Mark My Words
About Mark My Words
This addon allows party members to assign raid target icons to mobs. Party members mark a target by whispering the appropriate command to the party leader. Only the party leader needs to have this mod installed.Whisper Commands
To mark a target with a raid target icon, simply acquire the target and whisper the following command to the party leader:.mark [icon][icon] can either be the name of the icon like "skull", "diamond", "cross", etc. or it can be the name of the color of the icon such as "pink", "orange", "red", etc. [icon] can also be omitted, which will use the "default" icon. The party leader can define the default icon for each party member, so many times simply whispering ".mark" will be enough.
Permissions
You can configure the permissions to dictate which players can use which icons. This could be useful if you want to be able to easily tell who is marking what. The permissions are separated in to groups: Everybody, Guild Members, and individual players. All permissions are additive, meaning that if you allow guild members to mark with the skull, and allow everybody to mark with the circle, then guild members will actually be able to mark with both the skull and circle. By default, Everybody is allowed to use all icons, so no configuration is necessary to start using this addon right out of the gate.Default Icons
You can configure the default icons for each group. This will define what icon will be applied when someone simply sends .mark in a whisper. Groups lower on the list take precedence over groups higher on the list. This means that if you assign an individual a default icon, he will use it even if there is a default set for Guild Members and Everybody. I personally recommend having your friends make a macro to whisper you the .mark command and then you can choose what icons will be used by setting the individual defaults.Chat Commands
/mark
Installing this mod also gives you access to the /mark command. If you are the party leader, /mark [icon] will mark your target with the icon you specify, or if you simply type /mark, it will mark your target with whatever default icon you assigned for your self. If you are not the party leader, then this command will send the .mark whisper command to the party leader. Be sure to check if your party leader is running Mark My Words before you start spamming them with tells!/markmouse
You will also be able to use the /markmouse command to mark the mob/player that you are currently hovering your mouse over. Note that this will only work if you are the party leader. This is nothing more than an alias for "/script SetRaidTarget('mouseover',1)" with the added ability to specify the icon by name instead of just number.Comments

Posted Oct 10, 2008I cannot seem to get this Addon to load. I use IceHud also which uses ace2 but for some reason I can get his to load whenever I log in. Any suggestions?

Posted Mar 12, 2007Looks like what I needed was here: http://wow-en.curse-gaming.com/files/details/6462/kromtargeticons/
I'd still rather have your mod with a toolbar like that.. (so all the people in my group could use it to mark)
example code could be pulled from that one (above) though.

Posted Mar 12, 2007This is a cool idea. I was actually looking for a different feature, and came across your mod.
What I want, is a small toolbar that puts clickable marks on screen.. (so I don't have to dig them out of the menu).
You could integrate that into this mod, so the group leader's marks toolbar, would just set the marks, but the 'clients' (other people in the group) toolbars would whisper the group leader with your command to set the mark.
That way, the others in the group wouldn't have to write (and maintain) a list of macros.

Posted Mar 1, 2007Hey, quick suggestion. For 5-man groups, what if you automatically assigned a mark to each person in the group based on their position in the group? That way you don't have to set up the defaults manually for most situations, and you only have to tell your fellow party members to whisper ".mark" when they want to mark a target with their assigned icon. :D
