Targeting Macro (Clearing target, targeting last target)

Post by Supremacy

I've always had good luck with the Wowhead community in answering my macro questions. You stick with what works.

So, here's another one. I'm about to start PVP (again...you know PVP in the 50's bracket is just Death Knight central, right? May as well call it "Death Knight Basin"), and just needed a macro to well, have some flair. Also, I need to find a way to keep myself amused.

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, though. In short, I'm just trying to make a quick macro that is just a /look /smile deal. Here's what I want it to do:

You look at <target>.
You smile.

I don't really care for the "You look at <target> and smile" thing. So, here's what the macro is doing, as I wrote it.

/look
/cleartarget
/smile
/TargetLastTarget();

After screwing this up for a bit, I figured I should ask if what I want is actually possible. Specifically, I want to do an emote, clear my target, do another emote, then target that last target.

I am 100% aware that if there's a problem, it's with that targetlasttarget thing. I am the first to admit I don't really know how to use that. Got the command off Wowwiki. The macro works fine up until that part. But in PVP, I just want, you know, to be able to have things automatically reacquire my target if possible, instead of me having to tab or click or what have you.

Is it possible to do this and have it just one button press? If so, I would greatly appreciate any coding...stuffs.

Thank you.

The command is just /targetlasttarget.

/look
/cleartarget
/smile
/targetlasttarget

Also, the following one will only execute if you actually have a target:

/stopmacro
/look
/cleartarget
/smile
/targetlasttarget

...I knew that. No, I was just seein' if you knew.

:D

Kidding.

Thank you. That works like a charm. And it doesn't even drop the current target, if I'm doing something with a cast time. Which is an added bonus.

Why?

Because there's nothing like using that macro when you have just a half second left before sending a fun surprise to someone in the WSG flag room.

"Who the hell? Why is he smiling at--? Oh, sh--"
*Boom*
