    ''<t> Is nog a valid name'' help?

    /macroicon Raise
    /ta <t>
    /ac Raise <t>
    /wait 1
    /p <t> do not fear, your raise is here!


    I keep getting the pop up that ''<t> is not not a valid target!'' when using this macro, what is going wrong?

    I would add swiftcast aswell and move the party text first to alert the other healer not to raise.

    /micon "Raise"
    /p <t>, do not fear, your raise is here!
    /ac "Swiftcast"
    /wait 1
    /ac "Raise" <t>

    One changes who your current target is, while the other is for using an action on your current target.

    /ta tells it to change your current target to whatever you specify. So:
    /ta <2>
    for example, would make you target the second player in your party list (usually the tank if you set your party list sorting up with tanks first, since party member 1 is yourself).

    The <t> placeholder, on the other hand, simply says to use the specified action on your current target. So:
    /ac "Raise" <t>
    tells it to raise whomever you currently have targeted.

    This makes the combination of:
    /ta <t>
    mean "change my current target to be whatever is already my current target." So, rather pointless.

    Back to your original question, this would come up on the "/ac Raise <t>" line if you either don't have a target, or if you're currently targeting an enemy.

    hello. i would just like to mention it is possible to use the wait command in a way it won't take an additional line.

    /micon "Raise"
    /p <t>, do not fear, your raise is here!
    /ac "Swiftcast" <wait. 1>
    /ac "Raise" <t>
