Is This Assist Macro Possible?

[Freedom]

I had an idea for a macro while in a BG. Basically, it's a mouseover macro, which I know how to do, but if you target a friendly target with it, mouseover or clicked, it assists them. However, it does NOT assist an enemy, as that would lead to an infinite loop.

Is this possible?

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but using the [help] or [noharm] modifier will make it so that the macro only works with friendlies.

-edit-

Here's an example that I think accomplishes your goal:

/assist [@mouseover, help, nodead][help, nodead]

This macro will Target your target's target as long as your target is friendly and alive and you're not mousing over a friendly alive target. If you ARE mousing over a living friendly target, it'll target their target instead.

By the way, there's no infinit loop from assisting an enemy. All /assist does is target your target's target. So if you /assist, say, a raid boss, the macro will just target whoever has aggro on the boss at that time.

Thank you - I'll have to test this out tomorrow night. Maybe I'll just make a master bind for this macro, and use it when I need to target what my team mate or tank is targeting fast.

To add onto the earlier macro, you can use stopmacro as a sort of second set of conditionals to make sure you don't end up targeting a friendly or dead target of target;

/stopmacro [@mouseovertarget,help][@mouseovertarget,dead]
/assist [@mouseover, help, nodead][help, nodead]

Thanks for the help - I got CamdenQ's macro working, but not yours, Pikapika. It still targets a friendly unit if my target is targeting them.
