get target of unit's target

[Spawnova]

How would I get the target of my target through lua?

[Dridzt]

I'm not sure what you mean?
Its name?

If that's the case UnitName("targettarget")

If you mean like actually targeting your target's target programmatically that's not possible outside of the secure system.
Meaning you have to construct a secure frame that can target the target's target through a hardware event (mouse click or keybind)

Or a unitframe that shows the target's target (there's a bunch of addons that do that eg. targetAssist)

I'm sorry I should have clarified, I simply want the name of my targets target.

I'm not sure if it's possible but I figure someone here would know.

Also, the user will not be targeting the person all the time, basically what I'm asking is, is it possible to retrieve the name of someones target if you are not targeting them?

It's possible to use the UnitName function on party/ raid members, pets, bosses, your focus, etc., and you can append "target" to each of those to get that unit's target. You can find a list of UnitID values here and just add "target" to any of them. So you can, for example, get the name of the unit targeted by the 6th member of your raid group, or the unit targeted by your focus, and so on, but you cannot get the name of the Unit targeted by a specific NPC.

You are correct, after making some alterations everything is working just fine, thank you. =)
