Simple Macro not working

[zDocW]

<p>Hi I am trying to make a simple macro which does the following:</p><p>/target Name</p><p>/useability Regrowth</p><p>So all it does is selects a person or pet and supposedly heal them, however this does not work. What happens is the the last selected person is healed and then the Name is selected. If I had no-one selected before using this macro it first heals myself then selects the Name.</p><p>I have read through several posts on Macros but cannot see why this should be happening! Please help.</p>

Thanks! That works nicely for players, but not on pets - the command is actually /useabilityonplayer, unfortunately /useabilityontarget does not exist. Any ideas on how I might get this to work on player's pets?

The new macro system (which was introduced some months ago now) has made this infinitely easier for players without knowledge of the many many commands that are out there. To this end, if you create a macro, open a use spell/ability command and drag and drop the ability/spell into there - your regrowth for example, it should give you a 'target' box next to the ability. Leave this blank and it will be cast on whoever you're targeting, just like the spell itself, or enter the name of your pet and it will automatically cast it on your pet. Other options when using macros on the target you've currently got selected is but using the "%T" in the place of their name. In my experience, this works for both PCs, NPCs and Pets.Hope this helps.
