Release Xtar.mac .3

[BlankStare]

BlankStare submitted a new resource:

Xtar.mac - Adding raid tanks to your extended target window

This is the first version - basic functionality. It works well with MQ2Cleric, MQ2Shaman, MQ2Enchanter, and anything else where you want tanks on your extended target window for buffing, healing, and so on.


Future versions, being worked on, will have more optional commands for better control.

BlankStare updated Xtar.mac with a new update entry:

Ordering by tanks

New version now sorts your extended target window by Warriors, then Paladins, then Shadow Knights.
Remember if a tank is not in the zone with you, it will still reserve a spot for them but won't put them in the window, as it cannot target them. This will leave a blank spot on your extended target window. Re-run it when everyone is in the zone.

this is awesome!! How hard would it be to add a line for clerics / shamans within your raid?

 

[arb22]

Not my marcro but this should help. You would want to add the following sub:

Sub SetCle

    /declare p int local

    /for p 1 to ${Raid.Members}

        /if (${Select[${Raid.Member[${p}].Class.ShortName},CLE]}) /xtarget set ${x} ${Raid.Member[${p}]}

        /if (${Select[${Raid.Member[${p}].Class.ShortName},CLE]}) /varcalc x ${x}+1

    /next p

/return

(I modified the Pal one for this)

-- then in sub main at the top add :

/call SetCle

in the spot/order you want Clerics on the list,

you can do a mod like this for shaman's as well.

Thanks @arb22
Yeah that's the basic premise. I never really thought about other classes, and would manually add someone (a bard on Aaryonar, enchanter for Klandicar, a fellow healer) if I needed to. This was just an easy way for me to get tanks in for my healer classes, or on my enchanter (to use NPT/haste/etc). We do a lot of box raids so spending as little time as possible on my non-driver characters is always appreciated.

Glad I was able to jump in and help on this, and yes it is a great Macro @BlankStare I find it can be handy even for mains if your on a raid force with loose attendance, it is better then a saved list of tanks that can be inaccurate.

BlankStare updated Xtar.mac with a new update entry:

Adds raid targets

This version will add Dhakka and Dextris to your extended target list. I was tired of doing it manually.
I also decided to skip past tanks who are not in the zone (slackers? boxes for coins?) as I hated seeing blank spots.


More to come.

I edited mine to add clerics after the tanks.. Now I would like to figure out how to add raid MAs. So it would load all the tanks, then clerics, then raid MAs... that would be helpful...

I have another version being worked on to do cleric/sham/druid. The code is already in the macro, just wanted more testing on my end for different commands or xtar modes. I'm mapping out how many inputs I want to reasonably provide.

Tanks + clerics, tanks + all priests, priests only, and so on.

Raid MAs is not a bad idea. I'll include to ensure it's not already a name we're throwing into the xtar so it's not doubled.

This is a godsend. Thank you so much.

I just want the tanks, clerics, raid MAs
