Focustarget & Bartender 4: ARRGGH.

[Dragonsblaze]

How can I get a bar to work like this?:

If I have a focus, and that focus has a target, cast at the focus' target ([target=focustarget, exists] maybe?). If I don't have a focus OR my focus doesn't have a target, cast normally (IE: At my target).

Any help would be grateful. Currently my setup is auto-assist checked, and the condition is set to [target=focus, exists]. That only really half works. It won't target anything behind me, etc.

Previously I was trying to do this:

Anyway, I've been trying and trying and trying to get a focustarget bar like I had in bartender 3 with modality (If I have a focus and it has a target, cast at it, if not, just cast the spell normally) , but no matter what I do (toggle hidden doesn't do anything for this) the bar disappearswhen my focus doesn't have a target. Set the target to focus instead of focustarget, and the bar doesn't go away, but it won't cast spells at the target either (Makes sense considering the "target" of the bar is now the focus >_<). I want to use Zanthor's Leaderless Hydra without having to use a contorted 2-bar method (explained in detail here)

But Macaroon just can't do what I want it to.

I wish bartender 3 and modality worked with wotlk -.-

So forty2j suggested I should post this to a larger audiance (instead of in the bartender 4 comments page)

Originally posted by forty2j You should ask this question to a broader audience.. it's a macro question, not a bartender question. Bartender will just fire the macro that you put in the button slot. Offhand, I don't know how to add the right conditions to the macro to do what you want, but it should be possible.

So I am asking here. If this is the wrong place, please put this where it belongs.

I wish I could help you but I haven't used Bartender since version 2 or so.

Lol. Thanks anyway >_<

I was going to use macaroon, but I can't do this with it. You set it up so it works perfectly, and then when your focustarget goes away... your bar vanishes until the focustarget exists.

Did you try Dominos?

You should give it a try then! It's capable of about the same things as Bartender, while being 324837522 times easier to set up :P

It's Tuller's successor to Bongos.

Never used it either lol. I'll try it though.
I foresee myself running into the same problem though. With custom states, when you are not in that state, the bar disappears (Gathered that from reading the wiki)

You know, I almost need to learn how to make my own bar mod, macro based, so that I may do something like this:

Normal button
/cast Shadowbolt
"Insert" into the macro my "state"
/cast [target=focustarget, exists] Shadowbolt

Sort of like macaroon, except putting that in all the button on a specified bar automatically.

Ehh, anyways I'll try dominos.
