Thread: targeting issue with bacta toss vs bacta toss enhancer

Hi all,


I have noticed that the bacta toss ability uses implied targeting (ie, heals me if i have a mob targeted that is attacking/targeting me), but when I use the toss enhancer, I get an invalid target message. To successfully use it, Ihave to target myself, use it, then retarget the mob. This process wastes enough time for me to get hit once or twice and thus negate the benefit of using the enhancer. I was wondering if there was any way to have /bactatoss use an enhancer by default to get around this. My temporary fix is to write a macro that targets me, uses the enhancer, then cycles to the first target out (hopefully the thing that I was beating on), but this is not a very elegant solution.


Thanks!

I get exactly the same problem and have worked around it the same way you have.


Seems like a bug, Bacta Jab Enhancers from Doc are the same.

Mine is being buggy...



I use:





/target self;


/pause 2;


/ui action toolbarPaneXX; (pane where my toss enhancer resides)


/ui action toolbarSlotXX; (slot in pane XX where my toss enhancer is)


/ui action toolbarPane00; (my main combat pane)


/ui action cycletargetOutward;





For some reason, it will work perfect the first time I use it during an encounter, but for successive toss attempts after that, I get an invalid target message. The target cycling appears to work fine in both cases...


Also, I saw there is a previous target command in the ui, but I cannot get it to work at all. Anyone out there use it? I think that would be much more elegant than cycling to the closest target at the end of the macro.

I think you need a pause after the enhancer, beacause the cycle target is flipping to a mob too quickly.


There is a target last in history command but I dont know the syntax, I'll try and find out.

Ok, copied in exactly what Iam using:





/ui action toolbarPane01;
/target self;
/ui action toolbarSlot23;
/pause 1;
/ui action cycleTargetOutward;
/ui action toolbarPane00;





It looks like I already had the pause after the toss. Is one second too short? It just seems weird that the macro will work once per encounter rather than every time or not at all...

replace highlighted with either "/ui action targetSelf" or "/target [your_first_name]"

I use target 'toon's name', just put self there for genericness

we should petition to make them auto pulled from inventory ( like oldschool stimpacks ) . anyone who doesnt want to use them up can store them in a backpack .

I dont mind setting up macros to use the stims but toss and jab enhancers need to be fixed to heal yourself with a combat target selected.






yup sorry i meant auto pulling for bacta toss and spray enhancers . stims are perfectly useable without macros anyway since they auto heal yourself even when someone else is targetted .

I don't mind having to target myself, but what would really help me is if I could see the cooldown on the specials I only have enhancers for in my toolbar.

The real problem for me is in PVP. I just get all my de-buffs on and parlaize then half to waste it switching to myself to heal, by then he is up and i'm on my back, heal was wasted and i'm soon dead. I'm a great pve role player but because of this healing problem i cant do anything in PVP. It is so frustrating!...WHen i put on poisoin, fire and all debuffs there is no way i should lose at all but because of heals i always do....there is nothing worse than you just about winning and seeing the "invalid target" screen pop up when you try to heal to finish it off!
