Macro for loading saved xtargets?

    Is there a command so i could macro loading a saved extended target set? say maybe could use for druid to.
    /load xtarget set (group players)
    /xtarg 1
    /cast (heal)
    /load xtarget set (main tank 4 auto)

    figured would be easier and more flexable than retyping group members names into individual macros for heals, and may possibly open up other options for set ups.

    Thnks

    Theoretically, /help xtarget will get you the syntax for saving xtarget templates. I never could get them to save or load properly and finally gave up on it.

    See this thread.

    I'm sad that my raidset clears it self when I logout -- spellsets don't clear, why would my extended target set clear?

    I also gave up on loading a saved xtarget set .. however i was able to do the exact same thing as what my xtarget set is via macro

    /xtarget set <slot> <role>

    role being the 1st characters of the words in the menus ...TT = targets target .. RA1T = raid assist 1 target ect ect ect, (puller i was unable to figure out, p = pet, PT = pet target ----PU errored)

    /pause 4, /xtarget set 1 TT
    /pause 4, /xtarget set 2 GT


    ect ect ect til you fill out 5.

    i used that in conjunction with

    /grouprole

    1 - 4 = the menu top down 1 = Main tank

    /grouprole set (character name) 1

    you can set the same character to multiple roles just do it again using a new rol .. same role removes role

    my macro looks like this

    /pause 4, /xtarget set 1 TT
    /pause 4, /xtarget set 2 GT
    /pause 4, /grouprole set (character name) 1

    hope this helps ...its not really a "load" of the saved file but it can 1 key the same effects

    Hate to necro, but wanted to add in case someone else stumbles upon this thread like I did.

    Set Group Puller:
    /xtar set 1 GP
    Set Group Puller's Target:
    /xtar set 2 GPT

    Would be nice if I could set it once and not have to set it again every time. Also, Id like it alot if there was a way to set the first slot to main assist target so if I was in group it would be the group assist target and if I was in raid it would be the raid assist target, just like how /assist main works either way.

    Gonna necro this also. I play a box group and create a hotkey that does this:

    /xtar set 1 "name1"
    /xtar set 2 "name2"
    /xtar set 3 "name3"
    /xtar set 4 "name4"
    /xtar set 5 "name5"

    This sets all 5 of my chars in the xtarget window. Hope this helps.

    So, to recap the orig issue: There are no command line options for saving/loading extar profiles. Have to use the UI to do that. Other option is to have a macro/macros which individually set the extar lines how you want.

    As to "I'm sad that my raidset clears it self when I logout -- spellsets don't clear, why would my extended target set clear?" from @Fenthen:

    You're probably logging to a different toon before you log out. I have 6 accounts, and use one account for offline Bazaar selling. That account needs the extar profile reloaded every time I log in. The other 5 are fine. Well, except for monthly patches and other assorted downtimes, LOL!

    I'm almost sad that I am still playing this dumb game 9 years after I posted that.

    Thankfully we can't see the posts we made 20+ years ago, since they've wiped and restarted the forums TWICE since then ;)

    I wish it wouldn't clear NPC when zoning. Xtar healing mercs and pets is extremely aggravating.
