well I'm guessing because the targeting is handled by KA. I have been looking at using the targeting ID command which might help but I keep seeing ${Me.ID} which won't work because I'm not the main tank, and then ${Target.ID} won't work because I am targeting the mob that is inbound. So real question is how can I switch out second line of social to use target ID like /bct ClericsName //target id ${Main Assist} or something to that effect? Or alternatively how can I get the target Id of my ma and edit the social for each zone if necessary?

So the command you are using /casting is from the mq2cast plugin, it allows for you to specify a target id and it will handle the retargeting and such.

so in EQ's options you can have auto stand turned on, so if you cast a spell you will stand first, i suggest yo do that.

/bct Clericdude //casting "Holy Elixir" -targetid|${Group.MainAssist.ID}

now for this to work your tank has to be marked with the group role as main assist.
