Macro: Broadcast Raid Icon

[Lealla]

Per EB's request. Usage is self-explanatory.

Code: Select all

/script local i,s,g,u,c={"star","circle","diamond","triangle","moon","square","cross","skull"},SendChatMessage,GetRaidTargetIndex("target"),UnitName("target"),"RAID_WARNING" if g then s("Target: {"..i[g].."} "..u,c)else s("Target: "..u,c)end

FYI, it appears that raid icons won't appear in the Raid Warning frame; this is a Blizzard bug rather than a problem with the above macro.

The code for this macro is:

Star:
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("target", 1)

Circle:
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("target", 2)

Diamond:
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("target", 3)

Triangle:
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("target", 4)

Moon:
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("target", 5)

Square:
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("target", 6)

Cross:
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("target", 7)

Skull:
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("target", 8)

I think this is a great macro for us tanks it will make raids and marking faster and in big groups it will make raid job easier

You can also just bind raid icons to keys in your keybindings, save the macro slot.

Or just get Magic Marker which automates raid target marking.
