Request - Subordinate Healers idea

[TaTaige]

I had an idea for a macro, and would love to either learn to make it myself, or have someone take up the idea.
The idea is this: The macro would allow you to make one character not cast any spells unless another is medding.
This would allow for a chain of out of group healers, each only healing when the other can't.

The execution would be something like /mac subhealto Ladyhealsalot. The user of the mac would then sit to med.

When Ladyhealsalot runs low on mana and sits to heal, the first toon would stand and start casting. When Ladyhealsalot stops medding, the macro user sits again.

In a super high damage scenario this could allow for chains of healers.

Thoughts?

I wrote a macro suite for TLPs that handles this functionality. It's designed to handle raid boxes (12+ characters) on a single computer and manages tank swaps, CH rotations, burns, etc. I was planning on posting it but it's incredibly complex and I need to document it. The way it works is there's a parent file (orchestrate.inc) that loads custom class-based macros for toons in your raid (tank.mac, cleric.mac, melee.mac, caster.mac, etc).

Here are the functions/commands it handles:

#bind LoadClassMacros /loadall
#bind ShowSettings /showsettings
| - Raid
#bind StartRaid /startraid
#bind StopRaid /stopraid
#bind SetEncounter /encounter
#bind AddGroupToPlayers /addgroup
#bind oRaidStatus /rstatus
#bind ReadyCheck /readycheck

| - Encounter
#bind StartEncounter /startencounter
#bind StopEncounter /stopencounter

| - Main tank and assisting
#bind SetMainAssist /setma
#bind SetPuller /setpuller
#bind SetOfftankTarget /offtank
#bind SetAssistMeTarget /assistme
#bind CharmList /charmlist
#bind SetRampageTank /setrampage
| - Format (name|ch%)
#bind SwitchTank /switchtank

| - Healing
#bind HealStrategy /healstrategy
#bind StartHealChain /startheals
#bind StopHealChain /stopheals
#bind CallNeedHeals /needheals
#bind oAsyncCureMe /ocureme
#bind SetDelay /setdelay
#bind oAsyncSetDelay /osetdelay
#bind UpdateChain /updatechain

The characters use this parent macro (orchestrate.inc) to send async commands so all the boxes know who needs what (cures, rezzes, ch chain position, etc). I basically used it to automate classic raids on TLPs (everything up to Luclin).

I can post it if there's significant interest but it's a huge project.
