Greetings,

The following scripts are intended as examples of commands you can add to GCP to make your WoW experience a bit more convenient. The GCP staff designed their utility to be extensible. With just a bit of effort, there's really very little you can't do to customize GCP's behavior to meet your needs.

Note1: Please see this post: http://www.gamecommanderpro.com/node/166 for a general overview of how to add commands to GCP.

Setting TargetFocus and Interact With Target:

When interacting with quest, travel, merchant, etc. NPCs (non-player characters), I wanted a way to make all my toon's open the NPCs' windows concurrently in all the GCP managed WoW screens.

Here's how:

Create the following scripts in GCP:

AllTarget: (I assigned mine to the NumPad “4” key, you can use whatever key you prefer)

<<All>>
macro /target focustarget

The “<<All>>” is used to tell GCP, when I hit this button, hit the same button in all the WoW windows concurrently.

The “macro” tells GCP to send whatever follows on that line to WoW's command/macro parcer.

The “/target” is a WoW function telling your toon to target whatever follows the function.

The “focustarget” is an option of the “/target” function telling WoW that I want my target to be set to my current focus. Note that my “focus” is set in my “Switch” and “Follow” GCP scripts (see the bottom this post : http://www.gamecommanderpro.com/node/166 for an example of my “Switch” command.)

Interact: (I assigned mine to the NumPad “5” key)

<<All>>
Macro /assist main-toon
Hit 6

The “/assist” is a WoW function telling your toon to assist whomever follows the function.

Note that “main-toon” should be replaced with the name of your primary toon.

The “Hit 6” tells GCP to tap the “6” key (which in my case is bound to “Interact With Target” in my WoW bindings).

So, now when I walk up to a merchant NPC with my alt-toons in tow, I click on the NPC using my main-toon, tap my NumPad 4 key (tells all my alt-toons to target the NPC) then tap my NumPad 5 key (tells all my alt-toons to interact (talk to) with the NPC.) Now all my toons have the merchant's buy/sell window open. Combine this with Jamba's auto-sell, auto-buy, auto-quest, auto-taxi, etc. functionality, this can be a huge time saver.

That's it. Nothing fancy really, just a few commands to make things go a bit more smoothly.

Enjoy!

targetenemy tweek

Ty, i have used this as a template of sorts as well as what it was intended for. it works great for quests etc., but i was havin probs with enemies so i made this...

<<"tank">>
macro /targetenemy
macro /focus
<<"dps1">>
macro /target focustarget
<<"dps2">>
macro /target focustarget

it works great as long as the dps use the "tank" as their focus :) i'm sure others have come up with better, but it was my 1st GCP macro on my own and i got excited!!
use it, or throw suggestions, or whatever, but here it is in all it's glory *;,,;*

P.S. "tank","dps1", and "dps2" should be replaced my appropriate toon name of course :)
