Focus macroFollow

I searched a few pages back and finally found a page with a bit of information with a forcus macro. Now my question is how do I actually utilize this?



That is the gist of the macro I came upon. I am a lvl 70 Frost Mage and never made a macro of this nature. I use the X-Perl addon, and saw there was a focus option in the menu. Will this macro keep the picture of the focus on screen while I focus DPS on another target?

Any information would be considered useful.
Thx

I found this once (can't remember where)



Very similar to the one above, but I'm not enough of a Macro-Wizz to explain the differences.

I mapped it to my polymorph button and that's it.

Select the target you want to Poly. Hit the button. The macro sets focus and Polymorphs (no surprises there). The neat thing is that you just need to carry on pressing the same macro button, and it'll keep re-applying Poly to the original Focus.

So it's basically and all in one "set focus, poly, reapply poly to origanal focus" macro.

Very handy.

your macros will work, robertlofthouse, but you can't switch targets once the focus is set unless it's dead or unknown.

i use the following (some lines from the two macros above have been shortened into one):

/cast [target=focus,exists,nodead,nomodifier:alt] Polymorph
/stopmacro [target=focus,exists,nodead,nomodifier:alt]
/focus

you select a mob and hit this macro (pull it into an actionbar button and keybind or klick).
the mob gets set as your focus target and will appear onscreen with x-perl.
hit macro again to sheep. and again to resheep. and again...

when the sheep is dead or out of range (= does not exist), a new target will be set to your focus. as long as the old one is still around, it just resheeps that one without switching to the target you currently have selected (and can dps while watching the sheep).
if you want to switch sheep targets while the old one is still grazing, you hold down alt and hit the macro. target gets switched. redo above.
