[I have quit wow. It is unlikely I will update this, or any other of my addons.
If you wish to take them over, feel free.
Displays a radial menu when the player Ctrl+LeftClicks on a unit to quickly set that unit's raid target icon.
Usage: Hold down the Ctrl key and left click on a unit. A radial menu will show with the 8 raid target icons. Simply select an icon to apply it. If the unit already has an icon, a "no" symbol will be shown in it's place, clicking on that symbol or right clicking anywhere on the radial menu will remove the raid target icon from that unit.

New features for 1.0
- 5 man party leaders can "promote" other members in the party to "SRTI Assistant" allowing them to use icons!
- Promoted players are saved so every time you are the party leader they're automatically made SRTI Assistants
- Configurable modifier key(s) for single click method to show radial menu
- Configurable double click speed for double click method to show radial menu
- Keybinding method to show radial menu!
- Keybindings for applying any icon to target w/o the radial menu
- Options menu
- Test area to see the effect of the settings
- Console commands /srti
Possible upcoming features
- UI for management of "promoted" players, see who has been promoted, remove or add players when not partied with them
- Hooks to the SetRaidTarget function to let any raid icon addon work as a "SRTI Assistant"
- Keybindings for applying any icon to mouseover w/o the radial menu
- Temporary keybindings that only work when the radial menu is visible
Example: Ctrl+S shows the menu. Q, W, E, A, D, Z, X, C keys select an icon, S removes the icon, Ctrl+S cancels.
Q&A
Q: How do you promote people in the party?
A: As the party leader, right click on the party member's unit frame you wish to promote or demote and go to the "Raid Target Icons" menu. At the bottom of the menu is an option to promote or demote that player.
Q: How can I tell if I've been promoted?
A: Right click on your own character's unit frame. At the bottom of the menu will either be "SRTI Assistant", "SRTI Not Promoted", or "SRTI Disabled". The last option means the party leader does not have SimpleRaidTargetIcons installed.
Q: Why include keybindings for raid icons this when so many other addons already have them?
A: It's true many other addons include keybindings for raid icons, SRTI lets you use them in a 5 man party when you're not the leader (assuming the party leader is using the addon as well). In the future I may make it so any raid icon addon will work with this 5 man promoted feature.
Q: Why can't you promote people in a raid?
A: The concept of "promotion" already exists in raids so it seemed like an unneeded feature. However, if enough people ask for it, it wouldn't be difficult to include.
Q: What is "Select Icon on Hover"?
A: When the radial menu is shown, you can select an icon by moving your cursor over the icon instead of clicking on it. This can be toggled individually for the three methods for showing the radial menu, as well as a global setting for how long the cursor needs to stay over an icon for it to be selected.
Q: What's the "Test Me" in the options?
A: You can click there to see what effect the options have on the radial menu, and set a virtual raid icon on yourself. The keybinding method also affects the "Test Me" when the options are open.
Q: Why doesn't your addon show a list of the icons on the screen?
A: I wrote this addon because I didn't like those UIs. They took up valuable screen space for an infrequently used tool. I also found the separation of the target and the icons themselves to slow down the whole process.
Q: Can you add something that will let me target an enemy that already has an icon?
A: No, the short answer is Blizzard disabled the ability for addon to do this. There are addons that used to do this, and addons that fake similar features for raid/party members, but it is not actually possible for raid icons unless Blizzard adds it themselves.

Thanks, I was definitely on the replace isPartyLeader ball but I was thinking it would be a little more complicated than simply 'true' Patience wins again.
Originally posted by eddiemars Oh sad. This addon still works if one is party leader in 3.3 but even though anyone can select raid icons now this won't work if one is not lead. I really like this addon so I think I might look through the lua see if I can figure out a fix.
Also if anyone has any suggestions of another raid icon one they like let me know.
Well this mod was initially designed to let everyone mark so you would have to look through all that part of the code and find the stuff that deals with being party leader.

I never tried out the party member promotion thing until after 3.0.2 went live, but I can't seem to get it to actually do anything when I tell it to promote my little brother. Any idea what's wrong?
This has to be the best mod since AutosellEverything. Thanks for keeping it alive. I've always been the envy of my guildmates on the speed at which I assign targets.
Patience wins again.
Update?
