Multi-use feature for macros - (faster looting, avoid being kited...)

[pqs]

Interact with target. How many people actually use this. Its starting to become more popular, especially with bot developers. First off you need to press escape and go into key bindings. Look for "Interact with target" and bind it to an easily accessible key (º for me, left of number 1).



Right click to move might also have to be enabled for some of these. Here are ways you can put this to use:

Grinding, target + loot faster - yep, sounds silly, but I'm sure farmers will appreciate not having to use the mouse to right click the target (move to him) and right click again to loot.

/targetlasttarget
*press interact with target key binding*

Facing targets - Ever get annoyed (especially melee classes) when an enemy goes behind you? Especially in pvp when rogues move behind you. Might be more viable if you use a mouse a lot to turn, but if you are more of a key presser, just spam you interact with target key. This also makes you run to the player if they are out of distance.

Open NPC dialog box - Ever been at a crowded NPC and not be able to click it? AH? Flight path? Handing in Victory in Wintergrasp when 10000 people on mammoths are covering quest giver?

/target Tactical Officer Ahbramis
*interact key binding*

Can interact with NPC's through walls - A good example is a macro I found and is also in my gold guides post. You can stand by the mailbox in SW outside AH entrance and access the AH at the same time. Saves ALOT of time from running

/cleartarget
/targetexact Auctioneer Jaxon
/cleartarget [dead] [noexists]
*interact binding*

Avoid being kited - Silly druid/hunter kiting you? Spam your interact with target binding and it will "right click him", following him and taking the shortest path. You will stick on him like flies on shit :P

Boss fights - Those that involve you moving quickly to a target. An example is to get the achievement Watch Him Die in Azjol-Nerub (first boss). Random party members get Web Wrapped and you must break them quick. Could do /tar + instant cast spell, but not all classes have this.

/tar web
*interact key binding*

And many more. Will try keeping this updated. Feel free to add some more yourselves.

huh, never knew this existed.

[Zing!]

This doesn't make me follow targets...

EDIT: Perhaps I mis-understood, it doesn't work like /follow?

Also doesn't make me face the target.

Yep it does.
Yes you did
Make sure you have click to move enabled. (interface, mouse). It works like follow but for enemy targets too.

just realized u gave me 10 rep! ^^ty, you are too kind. Just trying to help people here lol. Exactly my point, not many people know how to use it

[Zing!]

Ah, nice, if only you didn't need click to move, hate that thing.

[Thelovefool]

you can only face your target it your target is a npc

edit: sorry my failure i was wrong. +rep for you

[roehama]

Oh man this is pretty epic, so if i spammed the button on, lets say a gnome rogue that kept jumping around/behind me, it would make my character turn towards him/her?

Btw: +rep for you

[PinkiPan]

use it all time in multiboxing

[eric703]

OMG, it's REAL !!

Thank you so much !!

This is a pretty cool feature that I didn't know about. If I could rep, I would.

Was this feature added in a recent patch? If so, do you think there is a new slash command for it's functionality or maybe an API command that you could use with /script?

Failing that, is there a way to script you pressing a button, without an outside program?

I know it's a slim chance, but this would be neat. I might even consider switching to click to move if I could have one button that i press once to both targetlasttarget and loot.

Still, nice find!

I can't believe I have been playing WoW since Beta without knowing this.

I look forward to experimenting with macros. Thanks!

interact with target was just added recently.. So don't beat yourself :P

[psyco1999]

I multi-box, and I never knew about this, it's going to make things sooo much easier, thank you. - +Rep

[pqs]

Oh my god, I forgot to add how it would be so useful for multiboxing. Especially for handing in quests etc., just make a macro for assist target, interact with target.

There sort of is a way... "interact with mouseover" if your mouse is over the mob, press your "interact with mouseover" which will make him select it and loot it.

Thanks so much guys for all the feedback, didn't know how useful some of you would find it :P nearly contributor now! =D
