No <mo> Equivalent for Console Players?

[OrganizationXIll]

I was on the PS4 beta this weekend and decided to do my macros from new and try to do the macro your talking about, By doing the macro the other way round i was able to heal me and my pet separately with the one macro, I tried it in Crystal Tower and seemed to work there also. I don't know if this only works on PS4 as i haven't tested it on PS3 but it may be worth a try. It was something like this
/macroicon "Physick"
/ac "Physick" <t>
/ac "Embrace" <t>

Finally someone understands lol.

Really? By the way macros work for consoles that shouldn't work. <t> is your highlighted target as of now and if there isn't one it defaults to your selected target. If that actually works then my thread would now become about explaining why that works lol.

Individual macro lines have the same effect as raw abilities cast on their end targets. When you cast one of your own spells (e.g. Physick) on your highlighted target, you lose the highlight and go back to your selected target. This doesn't happen with pet abilities. So when you have Physick as the first line, it casts on your highlighted target, then drops the highlight, leaving Embrace to cast on your selected target. When you have Embrace as the first line, it casts Embrace on the highlighted target, but doesn't drop the highlight, so Physick casts on the still highlighted target.

Ahh. Very nice work around. Still wish I had <ht>, but this solves my problem thanks guys!

Yeah it wasn't intentional but a kind of lucky mistake after trying the same <mo> macro you were, I was really confused at first because the heals were split between me and the pet yet i was getting the <mo> error message and i wasn't sure what was right and what was wrong lol, Now it makes sense but i still wish we had the <ht> equilavent as you say.

Agreed. We need to try and get the devs attention on this matter. This needs to be addressed. I'm sure there are many people like me that just decided to forget about it because google doesn't help. Bump war guys?

No body cares about this little oversight lol.

With PS4 you can use <mo>

Or should be the thread title more like "No <mo> Equivalent for Control Players?"?

It if you don't use <ht> it could default to target to keep it the way it works now. Just add that if <ht> is used you can use your <ht> and your <t> as 2 different targets for macro purposes.

I think what you want is <st> for second target

PS3 can use it to, but yes. Controller users can't use the <mo> tag.
<st> doesn't exist, but it serves the same purpose. We need a tag for the yellow highlighted target.
